Cardio lead to drop in strength ?

[FONT=&quot]Its been a while since I've done a big cardio day, so I did 90 mins on the bike yesterday. Today I was definitely a little depleted and felt flat, but holy crap, my strength dropped a solid 5-10%.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]When it comes time to a contest prep what do you guys do to maintain strength? I know that I'll be doing a lot of cardio and low on carbs, so I know I will lose some, but I just didn't expect that much of a drop from one friggin day![/FONT]

I always recommend sticking with cardio. You don't need marathon sessions, but you want to stay healthy
 
In the short term, concurrent training (cardio and lifting together) is about 31% less effective for hypertrophy, and about 18% less effective for strength.
