I've implemented moderate to high intensity cardio, 30min Fridays; once a week. I've noticed I've gotten a lot faster, my wind is a lot better, and I feel even better. I've still been making gains in every department. :) Seems like the perfect balance.

[@ZachOlson-lq4lw]

This is the first time i feel like the little fella is being unauthentic. If you watched the skinny old fella (I teased them both for equal gains) You would see that’s basically what Cavalier was trying to say. I don’t think these two should go at it. Maybe they can train with each other and agree to disagree?! Similar to CT Fletcher and Jeff… This whole world of shitting on every else is LAME AND HIGH SCHOOLISH..

Remember when Jeff(athlean x) used fake weights and lied about it?

[@ZachOlson-lq4lw]

@@sbtraining1769 even if that is true. I don’t care about that. His education is on sports health and training. He teaches form, nutrition, and recovery. Nothing wrong with that.

@@ZachOlson-lq4lwhe did but it really didn’t matter . Every bit of advice he gave in that video was solid

A big thanks, adjusting to cardio after weights.

I'm a collegiate rower, and from experience you can do a LOT of cardio before it starts noticeably impacting strength. Excluding being generally tired

[@stanmarr4488]

Agree. I warm up with a brisk 8 minute inclined walk on the treadm...then do my weightlifting..and end with a 5-10 minute HIIT exercise to boost EPOC(after burning) effect. It works wonder for body composition!!

love this, jeff cav was such a thumbnail merchant no sceince just vibes

I never knew that El Canelo was making training videos nicely done keep it up.

[@GeorgeTanner1]

To sum it up, balance is everything in life including physical exercise and weight training

[@chrisinstasis7986]

The magic sauce is right at the end - lifting consistently, sleeping well, getting the right nutrition. Lifting consistently is easy, a pleasure even. The other two take a lot of self-discipline (more than I can usually muster 😅)

[@Caenlorn]

I have rowed competitively. We would finish up on the Concept 2 rowers first since cardio was the main factor, stretch and then hit the weights. Granted, we were eating LARGE amounts of food to gain muscle mass and maintain our weight between 80-85kgs max. 7-8 hours of sleep, staying hydrated, zero alcohol and just being smart about our schedule.

[@andonbrown9131]

Trying to balance progress in the gym with medium to long distance running is one of the hardest things I've tried to do, and my leg gains are taking a massive hit.

[@daniel.m5278]

So true. I started doing my cardio after my lifting session and i feel great. I just run a mile at about 6.5 nothing serious.

[@EmblematicChalk100]

Cardio helps with sleep too. I run 30 minutes twice a week ( along with cycling and elliptical)and it has helped improve my mental health and sleep.

[@joecalandra3169]

Again, he is right on. One added comment is that cardio improves circulation, therefore the muscles will benefit from receiving increased oxygen and nutrients as well as the ability to clear metabolic catabolites such as lactic acid.
