Terry Cruz jogs for an hour before working out.
Fantastic
This dude need to grow muscles before talking about it
Ok, but what if I’m actually a long distance runner and wanted to benefit from the lifting sessions… what’s the recommendation then?
Cardio improves literally every part of health, including allowing you to work harder and longer which actually results in even more "gains".
I wish far people focused on improving health than obsessing over "gains".
Youll never be healthy without cardio. Cut up but cant run for 30 secs is nuts.
I do elliptical for 20 mins and 10 mim brisk walk in treadmill and take 15 mins rest before proceeding to weight training everyday. 1 hr cardio + 1 hr weight training is what I do everyday since losing fat is my main goal and since I am on calorie deficit, body will also try to reduce muscle mass to conserve energy.
I don't know about others but for me, doing cardio before weightlifting has always boosted my performance compared to weightlifting followed by cardio
Lot of contradictions here
Thank you for the elaborated overview!!
I run, and I'm Jacked.
You gotta work out your most important muscle.
You have to workout longer with cardio gotta mix it up
LOL tell that to Eddie Hall worlds strongest man 6' 3" 350lbs most mornings 7 min miles 500kg deadlift can forward somersault standing – whilst he was Worlds strongest man or the big boys in the international level Rugby Scrum who play two 40 min halves no rests. The truth is the type of people who like the extra meals and do not like cardio do not want to do cardio full stop. Big performance athletes do cardio every week. The front row do look funny when they try to sprint from 40 m out but they still do it. The second row are also very flexible for big lads.
Very informative 💯

This video is offensively long for such simple conclusions. It almost feels like you padded it specifically to make it over 10 minutes long.
Yes, it's common knowledge that cardio makes you tired and reduces the intensity of your anaerobic training (reduced intensity means reduced gains!). You should never mix them together unless you literally can't help it. And if you want muscle growth you should keep cardio to LOW intensity; Walk, Don't Run. I would also personally recommend not doing cardio the same day you do weight training, you can already get a cardiovascular workout effect from your weight lifting if you know what you're doing, and recovery is more important.
If you want more information on the subject look up Heavy Duty College.
Why do you talk like a fucking monotone robot? Are you synthetic lifeform?
But running can kill muscle
I like the health benefits, the progress, and the reduction in recovery between sets, from cardio
Max incline walking not holding onto the treadmill at a relatively slow speed of 2.7 to 3mph for 30 min is fantastic.
Great start to the day at 6am like a natural type of caffeine. Then I also enjoy outdoor walking every day just to be generally active.
I've found walking to be the best for overall health, longevity, and recovery with no negative impacts on lifting at all. All the stuff I used to do like jumping rope, hill sprints, etc lead to gradual fatigue.
Ive been lifting and eating more for about a year and a half and have seen decent results, i started playing basket ball a lot the last 3 or 4 months, I go play like twice a week about to 2 and half hours a session I basically go till I can’t anymore, I feel noticeably better since doing cardio but slowly losing weight.
This was very helpful. That 6-11hr window was broken down well😮
Informative, thanks man
Urs Kalecinski, 3rd on the Arnolds a few days before, spents 60 to 90 minutes on the bicycle ergometer every day. He does it in the morning after first breakfast. After than he eats again and powernaps before he go to the gym in the afternoon for his muscle workout. Maybe this is his professional trick – Having a time pause of some hours in between his cardio and his weight training.
Wow! Very informative. I’ve always done my cardio before my weight lifting to “get it out of the way” and “earn” my workout. When backed by the scientific study that my weight lifting gains could potentially double if I have dedicated cardio days, then I’ll give it a shot for three months and see!
Thanku sir, I learned another tip
Good advice, but the scenes with the alpha bro in the background nearly made me spit out my coffee. Some of the most internet-breaking brofootage in the universe. Give bro a payrise.
I bike 20km 2x or 3x a day with no days off only for weather. Also I ride no hands no helmut and I do not expreinece fatigue but that can be the gummies lmao.
Never ever listen to studies or follow them. Do what works for YOU, and stop what's not working. Everyone is DIFFERENT!
