cardio puts you in a catabolic state, why would you want that when trying to put on muscle

*if on an empty stomach

cardio in the am after a whey shake = win

A lot.
I didnt do cardio for about a year while lifting weights, now I do it and I notice a huge difference in my sex life, recovery between sets, and after work out.


Sip BCAAs, fixed.
You think 10-20 mins of cardio is really going to hender your gains?
lol
Why you think alot of the pros do cardio in the off season?

when every calorie counts yes

high calories = muscle and fat gains
moderate calories + cardio + 1g protein/lb of body weight = slower muscle gains but also a loss in bf.

i've been under the impression that doing a bit of cardio 3-4x times a week actually helps when putting on dat dere muscle.

i'll stick with being fat because thats when i make my gains

I wouldn't say it helps put the muscle on, but it does help with recovery, fat loss, and all around health in my opinion.



have you tried doing cardio in the am with bcaas/whey in your system?
