What's your opinion on cardio on empty stomach in morning?
I think its not a good idea!....What's your opinion on cardio on empty stomach in morning?
i agree w/ DT. I think it depends on the duration and intensity.What's your opinion on cardio on empty stomach in morning?
yep, HIIT mainly uses glucose as an energy source (since your going at 85+% HR) if there is no glucose in your blood, your body will turn to body-proteins!First off, most HIIT sessions are 20-30min tops, you really think you are going to have that much muscle loss after a 20min workout a few times a week?
Likewise, I have had great success doing 15-20 HIIT routines in the A.M. I would do it about 3 times per week. However, I think alternating the cardio styles b/w long duration/low intensity and a HIIT type may be best.I also have gotten my best fat loss results from cardio in the am on an empty stomach, I stick to 20 min HIIT, my best results have come when doing wind sprints on the beach
There are some times when you'd rather use some circulating dietary aminos rather than catabolizing muscle tissue. This is especially true with BCAA's. Using carbs right before morning cardio kinda negates the whole purpose for morning cardio. Your body is guaranteed to use the carbs before it heavily taps into fat stores.If you are doing low intensity first thing in the morning there is no need for amino acids unless you bought them to be converted in glucose via gluconeogensis.
Not if it is high intesnity exercise. That would be like saying using carbs before resistant training will negate the effects of fat mobilization. It does not.Using carbs right before morning cardio kinda negates the whole purpose for morning cardio.
Yes, you should take some carbs before any high intensity activity.Not if it is high intesnity exercise. That would be like saying using carbs before resistant training will negate the effects of fat mobilization. It does not.
Yes that's true, but you also said:No its not. Low cardio shows a preference for using FFA's for fuel rather than glucose. High intensity exercise OTOH is heavily dependent on glucose.
There are NEVER times you want to use dietary aminos. That means your body has shifted to a point where gluconeogenesis is increased and you do NOT want that.
For low intensity, no.
For high, yes.
That makes sense.For low intensity, no.
For high, yes.
Actually I hear that Kevin Levrone has been known to sprint quite a bit. It's hard to imagine a 300lb BB'er doing that or any other form of high intensity cardio for that matter. It's gotta be akward looking for some of those massive freaks. I would think that their inner thighs would rub together so severely fast and hard that they would get some pretty serious skin burns. Ha-ha. also many pros are on 2-a-day workouts so to add in a second high intensity activity would too much. They're better served by a more low and traditional approach.Yes, around 60%.
There is a reason most IFBB pros (actually the majority of all pro's) walk on a treadmill for their cardio.
He used to be a track and field athlete. He does not sprint during his precontest diet.Actually I hear that Kevin Levrone has been known to sprint quite a bit.

Most of the local pro's aorund here could easily do high intensity if they wished. They are not "freakish" compared to the top guys. You are talking about the top 1% of 1% there.Actually I hear that Kevin Levrone has been known to sprint quite a bit.

Yeah, I'm speaking of the guys you see in the Olympia today. Many pros do use 2-a-day's, but this is only for a temporary thing and mostly likely not during a cutting phase. When dieting it's really hard to have energy for both weight training AND HIIT training within the same day - especially for the naturaly guys.Most of the local pro's aorund here could easily do high intensity if they wished.

Not that I know of. The biggest high volume guy was Jay Cutler who used to do split sessions all the time but switched to less volume and less 2-a-days and look what happend? He won. The majority do not use 2-a-days anymore.Yeah, I'm speaking of the guys you see in the Olympia today.

I would have thought that cardio in the morning is better than doing it post workout.Bobo, would you say that low intensity cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is better than doing cardio post weight training ?
Thanks 4 educating me Bobo.Not really. GH release (along with its anti-catabolic properties) last up to 60 minutes post workout. The whole issue of catabolism is highly overrated. In both situations yout body has increased its chances of oxidizing FFA's as energy. One might be more than the other but overall the results over a long time is probably insignificant.
