I split mine - cardio in the morning, fuel up during the day, train at night.
Any suggestions on what I can do to push cardio while also continue progressing with weights? Could it be as easy as ramping up my calories by X to account for the additional exercise?
I combine mine- although I will say I’m at my ideal weight, but always could trim some fat. I do 30-40 mins lift and then end off with 20-30 mins HIIT on the treadmill
Depending on your goals it’s possible you’ll want to up your calories a bit. Definitely make sure you’re getting enough protein to maintain your muscle mass! At the same time, our bodies aren’t optimized to lose weight and put muscle on at the same time. So it’s definitely possible, but progress will slow. Creatine is the only supplement I found worth taking. Lifting before you run if on the same day will help too
What’s your goal with the cardio? GPP? Fat loss?
Immediate goal is general health. Longer term (I.e. years from now) goal would be to complete a marathon or longer race.
I’m coming from running maybe ~10 miles over the past 4 years to now doing 4-6 miles a workout (albeit at a slow pace) and am currently just trying to expand my volume over time
Body builders rotate bulk and cutting seasons. You need to eat a lot and rest to bulk. Go light cardio for a few months at a time. Then reverse, just do enough lifting to maintain and focus on cardio.
Time for beach season 😃
Fully understand.how loss of calories can impact physique athletes, but does it apply the same amount to power guys? I’m more concerned with general athletic performance (I.e., how strong am I, how long can I run) than being enormous at 12% BF.
to answer your question, yes you could ramp up your calories, but if you eat in excess of what you burn, obviously you will be putting on fat also. but you won’t lose any more muscle, so your lifting progression should be good again.
you could also try manipulating your workouts and diets to encourage what appears like lean muscle accretion over time. i’ve tried this and i think it can work if you are very dedicated.
the way it could work would be to split your days into lifting and cardio days. on lifting days, get your bulk-style diet in. big protein, carbs, fats, everything. achieve a caloric surplus and make sure you have all your macros. on cardio days, eat a caloric deficit. the deficit should come primarily from reduced carb and fat intake. stay high protein to maintain muscle growth. after months of working hard, you may notice what you’re hoping to achieve.
i would also recommend doing HIIT or other interval training as your cardio due to the increased VO2 max it can bring, but also importantly due to the research that shows that it increases your basal metabolic rate even into the next day, which should necessitate you to eat more calories on lifting days that you normally would, which, if you do, should make you even bigger/stronger.
