Cardio before weight training

[Deafness]

Hey Deafness. IMO, if your goal is to keep losing fat, then going straight from cardio into weights is probably the best idea if you can. It'll keep the heartrate up. If your main goal was to build muscle, then maybe cardio should go after weights, but I'd treat that as Phase 2, and not worry too much about it at this stage.

That interesting comment ... If I may, can I ask something here, Of course I would love to build muscle and my weight routine is heavy weight 3-4 set 12, 10, 8 I warm up with 2 sets 15-20 -10 -15 kgs (pending the exercise)

I read a heap of stuff about this, which I guess my understanding could be at fault here. I lift heavy for strength and to build muscle, from my reading, I thought that having more muscle mass would in turn burn more cals which may equal in Fat burning. I am aware of the Catabolism of the muscle, so my intake of protein is high, to try and prevent this phase, I also take little HMB for the same purpose, my carb intake is low GI (Etc such like wholegain rice fibrous veggies, my main protein is chop chop & chicken breast, bit of red meat through my week) I also use an unflavoured WPI (Balance range) which has my BCAA's ... I take 15 - 30 minutes after weight training. my diet is good... some 10 meals every day.. eating every 1 1/2 to 2 hrs low GI carb & protein morning through to midday with a lower intake of carbs (next to none, toward evening) Protein remains high (also take milk thistle) to help the liver deal with its load.

So are my thoughts about more muscle = cals burnt which = fat loss, if protein intake is higher (protein synthesis)

trying keep my mind on this,

thanks in advance

Not quite sure what you're asking, but that's correct. It looks like you're doing everything right.
