Same! I finally got over my weight loss plateau as well. For cardio I walk miles to work and miles home… at a brisk pace. I also walk, or skate to the grocery store or to run errands. Where I live isn’t very walkable, however I like how the cardio’s improved my life
I always do my cardio after weights. It's a good feeling. Takes way longer at the gym but I always feel better and I can feel how much healthier my heart is as a result. I make the weight room and my cardio a package deal, it's my routine.
Natural bodybuilder for 20 years...Best shape I was ever in I did sprints at 5 in the morning....Monday thru Friday....20 minute session...sprint 10 seconds..decelerate then walk back to starting spot...1:50....total 2 minute cycle...repeat 10 times... Worked out Monday/Thursday full body cycle workout...40 minutes total. Wednesday/Friday/Sunday ran 3 miles low intensity. End result was single digit bodyfat at 210 pounds...just as strong in the 3 major lifts and much stronger in bodyweight exercises.
This shouldn't even be a concern for anyone not trying to compete. Get gains in both categories to enhance yourself the most possible and your body will thank you.
I can't even begin to explain how many of my friends refuse to ever do any cardio classes cause they truly believe that the only thing in life that matters is purely progressive overload and hypertrophy in the gym
@@peterman8848peole need to learn to stop lifting to be strong and start lifting to be strong for life, joint training, cardio, swimming, and there physic will be a lot better than u think, mobility to a lot of tha
This channel is amazing. I started small, 20 minute weights then Leslie sansone 1 mile walk after. Been doing it for a month and feeling myself getting stronger and breathing better. Feeling optimistic
I find having good cardio made lifting much easier, especially heavier weights. You can also recover faster and potentially take less rest because your heart rate will fall back to normal faster.
He’s just saying do it after lifting. Being drenched in sweat from cardio then going to lifting is really deflating. Doing a nice strength lift then doing cardio feels complete.
@@johnflaherty810 Tbh I think it depends on your prioirities - just do the one you care about more first since you will have the most energy at the beginning. I've done both and I always prefer cardio first when I'm more focused on cardio training, and lifting first when I'm more focused on strength training.

Jeff C. never said that doing cardio will catabolize muscle. It's called a strawman and Nippard isn't fully quoting Jeff C. Go find Jeff C.s full discussion on the topic.
Yeah that's the problem with chosit 5 sec clips, Jeff Nipples tryna start drama. He should at least have linked the full video so we can see what Jeff Cavalier actually said in context. @@Lance_Thorpe_Esq.
@@Mew__Self experimentation is valid. If he's still making good gains, even with running a mile after each session, then I don't see the problem with him sharing his experience here. People really just look for anything they can to talk badly about other people.
I was a runner for five years, which means I used to run 10+ km daily. I have lost lots of muscle during that time. Now I have started gym. Still I do 5-10 min cardio and 1 to 1.5 hrs strength, and now my body has started coming in shape. I must say if you do only cardiovascular exercise, you will definitely lose so much muscle.
Cardio is better for the heart. Helps with stamina, and overall, fun cause gotta go fast. Best athletes in the world combine it all. And they look great too!
@@masonrawls6436 Either run (3 or 5km) with the aim of beating previous time. Bike, row or find a nice big hill to speed march up like you're on war maneuvers.

This week I didn't think things through and did a heavy leg workout immediately before volleyball practice and that was the biggest mistake. My left leg was so overworked, it wouldn't stop trembling and pain kept shooting up my entire leg with every step. That bit of advice to have at least one or two days between is huge.

1 hour of lifting and 1 hour of easy/moderate cycling so far for the past 3 months. Lost 40lbs and kept on increasing my lifting weights every week and muscle definition was starting to show. It can be done people, just need to eat lots of protein 200g a day is what my goal was with 1,800 calories.
The last part of this video is everything. That's why I like Jeff's channel. He'll lay the detailed facts out.... then wrap it up with some tips but finishes with the real point.... lift, sleep, eat. I adjust carbs according to my intensity level.
With this new knowledge, I will still feel better to just separate by lifting day and cardio days. Make me feel more energize and I can do other life stuffs that don't involve exercise.
I always run a mile as fast as I can before full body strength training every gym visit. This is making me reconsider. It gives me incredible endurance.
I've been doing cardio with weights since I started in basically the same way Jeff says and have found I'm stronger, recover quicker, take far lest rest among other things than my friends who don't do cardio.
High intensity plyometrics has been shown to be more beneficial for strength & power development than weightlifting so programme this into leg day!!! I know it is not necessarily c.v. but can be e.g. single leg bounds into tuck jumps tumbles followed by 1-6 minutes skipping for passive recovery or jog/walk!
It depends on how you define conditioning work. Training for a marathon will kill every ounce of gains. Light to moderate cardio is fine. Red shorts Jeff summed it up perfectly.
even if it did hurt my gains a little i mean oh well. i have 0 desire to lift competitively. i just wanna be healthy and confident in my own body. currently on week 4 of lifting weights and i’m absolutely loving it. i’ve never been so motivated before.
Cardio can greatly improve your weightlifting sessions. Ever since I started cycling, I am no longer out of breath after a hard set. In fact, I rarely hit HR Zone 3 after an all out set of squats. I can push my muscle to maximum easier since my cardiovascular fitness is no longer a limiting factor. Do cardio!
I like how you say "probably not" and then completely agree with him. From my understanding what he's saying is "separate your cardio from your lifting" not "don't do cardio at all or you'll lose your gains."
I was about to write something like that, and weird majority here don't saw it. Dude should've used "Depends on the context" instead of "Probably not".
Or just ask a rugby/american football player for their workout routines. These guys are absolutely massive while having the stamina to run around explosively for a long time
I'm with them on this one. Also, I heard Thomas DeLauer say the same thing 8 years ago, and I put it in my workout routine. went from a 400lb fat mess to a 170 clean slate, then to a comfortable high muscle 220.
So yes guys, that thing that we've been doing to get the better version of our bodys since the origin of the humanity (running) is good for u Who could say😅😅
Jeff wasn’t even that wrong, conditioning work with your strength work could be killing your gains, and Jeff even proved Jeff’s point by saying it again in his video.
Doing cardio is sooo underrated. When I started doing cardio and even HIIT workouts. I notice with hyperthropht workouts I recover faster and get better quality sets. Because of my cardiovascular improvement
I usually do more cardio in the summers, running to then do some swimming in a lake after the runs and cut down to 2-3 days a week weightlifting, even did a marathon then when winter comes I cut down on the cardio to just some stairmaster, inclined treadmill walks and up the weightlifting to 4-6 times a week depending on work. I never feel bored of the gym or cardio and I still keep my body fit no matter what time of year
This was actually in response to athleanx taking a jab at Jeff Nippard in one of his latest videos. What athleanx did was distasteful, this was still okay.
I thought you were above taking 4 seconds clips out of context, and basically agreeing with the original content. I guess that’s the popular thing to do for engagement…
I loved watching Jeff. I don't believe him on most of his stuff, whether something is optimal or not. But he still taught me how to move during certain lifts and really helps understand the mind muscle connection and just learning the muscular structure with the markers.
I have progressed to an almost ‘semi-pro’ level with my cardio with biking. My zone 2 is around 300 watts average. I do that constantly throughout the week and still lift six days per week and make great strength and muscle gains.
The fact I watched athlean x when I was a kid and believed him so I literally cut out all forms of running when I was a great cross country athlete just because I was scared of not being able to put on muscle. Now I do both. I do at least 8km 6 days a week with 20km on the weekend with weight training afterwards and I’ve never been bigger
The best if you want to be skinny forever. I used to believe in his advice as i thought he was a guru. This was a mistake, I should have followed actual strength coaches.
@@bostongeorge1970 SKINNY. AthleanX has no idea how to program, and everyone he trains is forever weak. His "athletic" body is simply tren, chin-ups, and good camera work. He even used fake weights to make it look like he is advanced. Ditching him and following actual coaches who know how to program was one of the best things I have done in my fitness journey. But you do you, goodluck
@@bostongeorge1970 Nah, its skinny. AthleanX has no idea how to program, and everyone he trains is forever weak. His "athletic" body is simply tr3n, pull ups, and good camera work. He even had to use faux weights to appear advanced. Ditching him and following actual coaches who know how to program was one of the best things I have done in my lifting journey.
My warm up is this: 1) 10 minutes on the crosstrainer/elliptical, 2) push and pull a sled (around 10 pulls and 10 pushes), 3) short shoulder warm up exercise I saw of squat university 4) if it's leg day then I will also do the 20x3 clamshell, leg raises one at a time while lying down and side leg lifts with the same reps. I have a bad back so I have to feel warmed up enough to hit the weights.
I've implemented moderate to high intensity cardio, 30min Fridays; once a week. I've noticed I've gotten a lot faster, my wind is a lot better, and I feel even better. I've still been making gains in every department. :) Seems like the perfect balance.
@@JT-ow6qj so if the *only* people who *could* be affected know it *won't* affect them, the theory is moot? meaning that the _other_ people who _shouldn't_ worry, and _can't_ be affected...are affected? What exactly is your counter, here?
A lot of runners and HEAVY cardio people worry about it more than mass monsters. People doing 2-3 hours of cardio almost every day see significant loss of muscle.
@@HeadCannonPrimeTell that to rugby players , gymnasts , football players, hockey players, etc... people just train like shit, don't have a good diet and think the cardio is the problem.
Science lifting is fantastic for most people but I tried that. I still keep track of my sets but in order for me to enjoy working out I've realized that I need to do what feels right day. But I have been doing xardio last and it does make a difference.
Combining hypertrophy lifting with long--distance running is damn tough, but I'm enjoying progressing in both directions. Running my first marathon in a week.
This is the first time i feel like the little fella is being unauthentic. If you watched the skinny old fella (I teased them both for equal gains) You would see that’s basically what Cavalier was trying to say. I don’t think these two should go at it. Maybe they can train with each other and agree to disagree?! Similar to CT Fletcher and Jeff… This whole world of shitting on every else is LAME AND HIGH SCHOOLISH..
@@sbtraining1769 even if that is true. I don’t care about that. His education is on sports health and training. He teaches form, nutrition, and recovery. Nothing wrong with that.
I do weight training 3 days every week. But the last week of the month is reserved for 2 days of cardio and 1 day of core focused workouts. This helps me avoid burnout with weight training, burn fat, improve my cardiovascular health & stamina, while returning to weight training with renewed focus
as a primary marathon runner that's been trying to build muscle lately, lifting in the morning and running in afternoon has been the schedule and I have been making beginner gains still.
Idk what to believe so I do what's best for my body. I used to run 30 minutes at 7 mph before my session and then do weight training for an hour to 45 minutes. That started getting harder as I lost around 12 kg (26lbs) within the first 2 months. I started noticing my strength, dropping quiet earlier during my weight training as I started increasing the weights. Now, after 3 months of training, what I adjusted according to my current body and weight is 20 minutes of running at 7mph and then full-blown weight training depending on whatever day it is, and I started noticing a huge difference, I don't gas out anymore during my entire session. I will adjust accordingly as I lose more weight. Idk what I am doing is, right or wrong, but it's been working for me so far.
I can't believe it took long term studies to figure this out.. i figured this out in the first 3 months of weight training in college.. ran 2 miles after lifting every day except leg days.. bulked easy.. just look at military guys who bulk lol. Dudes can sprint and distance run like crazy
Good breathing is very important for me in powerlifting. If i dont take a deep breath i sometimes fail a lift entirely. Cardio is great for this and helps me take shorter rests between training sets.
I always jog for 20 to 30 minutes before weight training. I've been doing this for years, and I never get tired or, like they say, lose energy. Running and jogging have helped me in weight lifting with physical conditioning and endurance, and I'm still growing muscle.
The magic sauce is right at the end - lifting consistently, sleeping well, getting the right nutrition. Lifting consistently is easy, a pleasure even. The other two take a lot of self-discipline (more than I can usually muster 😅)
I have rowed competitively. We would finish up on the Concept 2 rowers first since cardio was the main factor, stretch and then hit the weights. Granted, we were eating LARGE amounts of food to gain muscle mass and maintain our weight between 80-85kgs max. 7-8 hours of sleep, staying hydrated, zero alcohol and just being smart about our schedule.
I'm absolutely on Jeff's side on this one. Jeff doesn't know what he's talking about.

If you don't do cardio, you will probably loss your breath in a rep or two. Cardio helps cycling the blood too which may help you recover faster.

He plays basketball :)
I can't tell if he's series or not wit these out of context AthleanX clips. Like you guys basically agree on the same things in regards to cardio.
I know right :/
Exactly!
Exactly. Everyone likes to clip a statement from cavalier and try to “debunk” it. But i lowkey think nippard was just having fun with that first clip😂
It's because faking a rivalry gets more views and comments.
@@tofuwitzke facts
I usually do more cardio in the summers, running to then do some swimming in a lake after the runs and cut down to 2-3 days a week weightlifting, even did a marathon then when winter comes I cut down on the cardio to just some stairmaster, inclined treadmill walks and up the weightlifting to 4-6 times a week depending on work. I never feel bored of the gym or cardio and I still keep my body fit no matter what time of year
Here from TikTok! Excited for this journey!
Jeff went to the brotha barber shop and got a clean cut geeeeesh 🔥🔥🔥
lols
"As long as you do these three things."
The first point being exactly what Jeff Cavaliere said in the video you clipped.
This was actually in response to athleanx taking a jab at Jeff Nippard in one of his latest videos. What athleanx did was distasteful, this was still okay.
Yeah but how do we get Jeff v Jeff drama without a lack of context?
@@bruvhellnahbut his was just weak in comparison, to be fair 😂
@@bruvhellnah Timestamp? I ain't watching All that
@@bruvhellnahwhat video is that?
I thought you were above taking 4 seconds clips out of context, and basically agreeing with the original content. I guess that’s the popular thing to do for engagement…
Exactly
I loved watching Jeff. I don't believe him on most of his stuff, whether something is optimal or not. But he still taught me how to move during certain lifts and really helps understand the mind muscle connection and just learning the muscular structure with the markers.
I have progressed to an almost ‘semi-pro’ level with my cardio with biking. My zone 2 is around 300 watts average. I do that constantly throughout the week and still lift six days per week and make great strength and muscle gains.
Good Jeff vs Bad Jeff
The fact I watched athlean x when I was a kid and believed him so I literally cut out all forms of running when I was a great cross country athlete just because I was scared of not being able to put on muscle. Now I do both. I do at least 8km 6 days a week with 20km on the weekend with weight training afterwards and I’ve never been bigger
You are much more likeable then the other Jeff.
Another great study playlist, keep it up as long as you got motivation to keep making these
Thank you ! 🙏 - you have settled this debate for me - really helpful
The key is to monitor and adjust as needed
Jeff C, the best without doubt
The best if you want to be skinny forever. I used to believe in his advice as i thought he was a guru. This was a mistake, I should have followed actual strength coaches.
@Teo_live skinny? Nah i would say athletic
@@bostongeorge1970 SKINNY. AthleanX has no idea how to program, and everyone he trains is forever weak. His "athletic" body is simply tren, chin-ups, and good camera work. He even used fake weights to make it look like he is advanced. Ditching him and following actual coaches who know how to program was one of the best things I have done in my fitness journey. But you do you, goodluck
@@bostongeorge1970 Nah, its skinny. AthleanX has no idea how to program, and everyone he trains is forever weak. His "athletic" body is simply tr3n, pull ups, and good camera work. He even had to use faux weights to appear advanced. Ditching him and following actual coaches who know how to program was one of the best things I have done in my lifting journey.
@@Teo_live which one you recommend
You ended up saying the same as the other Jeff though lol.
no he didn't. cavaliere said conditioning/cardio work with lifting will kill gains. nippard said it doesn't with proof. there you have it
@@patootie3529you completely fell for the short clip taken out of context
For a guy who prides himself on research you completely took that out of context and then proceeded to say what Jeff said.
He needs views, every "fitness" internet coach trash him without basis to gain relevance, cavaliere never gets into this mentally ill diss
Lol glad there are some comments along with yours pointing this out. And yes, definitely having Jeff C. will increase engagement and views.
My warm up is this: 1) 10 minutes on the crosstrainer/elliptical, 2) push and pull a sled (around 10 pulls and 10 pushes), 3) short shoulder warm up exercise I saw of squat university 4) if it's leg day then I will also do the 20x3 clamshell, leg raises one at a time while lying down and side leg lifts with the same reps. I have a bad back so I have to feel warmed up enough to hit the weights.
I've implemented moderate to high intensity cardio, 30min Fridays; once a week. I've noticed I've gotten a lot faster, my wind is a lot better, and I feel even better. I've still been making gains in every department. :) Seems like the perfect balance.
The only people who worry about losing muscle doing cardio are the drugged up competitive bodybuilders. NOBODY should worry about this.
drugged up competitive bodybuilders know that cardio doesn't make you lose muscle. So there goes your theory.
@@JT-ow6qj so if the *only* people who *could* be affected know it *won't* affect them,
the theory is moot?
meaning that the _other_ people who _shouldn't_ worry, and _can't_ be affected...are affected?
What exactly is your counter, here?
A lot of runners and HEAVY cardio people worry about it more than mass monsters. People doing 2-3 hours of cardio almost every day see significant loss of muscle.
@@HeadCannonPrimeTell that to rugby players , gymnasts , football players, hockey players, etc... people just train like shit, don't have a good diet and think the cardio is the problem.
@@bradleydavisson Pro bodybuilders do cardio too making the theory moot. Have a good one.
I’ll stick to prioritizing my heart over my ego
Shocking how so few people consider swimming a viable cardio option
it's by far the best one
Last time I went swimming after weight lifting, I started cramping up in my lats and triceps 😂. Don't get that problem with the elliptical.
@@MaxIronsThird I usually do full body workouts.
@@PlayerSkillFTW salts are good that is all
Science lifting is fantastic for most people but I tried that. I still keep track of my sets but in order for me to enjoy working out I've realized that I need to do what feels right day. But I have been doing xardio last and it does make a difference.
Combining hypertrophy lifting with long--distance running is damn tough, but I'm enjoying progressing in both directions. Running my first marathon in a week.
This is the first time i feel like the little fella is being unauthentic.
If you watched the skinny old fella
(I teased them both for equal gains)
You would see that’s basically what Cavalier was trying to say.
I don’t think these two should go at it. Maybe they can train with each other and agree to disagree?!
Similar to CT Fletcher and Jeff…
This whole world of shitting on every else is LAME AND HIGH SCHOOLISH..
Remember when Jeff(athlean x) used fake weights and lied about it?
@@sbtraining1769 even if that is true. I don’t care about that. His education is on sports health and training.
He teaches form, nutrition, and recovery. Nothing wrong with that.
@@ZachOlson-lq4lwhe did but it really didn’t matter . Every bit of advice he gave in that video was solid
I do weight training 3 days every week. But the last week of the month is reserved for 2 days of cardio and 1 day of core focused workouts. This helps me avoid burnout with weight training, burn fat, improve my cardiovascular health & stamina, while returning to weight training with renewed focus
as a primary marathon runner that's been trying to build muscle lately, lifting in the morning and running in afternoon has been the schedule and I have been making beginner gains still.
I'm a collegiate rower, and from experience you can do a LOT of cardio before it starts noticeably impacting strength. Excluding being generally tired
Jeff is totally right on this one.... I just can't beleve what Jeff is saying!!! You've got to get it together man!
*Ronnie Coleman voice* everybody wanna be an expert
But nobody wanna do that heavy ass research
Idk what to believe so I do what's best for my body.
I used to run 30 minutes at 7 mph before my session and then do weight training for an hour to 45 minutes. That started getting harder as I lost around 12 kg (26lbs) within the first 2 months.
I started noticing my strength, dropping quiet earlier during my weight training as I started increasing the weights.
Now, after 3 months of training, what I adjusted according to my current body and weight is
20 minutes of running at 7mph and then full-blown weight training depending on whatever day it is, and I started noticing a huge difference, I don't gas out anymore during my entire session. I will adjust accordingly as I lose more weight.
Idk what I am doing is, right or wrong, but it's been working for me so far.
I always like the mental aspects of physical goals
We all should aim for balance.
Focusing on strength without endurance is bad, so as the opposite
you gained a subscriber who is trying to gain some muscles in this summer break
I can't believe it took long term studies to figure this out.. i figured this out in the first 3 months of weight training in college.. ran 2 miles after lifting every day except leg days.. bulked easy.. just look at military guys who bulk lol. Dudes can sprint and distance run like crazy
Finally some great information on the topic, thank you!
Cardio helps with sleep too. I run 30 minutes twice a week ( along with cycling and elliptical)and it has helped improve my mental health and sleep.
Good breathing is very important for me in powerlifting. If i dont take a deep breath i sometimes fail a lift entirely. Cardio is great for this and helps me take shorter rests between training sets.
A big thanks, adjusting to cardio after weights.
Cardio is so important, so this is a no brainer, even if it cost some muscle
I always jog for 20 to 30 minutes before weight training. I've been doing this for years, and I never get tired or, like they say, lose energy. Running and jogging have helped me in weight lifting with physical conditioning and endurance, and I'm still growing muscle.
I do steady state cardio before lifting & after. Feels great and it’s helping me lose fat. ❤
Solid ass advice. I have always seen a consistent maintenance of strength through a cut. While doing cardio 6 days per week and lifting 5 days
The magic sauce is right at the end -
lifting consistently, sleeping well, getting the right nutrition. Lifting consistently is easy, a pleasure even. The other two take a lot of self-discipline (more than I can usually muster 😅)
I have rowed competitively. We would finish up on the Concept 2 rowers first since cardio was the main factor, stretch and then hit the weights. Granted, we were eating LARGE amounts of food to gain muscle mass and maintain our weight between 80-85kgs max. 7-8 hours of sleep, staying hydrated, zero alcohol and just being smart about our schedule.
