Before you suggest I wasn't recovered from the exercise I did the previous day remember this. I did one single set of pullups to concentric-only failure (no eccentric failure, rested 24 hours and came back to repeat this single set (except this time immediately preceded by a bout of conditioning work - which is currently a popular programming protocol. In any healthy individual, this single set would not prevent you from being able to repeat another single set a day later. In fact, most anybody with any training experience at all could reproduce another set to failure just MINUTES after completing the last one! That is what would occur in a normal workout. So no, a lack of recovery from the previous day is not in play here. Nor is the fact that I didn't rest between jumps and pullups from a muscle recovery standpoint. The lats did nothing during the jumps of course. What is in play here is the limitation of blood borne resources caused by the activity of the conditioning on the muscles of the legs leaving less of an ability in the lats to perform to their maximum because of their lack of these same resources. Strength gains will suffer if trained this way. Overall athleticism is improved.

I-ve been doing it so wrong. I would do and hour on the bike everyday then do my strength training afterwards and I-ve noticed quicker fatigue. There-s times where I couldn-t finish a workout because I was so exhausted from doing my cardio that I would have to drop the weight in order to get my 8-12 reps. I-m trying to get that lean look but even with dieting I feel zero gain and dehydration. I-m just going to limit my cardio and focus more time on weight lifting. A lot of people don-t realize that you can turn your body fat into muscle.

I would suggest doing aerobic endurance and strength training completely seperate from each other, strength first, then later on aerobic endurance, we animals are meant to expend energy throughout the day, and doing everything in one go is impractical, you don't know what day you have to do this intense energy expenditure for whatever reason, don't rely on adrenaline alone to keep you going in a dangerous situation, it's not an action movie, you have to get your hands in the dirt and keep them there for a while sometimes.

Don't let anybody tell you cardio is useless and not important like lifting weights. Cardio is far more important not just for fat loss but for a stronger immune system a stronger heart better endurance, lower blood pressure lower risk of cancer. Healthy supple blood vessels, better skin better digestion health the list is endless. So if any fitness instructor tells you cardio eats at muscle or weights is superior and you shouldn't do it tell them to get stuffed.

I used to do cardio prior to the strength part. That was fully exhausted. One day for a reason I started the strength part first and I saw the miracle! I was able to do way more than I expected. Now did google and found that it's okay if I do like that as a beginner. Now I do strength part first then do a little cardio then fresh up with light touch of strength. It goes super well now.

Functional strength. Doesnt that involve cardio and strength at the same time, such as pushing a wheel barrel, which is what made me strong. Or carrying heavy awkward objects over rough terrain, which is a dangerous workout, but what do you think about that, the fact I think cardio is happening at the same time when your using your strength functionally.

This happened me once and i never tried it again.
I did a few Fat burn HIIT workouts after warmup before chest, delts, triceps training. I can't barely lift the dumbbells i used to lift. I didn't complete the program because i'm so fatigue to do workouts. The day i found out no fat burn cardios before or after weight training.

I do cardio once a week for 1h, because I am sort of skinny fat and I do not wanna breath like I am dying for walking a hill. Rest of the days I do around 40 min - 1h dumbbells for upper body with alternating rest days when I feel it, somedays I feel fatique or tired mentally and I am trying to keep it to 5 days of activity.

2 major problems with this video
1) doing pull-ups again very next day without giving your body (Lats) enough time to recover will definitely have a effect on the second day.
2) you didn-t give your self enough time to recover after cardio. That-s obviously gonna effect your pull ups if you attempt it immediately.

Of course if you do cardio before strength training, you-re not going to be as strong. It-s common sense. As long as you keep to your macros and eat good nutritious foods, you will be set. Cardio does not kill your gains. You just have to put in as much as you put out. Maybe a little less in if you want to lose weight.
