What you are saying is anecdotal: I've seen people slightly impaired and people actually performing better ( this doesnt mean nothing ). My perspective was strictly on molecular biology level and what objectively happens in the muscle tissue of everyone. | |

Based on my experience in working with people, they cannot hit the same lift numbers if they do cardio followed by barbell. Not to discredit your well-explained point, but there may also be more basic psychological/energy-reserves issue at play for some. | |
| Sep 5, 2016 at 6:55 | comment | added | Liv | @JJosaur this is actually wrong. First of all "30min" and "SS cardio" are just arbitrary. You didnt contextualize the two measures. Cardio is a low intesity exercise that does not influence energy systems as phospagens at a critical point expecially if executed at low intensities. Doing as you say is detrimental, brother. It depends on molecular signaling. I can reference that if you want, as I did on my claim. | |

Less power expended during the barbell routine would lead to slightly less gain than if he did barbell first, followed by cardio. | |
