To all the people questioning my Strength before cardio suggestion, this was a tip I received from my cousin, who is a biologist and works out 3 - 4 times a week. He's looked cut for years. But, I just did a cursory look on google because so many people where questioning it. I'm not sure if I can post links here but https://blog.fitbit.com/cardio-or-weights-first/ was the second site I checked and was saying the same thing as the first site I checked.

I don't think anyone is questioning doing strength before cardio. People who lift heavy typically do it this way. It was the comment on blood flow to the torn muscles people were questioning.

Personally, I do my strength and cardio on different days, but on the rare occasion I have to do them the same day, I always do strength before cardio.

I regards to the blood flow, the gist of it is torn muscles require nutrients to grow and rushing those nutrients through the body right after the muscles are torn is very beneficial.

First, that's one theory and certainly a popular one, but that's going to happen with the microtears/stretching regardless of what one does afterwards.. It's just how the body works.

Is there research that demonstrates this is a more effective way to grow muscle or is this one of those "it just makes sense based on how I imagine it would work" assertions?

Nuts and seeds are about double the calories by weight than either protein and carbs. If you are tossing them in by the handfuls you could be eating a lot more than you thought.

I trust my cousin, who works at a biology lab at the University of Manitoba when tells me anything regarding the human body. He's such a perfectionist that I've heard my family mention the possibility of him having un-diagnosed Asperger's. I wouldn't trust anyone more than him on the subject. So, no, it's not my opinion, it's just the knowledge that I have been given from as a trusted a resource that I know...way more trustworthy than anything on the internet (including this comment lol). Feel free to do whatever research you need to do.

It's not your opinion, it's your cousin's opinion (which may or may not be based on research).

Before you give others advice, you want a more solid basis than "My cousin says so."

Having (diagnosed or not) Asperger's doesn't make one an expert. I'm not even sure what that has to do with the subject.

Snopes is full of urban legends confirmed by somebody’s cousin. It’s a logical fallacy called “appeal to authority”.

Depends where one’s cousin is from if there’s even a hint that they could be an authority....

(I know you aren’t suggesting it I’m just amused at some of my back woods cousins being considered authorities on anything other than moonshine and taxidermy)

jgnatca

If I have a taxidermy question I know who to ask!

He has a Bachelor of Science and runs the lab he is in. There is an opinion. Then there is a scientist explaining the facts of life. But I digress. You have no reason to trust me, I would think less of you if you did. I will continue to benefit from his knowledge as I continue this life, but as I stated, do your own research. I went to an scientist, happened to be a relative...maybe I should have left the relative part out. Some of you are having a tough time with this one lol not my intention. Just go ask someone who paid a lot of money to know the difference between internet BS and knowledge.

Do your own research and come back knowledge instead of indignation. While I was very clear that I was not an authority, I didn't pull my info from a random website or magazine either. I took time out of my life to sit and learn. But I'm sure the internet has all your answers for you. Keep it classy, kids.

I'd have to see the science behind this before I can buy into it. Show us some research

How long do you think it takes of being consistently in the gym to notice some form of visual result?? I’ve been going anywhere from 4-6 days a week from 6-7am since mid January. I always start with cardio and end with strength training. If anything my weight on the scale has gone UP though my body composition has changed (body fat % down and muscle % is up). The problem is I’m not SEEING the changes and I’m getting frustrated with it. I know my body is changing for the better but damnittttt I want to SEE IT already!! How long did it take you to really see the changes you work so hard for?? I’m not even close to giving up but I need some reassurance that this is normal or something. I dunno, I just need some fkng positivity cuz I’m feeling defeated after weighing in today.

1 month isn't long enough.

If you’re doing this as a lifestyle, in other words, not trying to get in shape and/or lose weight for a wedding or something then you need to look at this as a life long pursuit. A pursuit of taking care of the only body you’ve been given. I strongly recommend you take photos of yourself at all angles. Then take photos every month or at least every 90 days in the same outfit. It’s so motivating because if you are eating at a deficit and working out, you WILL see a difference. Trust me.
