    I am totally wondering the same thing. I started SL and right now I can handle doing cardio afterwards but I'm pretty sure that will change as the weight goes up....wish you had some more responses!

    I don't know what stronglifts is but I'm doing Nautilus, if that's anything similar you're welcome to ask me anything about it.

    I usually don't do cardio on leg days. I do it afterwards and it's only for 15-20 minutes.

    I am currently doing SL and cardio the same day.

    I run at 60% heart rate level for 3 miles every morning 5AM. Since I don't excert myself, I am able to do my SL 2x a week in the evening.

    On days were I will do either a long run (5-7 miles) or long hike (3hours+), I will not do SLs.

    My trainer is watching me to make sure I don't get injured and I do listen to my body. So far my body is taking to it very well.

    Who knows I might not do cardio as my weight increases.
