I am working out...
1. to build muscle
2. lose fat from my gut
My current plan is to focus on a particular muscle group each day I do weight training. My weights workout schedule is roughly like this:
Monday - Chest
Wednesday - Legs
Friday - Back/Arms
Sunday - Shoulders
Not necessarily only on those days, but that's a rough sample of a week. It's mostly every other day I switch to a different muscle group.
I normally have protein after each workout with weights, and I'm making pretty good progress so far. I'm 6'4" about 185 or so. I want to build muscle everywhere. And cut fat everywhere, hopefully with the result of losing my gut along the way.
My question is this:
Has anyone experimented with early morning pre-breakfast cardio workouts? I have heard conflicting reports. Some say it will be counterproductive to your muscle building to do cardio like this. Others say it's the best way to cut fat and won't effect your muscle building program.
Also, is it a good idea to not eat for an hour after cardio as opposed to getting protein immediately after a weight training workout?
