Flex, I love that incline treadmill idea! 🔥 I do it during my study breaks, and it helps me stay productive while prepping for exams. Multitasking cardio for the win! 📚

So cool to hear everyone’s tips! 💕 Let’s talk timing. Do you prefer doing cardio before or after lifting? Or maybe fasted in the morning?

I’m old-school and stick to fasted cardio during cuts. Nothing crazy—just a 20-minute jog before breakfast. 🏃‍♂️ But on heavy lifting days, I skip it to save energy for the weights.

@Stronghold42, I tried fasted HIIT once and nearly passed out. 😅 Now I grab a light snack, like a banana 🍌, and do cardio after lifting. Works better for me.

@IronGuru88, keeping it short is key, especially during bulking. I do 15-20 minutes of LISS twice a week. Keeps my heart healthy and doesn’t interfere with gains. 💪

Don’t forget cardio for performance. My deadlift stamina improved when I added endurance work. Anyone else noticed the same? 💪

Rogue, absolutely! Farmer’s carries and sled pushes have done wonders for my endurance. My heavy lifting sessions feel way easier now. 💥

@SteelTitan9, that sounds awesome! I don’t have access to sleds, though. Any good alternatives?

Maven, try sandbag carries. 🪨 Just grab a heavy bag and walk as far as you can. It’s cheap, effective, and brutal for conditioning and grip strength.

Love that tip, @FlexChampion! Ladies, don’t shy away from cardio. It won’t “kill your gains.” I lift heavy AND do cardio—it’s the best for staying lean. 💃
