Really that seems weird? I thought that was pretty common to feel like weights suck but cardio isn't too bad. I understand how it could be either the other way though.

I find jogging pretty cathartic, er, whatever. It makes me feel good. Weights just make me feel weak as fuck (because I am).

Cardio is a pain in the ass, weights are good fun.

weights own

i enjoy my hiit boxing for cardio but if i had to run or cycle id have like 0 motivation

busting out a new deadlift PR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 30 mins of jogging

Damn that is crazy.

I break my cardio and weights up into two separate sessions. I found that my weight lifting suffered when I did it right after cardio, as I go pretty hard when I do it. Once I realized this I do cardio not long after I wake up, so I have the most energy. Then later on in the day I'll do weights. But as of late I haven't really done my usual cardio shit because I've been training BJJ a lot lately and that shit is exhausting. My grip strength since starting though has improved considerably.

Here's a tip: Don't think you're Rampage Jackson, because you aren't. I got caught in a Triangle yesterday and thought it would be cute to lift him up and slam him to try and get out of it. I got him up and slammed him, but on the way down I bit my tongue and now it's swollen as fuck and I had to tap anyway or go to sleep. Learn from me, kids.

And Rush, I know you're going to have some joke about me getting caught in a Triangle and Chael, so have at it.

Haha thanks for the tip. I've read on a weight lifting forum that cardio is really bad to mix with weightlifting because of muscle recovery times. Just something to consider since you mentioned cardio hurts your workout afterwards.

That's what I thought too. So this post on the other site really confused me. Pretty sure I was reading it correctly when they were saying you don't really need cardio at all. But I don't know about all this.

nah, i've been caught in a bunch of armbars myself. Only from fighting friends though, i should get some proper BJJ training though.

Only way i can get motivated to do cardio is if i set myself a goal, like my 1km row, bike and cross trainer. Boxing is fun though, i have a bag at home that i use.

And yeah, reaching a new max lift is better than running.
