I'm glad you included the word 'assume'.

[i$e]

dead @ banging on about unessential factors like cardio then suggesting to lift an 'easy weight'.

for every 2 pages of solid info there's always one dumb post that sets everything back a few steps

because it general bullshit.

I lift a whole lot.

I don't need to do cardio.

Different things work for different people.

I do between 8 - 15 reps for some things.

I used to be fat, now I'm shredded.

I eat what I want and still lose weight.

Like reading a page out of Women's health. if it is true, I'd still be an asshole out of jealousy then.

I'm debating with myself on whether I should do cardio for 20 minutes after a weight lifting section or do it on a rest/non-lifting day day.

Depends if you're serious about it or not. If you're half-assing, do cardio and lifting at the same session. If you're serious about it, lift at one time and do cardio at another. I certainly wouldn't go for PRs on the lifts after I've been exhausted running for an hour, and I wouldn't run as long as I could after I did heavy dls/squats either. Doing Cardio and lifting at the same day isn't bad, doing both at the same time will make both worse though.

If I ever do cardio on the same day as lifting, I'd 100% do it after.

Optimal is to do it on non-lifting days.

You can do 100% within a 12 hours interval. Not leg day though.

Anyway, I'd rather do both at maximum capacity than half-assing both. Good luck in emptying your glycogen storage and burning muscle wishes in 2012. I'd rather go to the gym and actually get results instead of wasting my time and returning weaker than I was before (not pointed at you i$e).

I never do any cardio on a weights day.

Foot is still playing up heaps. My left ankle was the one that was hurting at the start of the season but now that its sweet (or rather, not painful) my right foot is playing up. Should stop bowling at training, its a killer.

I don't see why. I'm not saying you have to do them, but saying "o well I just lifted weights so I can't run on evening" seems like a pretty bad excuse. Now If you do heavy cardio three days a week, the days when you don't lift you get a pass, but I know a lot of lazy people who will use lifting as an excuse for non cardio-ing so I'm not sure what you're implying. You can do both in a week tbh. If you're a heavy lifter then gjdm, but for everyone else, still get your cardio in check.

[i$e]

I pretty much always advocate heavy lifting unless supplied with info to suggest it's not possible.

Anyway, I don't do cardio because it's a non-essential factor to my goals. Just saying, IF I were to do it on my lifting days, I'd do it after lifting, not before. Obv you can do whatever you want though and nobody is saying you can't do them both in the same day.
