Cardio, Weights, when?

[Hearnsz]

Sorry if I'm being a bit sceptic but I've been hearing many opposite things now...

So 1 and a half hour weight training followed by 20min of intense interval cardio is good for me? I won't burn any muscles?

Can people who agree please confirm this and people who disagree please correct me!

I agree with that. I would probably keep the weigth training to 1 hour. I can do a full routine that some of my training partners spend 1½ hours in 1 hour. They could too, it's just a matter of taking care of business while you're there.

Weights make you slow, but I read in men's Health if you want to do it for fitness than its better to do it BEFORE cardio. They say weights will boost your energy to do cardio, but cardio will **** up your weights session. For boxing, heavy weights will make you slow and heavy, you should do them light or not at all.

I know it is good to do sprints after leg strength . I done a bodyweight circut once with squat jumps and burpees and then went for a couple of 400m sprint and felt alot more explosive than normal .It could be good for the legs .

Well try both ways out and see which way you think will help you the most in the ring. For example hit the weights then do your 45 minute run or whatever it is you wish to do for your longer less intense cardio for a couple weeks.

Then switch it up for the next couple of weeks. The conditioning I was talking about earlier is tough so you might want to do the conditioning in the morning then hit the weights in the evening so you can recover throughout the day. I found I can recover pretty fast from conditioning like 8 hours and Im good to go again. I'll give you a few routines to try if you like.
