If cardio is more than just a basic warmup, do it after weight training.
Otherwise your output lifting won't be as good as you'll be more tired and as well studies show that you're more prone to injury lifting heavy after heavy cardio.
>you'll be more tired
in the same vein, being more tired for weight lifting isn't a bad thing since progressive failure can be achieved faster. The only risk would be deteriorating form which has the potential for injury.

No Cardio or HIIT before lifting you do that AFTER LIFTING GODDAMMIT.
Actually dont do HIIT at all it will kill your gains in the long run.
HIIT is way better than normal cardio. just do it after lifting, or on a rest day. HIIT will still give you all the cardiovascular benefits of cardio without killing your gains overall.
Yes it will impact your gains.
Not even because “you will have less energy for lifting” even though that is true. You will also get less benefit from the cardio than if it’s on it’s own… If you really want to min-max…
The two are directly counter-active to each other.
If you want to gain strength but avoid gaining muscle then it’s perfect to combine and do cardio either before or after lifting (more ideally after).
If you want to do both the same day but still get hypertrophy then separate by at least 6 hours, good meal, and rest.
If it’s “HIIT” where it’s like 5 rounds of short duration high effort hill sprints, barbell complexes, etc. then it probably doesn’t have as much impact (but you also won’t make as much cardio gains because the strength/hypertrophy training will impact the cardio gains). I’d guess if it’s much longer like 10 minutes plus then it will start to have more of a negative impact.
Also if you’re doing honest max effort HIIT pretty much past failure… you only need once a week or it’s going to be really hard to recover from. Even athletes in running etc will only do like 20% of their training in that max effort zone.

damn, what if there's several hours between both training sessions ie i do hiit cardio at 12 pm and do weights at 8 pm

Yeah dagr
SEXOOOOOOOOOOOO
I raise by one sexxxxooooo

yeah, do your lifts first. then half-ass your way through some HIIT with whatever is left in the tank.

Look be careful with too hard cardio,It can fuck you Up if done for too long,I know It first hand.
Lurking on IST gave me access to unlimited coomer bait
sauce?
that fucking smile
sauce now
Cardio should come at the end of your workout.
cardio during rest days, yay or nay?

Cardio = ampk gains pathway
Lifting = mTor gains pathway

you'll probably fuck up your joints if you did real HIIT before training cardio in steady state or lower intensity intervals for several months.
i got some high intensity cardio for ya 😉
