There's a lot of debate about doing any sort of aerobic exercise when you're training for strength. I've even heard some say not to run to the car because it could be so catabolic to your muscle size and strength. Will it kill your gains? Is it as bad as some people make it out to be? The answer is, it depends. While cardio can reduce muscle size and strength, there are a lot of benefits to performing concurrent training (Aerobic exercise and strength exercise in one program). The caveat is that there are certain factors to make sure you aren't limiting your adaptions. Check out the latest episode for more on why you may want to include aerobic exercise in your strength program and how to include it within your program.
