Strength 101 Ep. 27 | Weights or Cardio First? The Answer.

In this solo episode of Strength 101, Nick breaks down one of the most common gym questions: should you do cardio or weight training first? Using simple analogies, Nick explains why the answer always comes down to your goals.If building muscle and strength is your priority, lifting should come first while you’re fresh. If running, rowing, or endurance is your main goal, lead with cardio. And if your only focus is weight loss? It doesn’t matter—the results will come from nutrition, not from whether you log treadmill miles before or after your lifts.This episode highlights why understanding energy budgets, progressive overload, and recovery thresholds is crucial if you want to see real progress. Whether you’re chasing a faster 5K, a stronger bench press, or just better overall fitness, knowing how to order your training could be the key to unlocking your results.https://www.strengthacademyrf.comConnect with us!➡︎ IG: / https://www.instagram.com/strengthacademyrf?igsh=MWlsOHZoaWM2NDdkbg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr➡︎ Tik Tok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@strength101podcast?_t=ZP-8uz54FwRds6&_r=1⚡️FREE CLASS: Sign up for a FREE class at our gym here: ➡︎ https://strengthacademy.pushpress.com/landing/plans/plan_3b8de81cc61fb7/login⚡️BODY COMPOSITION PROGRAM: Check out our body composition program here:➡︎ https://www.strengthacademy101.com⚡️OUR APP: Check out our app here:➡︎ https://coach.everfit.io/package/UA723379Build muscle and strength from your local or home gym with our flagship Iron Hour program or request a personalized program that fits your specific goals.
