cardio/workout shake question

[phatkid77]

i have been implementing INTRAWORKOUT shakes (50pro 75-100malto), then 30mins post workout eat a meal... when should i do cardio IF i am doing it at the gym, normally i would of done cardio after THEN PWO shake, but since im drinking it DURING, im thinking cardio before?? i want to retain the most amount of muscle.... have a newborn, so getting out 2x a day not always practical.

also, i was thinking of doing 10gm BCAA either A; before workout, or in my workout shake... what would u recommend?
i was going to add 6-10gm leucine, or should i do it AFTER or BEFORE??

and on non-training days, i was going to dissolve 10-15gms BCAA in my 1.5 litre of water to sip all day??

thoughts are appreciated..

I always weight train, then do my 30 min cardio and right when im done i drink my shake. This works well for me. I hate having a shake in my stomach then doing cardio.

thats what i used to do, but have read good things with having your shake during your workout, so unsure what to do with the cardio,..

well if your drinking carbs during your workout it should be saved for a mass gaining stage.... so cardio after a workout wouldnt be optimal during this time. If your goal is fat loss then i would just skip the shake or do cardio on off days only or a different time(but you said thats not happening because of the newborn).... what you could do is just have BCAA's during a workout and do cardio after and still get the fat burning effects.

I personally would alter your shake and have 60 grams of WMS and 15-20 BCAA's/Leucine during. If you like or want to give the intra workout shake a go.

100 grams of malto and 50 grams of whey during a workout seems a bit much for me IMO.

I'd cramp like hell trying to do cardio with a post-workout shake in my stomach.
