Hey I’m 16 years old.
I heard that lifting after cardio isn’t the best option and that it can catobolize muscle.
But during the school year, I have no choice but to play basketball/cardio before I can do any other type of training.
But what about push ups, ab work, and non-weighted leg excercises(bodyweight squats, riding bike, running hills).
Say I play 2-3 hours of basketball and some HIIT. Then 10 minutes later I do some bodyweight lower body excercises, do 50 push ups, and some ab stuff. And then I’ll drink a protein shake afterwards.
Or say I play a few hours of intense basketball. Then 10 minutes later I ride a bike up a hill to build leg strength, and then do some ab work.
I know I’ve kind of asked this question before, but that was about weight lifting. I figured this isn’t as intense as weightlifting so there is probably a difference.
Would that be okay? Would there be any muscle catobolizing?
