All aerobic exercise will have some effect on building muscle, but as long as you don’t overdo it, you shouldn’t worry about losing muscle. It's a fact that muscle proteins are broken down and used for energy during aerobic exercise. But you are constantly breaking down and rebuilding muscle tissue anyway. This process is called "protein turnover" and it’s a daily fact of life. Your goal is to tip the scales slightly in favor of increasing the anabolic side and reducing the catabolic side just enough so you stay anabolic and you gain or at least maintain muscle.

I'll put more to this later ... Fern and I are on our way to see the Flyer's vs. the Islanders.
I use AM fasted cardio everytime I "lean-out" for summer ... and it is also used by most of my bodybuilding buddies who are getting ready to compete.
It works ... |
