agreed.
although, I don't think I'd do squats and stairmaster in the same day.

Always do your lifting before any cardio.
What's the reason behind this? I'm not doubting you, I am genuinely curious.

As runforme Said-doing cardio after a leg day in general basically sucks, I usually do it after an upper body day.

Wouldn't the inverse be true as well?

Good read, thanks for the link. It sounds like I should start mixing in some interval training into my cardio routine.
Who else here has an interval training routine?

30 minute sprint?
I said it can, but not always ...it depends. Ive done plenty of cardio incl sprints and then lifted afterwards just fine. if you are fueled enough and in decent enough shape you can manage it. i don't care who you are. if you do 30 minutes of cardio at an intensity proportionate to the shape you're in then your lifting will be affected afterwards. I see what you're saying, and I think you're right, but I do not believe the impact is as huge as some people believe. For me, by the time I cooled down sufficiently from cardio and started my lifting, my heart rate was nearly completely recovered. I don't think affected my development at all: you can do whatever you want. i used to run to the gym, workout, run home. i found that my lifts suffered as a result so i started doing my cardio in the gym after my workout. i am able to have just as hard a cardio session if i do it before or after lifting. i am not able to do the inverse. all things being equal, if you're going to be doing both anyway why would you not want to lift first?
I do lift first right now, because my schedule allows it. I'm just saying that I didn't find it to be a hinderance to progress to lift afterward.
