I am about to start StrongLifts 5x5 Beginner this Monday.
Switching from another program I have been doing for a couple of months.
Doing StrongLifts 5x5 with 50% weight of the 1RM I have accomplished so far.
I like to run outside 1st thing in the morning.
Will it deter my progress if I run 1st thing in the morning then do the Lifting 1-2 hours after Breakfast?
My typical day usually goes like this.
- ~7-8am = Wakeup
~7:30-8:30 = Cardio run outside (Always on empty stomach so I don't get cramps or feel nauseous while running.)
~8:30-9:30 = Breakfast
~10:30-11 = Lift
Going to start at 3x30mins and work myself to 4x50mins as per advised for cutting.
I actually kinda enjoy running so debating on running 5days a week .
My Lifting days will be Monday, Wedneday and Friday.
Plan to run outside from Monday to Friday and Rest fully on weekends.
I used to do HIIT Cardio for 20mins during my 2 Off Days (Tuesday & Thursday), and read that I should not do that with this program
I really did enjoy the HIIT Cardio during my 2 Off Days and the light jog a in the morning and wondering if by doing the StrongLift 5x5 I really have to change what I have been used to doing?
