Does cardio kill gains?

[Vrilltrum27]

Everyday I go to the gym and get a workout in, following my workout I do 30 minutes of incline cardio set at 2.5 speed and 14 incline because it helps me lose fat but is this killing my gains?

Please let me know.

Doubt it, if you're really worried you could do cardio earlier or later in the day but thats super annoying

I have no words for such stupid statements. Heart is a muscle, only way to train it is to do cardio. It helps with the blood flow and impacts the quality of your workout as your muscles need this.

Cardio always at the end of a workout. Zone II if possible. 30 mins of 2.5 at 14 incline is laughable. Try running.

cardio either at a seperate time from lifting or low intensity pre training, the last thing you want to do after a workout is cardio. You want to eat and rest. Cardio is required tho and honestly more beneficial if you just get atleast 30 min daily fasted in the morning

also dont listen to fucking trueogregymcel, walking at masx incline 2.5-3.5 speed is literally the ideal cardio for gains and longevity, high intensity is just more stress on your cns

If you even had to question that that’s bad. Cardio doesn’t fucking kill gains if anything it helps because the process makes you sweat helping with water retention making you appear more leaned out and thus more visible muscles but that’s just appearance. There’s no physical muscle loss from cardio.
