Eric Roberts argues cardio after weights beats cardio before. Heavy lifts need full energy reserves, and cardio fatigue compromises form and injury risk. Daily steps handle cardio; only weights build muscle.

Oh my, oh my, shut the fuck up. Doing cardio before your workout negatively impacts losing fat and building muscle, and here's why. Reason 1, you burn through your energy tank on cardio first. That means when it's time to lift, you can't push as hard or as heavy, and less strength equals less muscle growth. Reason 2, your muscles are already tired because cardio fatigues them before the real work This means you increase your risk of injury because your form will suffer. And if you get hurt, nobody's losing fat or building muscle. And reason number 3, you're prioritizing the wrong thing. You can get your cardio through daily steps, but you can't replicate weightlifting any way else. So focus on lifting weights first, and if you have time after, you can do cardio then. Anything more than 10 minutes of cardio should be done after a workout or on a rest day.
