Some simple tips to avoid the 'intereference effect'

When we do cardio (longer than 2 mins, huffy puffy exercise) our bodies produce a range of hormones which:

➡️ Increase mitochondria in our cells (like little batteries that run off fats)

➡️ Increase capacity and strength of our heart and lungs

➡️ Increase the number of blood capilliaries to the working muscles

When we do weights (body weight included, grinding strength work, explosive work, short efforts to a hard intensity) our bodies produce a range of hormones which:

🔴 Increase the sugar storage within our muscles

🔴 Increase the density and length of our muscle fibres

🔴 Increase the number of nervous system connections to the muscles

The cardio hormones are like parents, they can shut down the weights hormones which are like kids. Kids tell parents what to do. No matter the order of the exercise, if you do them too close (weights and cardio, or cardio and weights), the parent shuts down the kid.

The cardio hormones reduce the effectiveness of the weights hormones.

If you're trying to get strong, keep your training 8h apart.
