Doing cardio before your lifting session

Cardio is crucial to any mans workout plan, but it can be detrimental when done at the wrong time. Completing a 30 minute jog before a set of heavy squats may increase your heart rate and act as a warm up, but by the time you get under the bar youll be fatigued which can lead to poor form or worse, potential injury. Instead, get your form intensive lifting session done first, and then hit the cardio area.
