Fasted Cardio and Fat Loss – Q&A
This is probably one of the most commonly asked questions which is why it’s worth addressing. It’s worth keeping in mind that this idea usually comes out of the bodybuilding subculture, usually contest bodybuilders who, assuming their diet is working properly, are getting towards the low-end of body fat levels. And the short-answer to your question is that the body fat of the person is going to be the main determinant of whether doing cardio fasted in the morning is important or not.
Overtraining, Overreaching and all the Rest Part 8
Ok, this is going to be long but I’m determined to wrap this up today so I can write about some other stuff on Friday. Today I want to look at some of the different methods that have been used in an attempt to monitor and/or diagnose overtraining to catch it before it happens and then finish up by looking at what to do if overtraining occurs (even if you did your best to prevent it).

Overtraining, Overeaching and all the Rest Part 7
What I want to do to finish up today is to first look at some ways to monitor for signs of overtraining (to stop problems before they start), with my focus being on methods that are reasonably easy to administer. That is to say, while the ultimate determination of overtraining is a drop in performance, it’s always better to stop problems before they start then try to fix them after they happen. Finally, in what may rather surprisingly be the shortest part of the whole series, I’ll talk about what to do to ‘fix’ overtraining after it’s happened.
