I ask because i have heard both sides of the cardio before or after argument. The testosterone detail is new to me. Like I said, I am not looking to get huge, just add some very lean long muscle to look good. Think Ryan Gosling instead of Arnold Schwarzeneggar.
The main reason I would say to do weights before cardio is you can work the muscles harder. After cardio you are fatigued effecting the amount of weights and reps you can do. I have tried cardio both ways and after has always been best for me.
