Title: What form of cardio(if any) is compatible with power/olympiclifting
Post by: personman on April 28, 2011, 07:00:13 am

Hi all, I am wondering if cardio(and of what sort) is compatible with power/olympiclifting. Currently I am walking 30 minutes per day at a brisk pace but have stumbled upon some information regarding tabata/HIIT training that I had not known about previously. I am wondering if there are any knowledgeable folk out there who know what variety of cardio works best with the above styles of weight/strength training? I could always use soem improvement and avoidance of the demon cortisol in massive amounts. Any feedback would be a help.

I would say sprints and sprints up a hill would be compatible with weightlifting.

here are some things I do that involve cardio and are great for me with strength training and warmups.

box jumps
jump rope
rowing machine
burpees
air squats/hindu squats
bear crawls
lunges
wheelbarrow walk
large diameter rope work (whipping a long heavy rope held standing)
tabata intervals
shuttle runs, 500m, 1k

much of this is done at/in-line-with cross-fit Olympic lifting
