Does jogging make you unable to gain muscles?

Asked by elhaha1001 (383points) March 15th, 2012

So I have heard from some friends that I wouldn’t be able to gain muscles if I jog in the morning.. is that true?

I’m just 20 years old. I just started hitting the gym recently to gain some muscles but at the same time I still jog in the morning. I go jogging 3 times a week in the morning (like monday, wednesday, friday) and hit the gym the next day (tuesday, thursday, saturday).
I used to jog for an hour but now I reduce the time to 45 minutes.

my goal is just to be well rounded (not being a bodybuilder with huge muscles but not being too slim either).

I also stumbled on this but don’t know whether it’s true or not..

I need some advice please. thanks
