They discuss this exact question and explain the options nicely.
TR recommends cycling first then gym but all the gym bros recommend gym first then cardio and after a bit of trial and error that works best for me too. I really can’t do a proper lifting session after a hard workout but can still do a hard workout after a gym session. Probably best to do legs on the same day as the hard TR workouts to allow for recovery
