being that I only have 2 to 3 days a week to exercise i need to fit in some cardio,hence the question;
does doing 20 min of cardio right after lifting compromise my muscle growth from lifting--(when I finish the cardio i drink a shake with about 100 carbs and 75 protein)

I know a lot of guys that do that. It really depends on if you are trying to cut or bulk.

I do cardio after I train. When I'm cutting I do first thing in the morning and again after I train. While I'm bulking I still do 15 minutes or so after training 3 times a week just to get the heart punping to make sure it still works.

i like doing cardio after working out. i probably should start that up again soon.

unless you've got a super-fast metabolism and aren't eating enough calories and protein a day the 20 minutes shouldn't be a problem.
