Cardio bad??

[dragon06]

Ive heard that doing cardio while on AS is very bad, because it makes the heart grow bigger faster????

 

[gilly6993]

whoever told you that is a moron...cardio is excellent for cardiovascular health.....

Cardio makes the heart grow bigger? That's a stretch. But regarding cardio on or off steroids, I believe it's an effective and potentially injurous activity and there are far better methods of improving heart health, but others disagree.

There's an old saying "Distance makes the heart grow fonder"

I surely never heard that "cardio makes the heart grow bigger"


That was corny, but I had to throw it in.

That is one of the stupidest remarks I have ever heard.The best looking shape I got into in my life was when doing AS and Cardio 2-3 times a day.Now is a different story I'm just getting back into the game and I'm just getting into the routine of the weights again I personaly am putting a little hold on Cardio...

what are your other methods Nelson?

 

[poantrex]

Excess drugs.

How would you define cardio percisely? Do you mean specifically elevating your heart rate to the target range (for me is 152), and maintaining that for long periods of time.. (for example - 30-45 minutes)? That is very hard.

i agree with nelson montana,
iv'e read his article in the august 2003 edition of MuscleMag and it gives good back up points of why you shouldnt do cardio.......

nelson, there are 1,000's studies concluding cardio is good for you

Ah, and here I thought you were starting to attain a degree of rationality! Let me guess, the other more effective methods are, GASP, weight training! TADA! Did i guess right? Hmm, wait, that could not be it because we all know that the potential for injury is far greater pushing weights that walking for three miles after supper.

Sprinting/interval training or any HIIT is great for cardiovascular health and fat loss while maintaining muscle mass, in my experience. And this is when on or off the sauce. It is, however, not necessary to shed fat-- although it does accelerate the process. To each his own, I like nelson montana's thoughts/theories based on his posts, but I have to somewhat disagree on this issue. As for heart enlargement, I don't know.

I respect him for his knowledge and honesty, and I want to buy his book since his opinions seem unique compared to most bb'ing writers/philosophies, but I don't want to be duped into spending 40 bucks on a bunch of redundant material. Time to use the search engine to see if I can find out more about it.

Peace.
