how else will you get ripped? lol thats funny. i have never taken steroids, i just competed two months ago and was the most ripped person in my weight class. i was also the smallest but i still placed. ITS CALLED DIETING ROB. sure sups and cardio WILL help but diet is the number ONE thing that will get you ripped. i did cardio maybe 3 days a week for less than a 30 min when i did do it and i came into my contest in great condidtion. small but cut. we were having this conversation about whether or not cardio ON cycle effects heart size and health.
