Weights:Cardio ratio? Christ, you guys try to make all of this sound scientific. If you were being scientific you would know SAID (specific adaptation to imposed demands), which is a common acronym of the excercise science world. Cardio converts fast twitch fibers into slower twitch fibers, thus reducign strength potential, and potential gains from weight training, as well as burning protien from fast twitch fibers for fuel. In other words, its catabolic. Fuck man, do some research.
You do not get big by playing on the eliptical trainer, nor do you stay big by doing so. Maybe that is why some fucktards are using 2-3 grams a week but still noly have 18" arms and a 350 lbs bench press.
