do Pro-Bodybuilders do cardio?

[Nighthawkk]

I know this may seem like an ignorant question for those that know the answer, but I really don't have a clue. Do pros ever work a cardio regime into their schedule to help burn extra calories when cutting fat for a contest? Or do they just use powerful thermogenics, steroids, and various drugs to intensify their fat-burning abilities? I know diet must be key, but as for the other aspects, I 'm uncertain. Any info regarding this?

Some don't but most do. I think Ronnie Coleman does 2 hours/day. One in the morning and one at night. It is low intensity though (walking on a treadmill)

yeah i was gonna say i only know ronnies routine from his video and he just walks his swolt ass on the treadmill...i'd like to see that fucker run in pursuit of someone at a police scene...he'd die

Well it must be tough for ronnie, since he is natural...

Ive never seen any pros at my gym do cardio--theyd prob blow out a lung...fat-burning is prety much drug-related & extreme dieting.

All the cardio they do is fairly low-intensity. 5'9" men who weigh 260 can't run very well, and if they tried would probably break and tear a lot of things.

Yeah he may do 2 hours but he still needs to get his fat ass in there and do more.
