Okay, fess up. Who else had a mullet in 1990?
The funny thing regarding cardio wasn't that it held back gains, but being so naturally thin, I assumed it would get me ripped. But it never did. It just flattened me out. When I stopped putting my clients through cardio and upped the training intensity, everyone lost more fat.
BTW, That second pic in the hat is pre gear. The competition photo on my site was after a few dabbles. And a haircut.
