Shredded = NO cardio

[JKurz1]

Ok, I'm curious......I'll bet half of us say they hate cardio and half of the half refuse to do it at all. My question is, aside from being a genetic freak, can you get shredded/ripped/diced, by finagling your diet alone....i.e. no cardio whatsoever?

How about just the stationary bike?

I can but my strength and size levels go way down. If I do interval cardio or grapple I can get ripped without losing strength or size witha decent diet

yes you can talk to onerepmaximum he just did a show w/o doing much cardio and Im sure you dont need to be in contest shape to look great for the summer. I can get really lean on diet alone but I feel kind of crappy if I do, I hate cardio so I do hit cardio. Sprint 100 yards in under 14 seconds (Depending on size you could extend time to 16-18 seconds) jog back in under 60 sec(always the same) as soon as you get back go again. Start at 8 sprints and work your way up do these twice a week and you'll see some quality results. It doesnt take very long either, just do a lap or two jog to warmup and stretch out and your good to go. done w/i 20 minutes

to me, cardio makes the whole process faster and when i see results quicker i feel motivated. Another reason for me to do cardio is to chase women around on an indoor track, lol

I mainly do cardio because after bulking all winter I get winded doing menial tasks and it pisses me off. So might as well work on my cardiovascular endurance while I'm dieting.

Aside from doing cardio for it's own sake or to make a distance/time-based PR, why do you dislike cardio so much yet not dislike lifting?

 

[Dieharder]

i HATE cardio (probably since i ran track all throughout high school and my freshman and half of my soph year of college), i like lifting much more

 

[Tom Treutlein]

I don't like running due to the fact it can lead to problems in knees later in life. I like walking a lot, just to get out for a breath of air and to clear my mind. I'll play basketball for fun. I'll ride the stationary bike every once in a while. I don't hate cardio, but I don't feel as accomplished when I finish a cardio session as I do when I lift.

I would say yes if you have a very active job. One where your heart rate is up there.
