Shredded = NO cardio

[Tom Treutlein]

Wouldn't that be the same as having no job and just being really active, which kind of equates to cardio anyway?

I have far from great genetics, I gain fat just by looking at food, but I got down to 4% bf with almost no cardio, none at all in the last 4-6 weeks. The key was keeping the diet 100% on at all times

Just the man I wanted to hear from....lol....whats been going on?

Ok, so you do it with no cardio...how do you keep your strength/size and are you training just once a day? Decrease rest times between sets?

 

[JKurz1]

oh, and you don't even cut carbs too much, do you? Gear or clean?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

To maintain, I'm just going to take a stab in the dark, but I think Needsize used 1 or 2 heavy sets to preserve strength and cuts down accessory exercises to 1 set for 8-10 reps. Well, that's what I remember him telling me awhile back when I asked about cutting on a 5x5. 1-2x5 and 1x8-10

I'm thinking about nixing the cardio..........only problem is, I train so damn early in the am, by the time 5pm rolls around, I feel like I davent done anything.....except my brain is friend and I'm tired...........lol

 

[Tom Treutlein]

So you're cutting out cardio and going to be on a caloric defecit while trying to grow, man? I believe you did want to grow, yes?

Oh, I'm just assuming you'd be on a defecit...I don't know how you plan to gain past your current level without adding at least a bit of fat.

If my diet is clean I can cut fat pretty quickly. My regular lifting burns a lot of cals.

i'm 6 weeks into my cutting diet and was going to add cardio when fat loss started to plateau. my diet has been super clean, and i'm seeing great results without any loss in strength. i HATE cardio, so i'm hoping the loss continues so that i can get away without having to add it in at all....we'll see.
