WHY CARDIO makes you FAT!

[Vectork39]

im still a firm believer that cardio is much better for conditioning purposes but it all has to do with what that purpose really is. When i was hardcore freestlye wrestling, if i didnt keep up the rigorous windsprints and prolonged running, i would notice that my endurance went down no matter how long i was spending in the gym. And now that i focus on lifting, my endurance is shit when i step on the mat. Just my 2 pennies

I guess I thought Nelson was younger because of the way he argues with everybody and trashes his competition is so unprofessional and childlike. I guess I did put my foot in my mouth. I would have thought a man of 49 years old would respect his competitors (like swolecat) and not have to talk trash. For someone so confident in his workout/diet plans, the success should speak for itself. He sounds more like an immature 25 year old. My bad. Your all that Nelson.......

Wrong again. I never trashed swolecat, nor is he comptition. I did, however, have a probem with someone spamming. I get a lot of shit for being self promotional but 99% of my posts have nothing to do with my books. Meanwhile, swolecat has offered nothing on this board other than what he sells. And what he sells I believe to be a waste of money. It may work, but lots of things work that don't cost the ridiculous price he charges. That's not trashing. It's consumer awareness.

Hey, some believe X while others Believe Y.......afterall, who really gives a flying fffffffffffffffffffff...................seriously. Is this dumb???? Quit wasting your time and let's discuss something else. If X works for you, DO IT! If Y works for you, DO IT. If you've never done cardio, TRY IT...if you've never trained ballz to the wall, DO IT! Then love it or hate it and move on.............Buffet anyone?

JKurz1...good final comments....karma for you...

Hopefully that will end the thread since about everything has been said that could possibly be said...

i wouldnt say that cardio will make you fat, but its certainly not a must if one's interest is slow and even fat loss without sacrifcing muscle tissue.

I think he was probably talking about average couch potato americans.

If you play a cardio intensive sport......I don't think you're going to be able to skip cardio....lol

Unless you like not playing at all. i.e. Riding the bench.

Talk about displaying one's ignorance.

I'm 49 years old with 10% bodyfat. No aerobics. (But I do like pizza).

Than you must be in pretty awful cardiovascular shape.

I have always recommended cardio to EVERYBODY. Walking even...its is good for your cardiovascular system.

People tend to forget about conditioning.

Its one thing to be able to lift, but can you run up 10 flights of stairs without panting?

Somehow I doubt it....lol

Cardio is exceedingly good for your heart.

People used to say Bill Kazmeier used an oxygen tank in between sets because his breathing was so labored.

Some degree of cardiovascular training is necessary for my overall health. I have gone long periods where I only lifted weights and I could get fairly lean without cardio... but I knew I was out of shape. It is nice to be able to play a few games of basketball for an hour or two and still have spring in your step. When I did no cardio... I lost my spring after 30-45 minutes. It is hard to explain, but I just feel better when I do cardio.

No, the subject of this thread is that cardio makes you fat. the summary is just fine, all it says is that after eating, cardio trained folks burn fat at the same rate as others! Period, nothing about them being more susceptible to gaining fat and nothing about the fat burned during cardio. i suggest YOU go back and read the article and then try drawing LOGICAL conclusions. Try rereading your posts inlight of the article presented, there is NOTHING there that has cardio making folks gain fat. You really should give this up, there are more important battles and points to be won other than trying to read something into an article that not only is not there but is counter to every single piece of real evidence and logic presented.

the point has already been made and accepted that weight training is an effective method off fat burning, that is not the subject nor the title of this discussion.

the article summary I posted was just that, a summary...jboldman, why don't you go to the American Journal of Clincial Nutrition (ajcn.org) and read the entire results...the point is people who do cardio will process fat just as slow as a person who sits on their ass all day... and YES then entire argument of this thread was that weightlifting is better for you than cardio.
