Dexter Jackson: No Cardio for Contest Preparation?

[Deicide]

I remember reading twice that Dexter Jackson does NO cardio to get schredded. I guess that is how it is for a Meso-Ectomorph...can anyone confirm this as fact though?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

He used to but he started doing cardio a few years ago.  His metabolism has slowed down with age.

all related to drugs.

Bull shit

there was a video him, showing his "crib" and cars..by Mitz (I think that is the name of the guy that recorded it)

he stated and I quote "I don't do cardio, I only do it 3 times a week for 30 minutes"..epic double talk

no one needs to do cardio to loose weight, all you need is a caloric deficit. fuck ectomorph, mesomorph, its all bullshit.

that being said, doing cardio will help you get into a "negative caloric state" (in combination with caloric restriction).

nothing special about dexter jackson...compared to the average person, apart from him being on massive amounts of drugs that help with burning fat and keeping his muscles when dieting. (+he has good muscle shape etc..)

You need cardio when your metabolism slow down with low carb diet.
If your body can keep high metabolism even if you do low carb diet, you dont need to do cardio. Very simple.

no. its a question of amount of calories. not about metabolism (unless you have some serious metabolic disorder)


the key word is caloric need, not metabolism. doing cardio is a way to burn calories and get into a caloric deficit.

how you reach that caloric deficit, is up to you (restring calories and/or doing cardio)

If you think Dexter does no cardio, look at these:

Before



After



Do you really think he always did this? The only way I can see ANYONE getting by with absolutely ZERO cardio, is to increase the fat burning drugs (clen, T3, ephedra, etc...) to a seriously dangerous dose. Then again, who am I to talk? I've taken Bronkaid, 400mg of caffeine pills and a triple shot Rockstar as "one dose" numerous times in a day.

[Deicide]

Well there is this plant extract (the name of which I have unfortunately forgotten) which burns fat at light speed; it is potentially life threatening to use as well...shit what is it called...?

[YoungBlood]

Ma Huang? Guarana? Ephedra?
None of these equal any of the other synthetics (clen, T3, and I think cytomel can be thrown in there but not my field for sure).
No matter what Dexter is taking, you don't transform like that with zero cardio.

no, he can get away with zero cardio if he restricts his food enough and thereby finds himself in a caloric deficit. the main thing drugs do is they allow you to cheat in your diet and keep your muscle when dieting. the "cutting drugs"  makes it easier, but are not necessary. the aas, is necessary tho, as they allow you too keep your hard earned muscle when reaching very low fat%. a natural will start losing loads of muscle when fat% drops under 7-8% or so.

Dorian once claimed the same thing.  Said his only cardio was walking from his car to the gym.

Honestly cardio is not needed. Shit like DNP can burn fat while you sleep.  There is some nasty stuff out there that can burn more fat than 20 hours of cardio a day could.

Sorry, I'm not inclined to agree with you on this one.

Maybe dexter Doesn't Like To do Cardio?

Monsta DNP Usage..

well, tell me exactly what parts you dont agree with then.

[spinnis]

He didnīt do cardio before, but now as said with age he does.


And the fat photo, he didnīt train for 10 weeks.

[WOOO]

cardio & drugs help but diet is the key

That's the stuff I am talking about. Deadly but it explains how they can go from 14% bodyfat to 3% in just a few weeks....sometimes anyway...

[WOOO]

[YoungBlood]

I agree that he could do no cardio and get cut. But as ripped as Dex comes into every contest, you realize he has to have cardio, and lots of drugs to get him that ripped. Would you think Andreas Munzer got his crazy striations with zero cardio and just lowered his calories? No, Munzer had help, just as Dex does.
So, I guess what I'm saying: You can get ripped as you say (lower calories, increase activity) but does Dexter do that? No way in hell.

Theres drugs to build with little effort and same for getting lean without cardio  .then theres the bber who trains,cardio,supp's,natural and non supp's covers all bases.drugs in the end though can't totally eliminate doing whats needed for the finished stage product.
