Title: Why no High Intensity Cardio for State Level Bodybuilders
Post by: TechnoViking on April 29, 2009, 08:48:54 PM
Lets face it, most Olympic 100meter to 200 meter runners would smoke most state level bodybuilders if they decided to step on stage...Short High Intensity cardio obviously works...Why don't you hear about it in the novice to lower level bodybuilders who have other things going on in their lives who don't have the time for 2 hrs of low intensity cardio? Are these people really that insecure that they believe it will take too much muscle away from their precise 175 pound body?

The people with the best potential for competitive bodybuilding are already in other professional sports like football, track and field, etc.  They already have incredible bodies and don't have the desire to build them up to what we see on the IFBB stages.  

In my opinion, the best genetically gifted bodies in the world are the guys who never take up the sport in the first place.  Insecurity and lack of a better path are what precipitates an individual entering the sport of bodybuilding.

These guys doing sprints aren't lifting a ton of weights yet hold onto more muscle then 90% of state level bodybuilders with less drugs...Sure they are genetic freaks....But let me ask you this Chick...Have you ever done high intensity cardio instead of long low intensity cardio...

High intensity cardio works but its only added benefit is saving time IMO. I'd rather do an extra boring 20mins at mod intensity than drain my energy and burn carbs that I should be saving for the weights. It all depends on what type of body you want in the end be it bb to the fitness look to the marathon runner.

Thats my question really...Most bodybuilders would never do high intensity cardio....However if we are to look at speed skaters(ice) these guys quads would blow away 99% of all state level bodybuilders...Is there something to be learned there?

The biggest reason why bodybuilders don't do HIT cardio is because its very hard.  Many bodybuilders don't like working hard enough to get their heart rate up in the 170-180s.

High intensity cardio doesn't work very well for BBers....if you put one of those guys on stage against decent BBers, they would look like beanpoles....I suggest you check out one of the many spreads they have had in M&F over the years when they feature a track athlete, etc

Bob, do you honestly know very many bodybuilders who have even tried HIT cardio?  I don't think many people like exerting themselves to the extent HIT cardio requires.

I don't know but its pretty much in stone that the top guys don't do it.  If the low level guys wanna come up then why should they do the opposite?

because the top guys say they do 2 hours a day of cardio...If a guy who works 50 to 60 hours a week can get away with doing HIT type cardio for 40 minutes and get the same results, why on earth wouldn't he do that considering time means everything?

Bodybuilders = sheep.  Most people just get in line and do whatever everyone else is doing.  HIT cardio works great; most people just don't have the cojones to deal with the "sting" of it.

Simple...because doing high int burns CARBS...low intensity burns FAT.  When on a low carb diet, the last thing you want to be doing is burning up what little carbs/ glycogen you have stored.

Whats the point of saving time if you lose muscle (especially noticable on a state level bb) and place low in your show? I've worked a 50 hr week and if you wanna get the cardio done you'll make time. Join a 24 hr fitness. 2hrs is really an extreme that most pros who don't blow up like balloons don't have to do accept maybe a few times closer to the show. Dexter just started doing cardio like 20-45 mins a day and he's peeled every time.

I think you may be right...Most that I know look into the mirror and think they are small...If someone told them to do HIT cardio, they would say " my legs are going to look like sticks"...I have no clue about HIT cardio and haven't really done it...Just asking the question though...

There's also a little thing called heart rate...the higher it goes, the more calories are burned.  After HIT cardio, a person's heart rate stays elevated for quite some time...accelerating fat loss.

Bob, I think the main reason why most bodybuilders don't do HIT cardio is because it requires a ton of energy and isn't easy.

No...there's not.

And those that have were top level pro's with lots of muscle requiring more carbs to sustain.  

When you're 270 lbs. in contest condition...200 g./ day IS low

Bunch of bullshit. Natural bodybuilders benefit more from HIT cardio than low intensity cardio according to recent studies.

You won't lose muscle if you are eating enough calories and protein.

"calories" is a pretty generic term....calories from where? carbs?

Burning stored fat is the objective...which you never get to when you're burning nothing but carbs, never getting to the fat....like all the fat chicks you see TEACHING aerobic classes....awesome cardiovascular, but cant get trim

Exactly!  People are finally catching on.  It's OK to bust your ass to get ripped!  You don't have to spend hours and hours on the treadmills like the pros (many of whom are very lazy people in general terms).

Let's think about this and apply some common sense:   In track & field, sprinters = muscular, marathoners = scrawny.

Sprinters train HIIT, marathoners train steady-state, longer time period.


Any questions?

You won't lose muscle if you are eating enough calories and protein. 

But the problem is eating enough to keep your muscle from the HI, while keeping them low enough to lose fat, while having enough carbs to perform the HI, while having mod to low enough carbs to target body fat. To many variables when it could be much easier to do it moderate intensity.

Come on Bob, you know many of those chicks are hitting up McDonald's as a post-workout reward!  It's well-known that someone can be fit and carry unsightly body fat.  

You still haven't answered my question - do you know any bodybuilders who have really committed to HIT cardio?

I remember reading a M&F article with Eddie Robinson talking about how he liked to do interval training on a heavy bag as cardio for cutting up pre-contest.  He knew getting his heart rate up high was key to burning fat.  

I don't understand why so many people still think you have to be a drone on the cardio machine...paying careful attention to not over-exert at the risk of "burning muscle."  WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT!  If you are eating calories and plenty of protein, you aren't going to have a problem.  

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: PEOPLE AVOID HIT CARDIO BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED OF WORKING VERY HARD!  It's much easier to just walk at 3.0 mph on the treadmill for 2 hours a day.

Here is some common sense:

Sprinters are naturally muscular/ fast, thats why they are sprinters  faster metabolisms are prone to not carrying a whole lot of fat...less to do with training and more to do with genetic disposition

200 g for someone like Jay is very low. For me at 210 and not ripped its kinda high.

In the 80's there was a diet going around my gym(state level) that was 2oz of plain pasta and 5oz of plain chicken 7 times a day(every 2 hours) and everyone who followed this thing was ripped to shreds(under 6%) as long as they didn't cheat...This thing was almost 300 grams of carbs

Generally sprinters were high level athletes with fantastic genetics.

Marathon runners were the scrawny losers who got stuffed into lockers.

That's a good counter point.  However, wouldn't you say the particular style of training accentuates the individual's set of genetics?  I'm naturally muscular at 185 lbs, but if I start running 10-15 miles a day, I'll shrink down and take on completely different look.  If I start eating more and lifting max weight, I'll go up over 200 lbs within a couple of months.

I started using HIIT for my upcoming show and came down WAY to fast and started to sacrifice some size. I stopped and went back to low intensity AM and PM and luckily have had time to get back on track. It works, but I would stay away from it as a bodybuilder unless you are way behind and no other real options.

I started using HIIT for my upcoming show and came down WAY to fast and started to sacrifice some size. I stopped and went back to low intensity AM and PM and luckily have had time to get back on track. It works, but I would stay away from it as a bodybuilder unless you are way behind and no other real options.

So....HIIT will burn fat very quickly?  Sounds like it works!

Bob, have you personally ever given HIIT a fair shot or just dismissed it without trying it?

Yeah it works but are you willing to lose 2 lbs of muscle to lose 5 lbs of fat or will you add more lower intensity and probably keep the muscle? At a low level you need ever bit of muscle you have.

I disagree with you about the effectiveness of HIIT cardio.  I just don't think enough people have tried it to dismiss it so readily.  I think the major reason why people don't try it is because IT HURTS!  

By the way, I met you at the 2004 Nats in Dallas when Chris Cook turned pro and a fight almost broke out in the audience.  You were a real gent and chatted me up at the BB.com booth for a few minutes.  Glad to see you've made some good money from the sport.  It's unfortunate we don't have more people like you in BBing these days.

Did you win your show? And if not, was it because of your legs?  Did you have striations upon striations in your quads when doing HIT or did you just stop because of weight?

That = probably one of the things. And people stop once the pain starts.
Regardless, studies suggests that the max benefit from HIT cardio comes when you are in sufficient form to really tax your system, which excludes most "normal" people. Thus, you have to keep it up for a while to make it really work for you in most cases.

It = by far the most effective cardio Debussey has heard about.

The drug using Pro is basically lazy and lacks energy.  They find 'hit' cardio way too pysically demanding and mentally challenging.

It is much easier for them to shoot roids, do a 50 minute gym session three times a week and then just sleep, eat and do basically nothing else.

You claimed an IQ of 137 or something a while back, and you said you broke a school record on the SAT test in high school. You bitched out of IQtest.dk, saying it gave you a headache, like you say math do. Be a man, take a real IQ test ;)

Depends on the criteria. 142 = genius cutoff by some standards, while others has 160+ as the genius cutoff. Regardless, having a 140 IQ won't turn you into a math or music genius without work, as studies on expertise shows that if you have enough talent (which for most intellectual pursuits 130+ is), then the amount of work you put in is the determining factor. (and the best people out there has put in enormous amounts of work, 10000 - 30000+ hours...)

If you take the admission test for your local Mensa chapter (cutoff: 130), you'll meet a lot of 140 IQ'ers, and you'll see that they are mostly just normal people.


Ps: about 0,39% of the population in western countries has a 140+ IQ. Hardly very special.

The pain of just doing a normal HIT routine like running for 10 secs, jogging for 50 the first minute, then increasing the sprints and decreasing the jogging by 2 secs/minute until you reach 20 secs sprints, then reversing the 2 second thing until you reach 10 again on the running track will KILL most people here.

Simple...because doing high int burns CARBS...low intensity burns FAT.  When on a low carb diet, the last thing you want to be doing is burning up what little carbs/ glycogen you have stored.
It's not about carbs Mr. Bob O-Dooble poop. The point of HIT cardio is to increase your VO2 max to increase beta oxidation. Beta Oxidation requires oxygen.

He's a drug addict, a thief, and he takes cock up the ass??  :o   Does he have AIDS yet?  Wow what a life people with 137 IQ scores lead!

I wouldn't be surprised if he had AIDS. If he was robbing his parents of that much money, it only makes sense to think that he would be down on the street corner at night blowing 50 year old businessmen for an 8 ball.

I got in here and was talking about sprinting
while you and tbombz were ALREADY talking about IQs

I still continued to talk about sprinting while you and others talked about your massive genius IQ  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You can bet your ass on the fact that there are many people walking around at your local uni with 130+ IQs :-*

Didnt you claim to score close to SD3 on IQ tests some time back? ;D

Yes, I've been tested twice in that range.  Oddly, another test I had as a child had me down around monkey-boy candidizzle's score.


But since there are over a million people in the US alone at 145 or better, it's not really all that.

The pain of just doing a normal HIT routine like running for 10 secs, jogging for 50 the first minute, then increasing the sprints and decreasing the jogging by 2 secs/minute until you reach 20 secs sprints, then reversing the 2 second thing until you reach 10 again on the running track will KILL most people here.

It's serious business,

Guys if you are reading this, don't try HIT if you are already not in decent shape, you could get a heart attack and die

This = Not a joke

I read a report saying that the average college grad IQ = around 120, so depending on the school you go to there will be a decent amount of 130+ people around.

I'm one of them  :-*

Ahh, so it's bullshit when Relentless says his IQ is 130+ but you expect us to believe you when you say yours is? Interesting. Right after that paragraph long rant about people lying on the internet nonetheless.

DO you get it now Bob?  No one repects these drug abusing Pro's....They just ooze insecurity!

They are perceived as lazy and lacking back bone.  Hence, they resort to the 'drug option'...the 'easy option'...the cop out!

And to think that you yourself are part of the problem...defending these drug abusing low lifes without fear, favour or shame!  

Yes Bob, you are an intelligent man who has been lead down an ugly path of abuse and sloth!

That = a respectable score. The difference between something like 140 and 145 = pretty small anyway, and can be influenced by a lot of factors. Things like how focused and determined you are during the test can mean a difference of several points.

People threat IQ like it is some "magical unidentifiable property", which it certainly ain't.

of course, I even went to a private elementry school for the bright and gifted a genius school

There are MANY different types of intelligences
just because you have a high IQ does not mean you are better at everything than people with lower IQ's
It=just a number  :)

Agreed. But IQ does tell you something about yourself though. An 100 IQ person = different from a 145+ for example, and IQ correlates with a shitload of things like education level, health, propensity for becoming a criminal ect. They say that correlation does not equal cause, but sometimes you gotta wonder  :-X

Make no mistake about it, IQ does affect your life
People who have a high IQ don't normally commit crimes and if they do, they are probably smart enough to get away with it  :o

Did you know that IQ correlates with the size of your working memory? (7+-2  ;D )

And they have found that it might correlate with the integrity of your myelin sheeting (genetically determined), and it correlates with the amount of grey matter in your lateral prefrontal cortex.

depletes glycogen stores too much bro


high intensity cardio draws energy from different sources -- glycogen and stored muscle

the premise behind low intensity is to BURN FAT and thats it -- fck running 200m dash, that in itself is a competition

Do a google search you ingorant and misinformed retards.

Again, you can indulge in 'hit' cardio you 'wont loose' a shred of muscle if you 'up' the calories.

Low intensity cardio is for those lazy, drug addicted Pros who can't be bothered making a 'healthy' and worthwhile effort!
