Yeah, if you wanna be a walking heart attack waiting to happen

This is true.

I agree with that most bodybuilders don't need cardio.  But very few people lack the discipline necessary to "eat clean" long enough to cut fat and lose very little muscle.
 
Look around most gyms in america and you see mostly two types of people

1. the fat slob, farely musuclar guy benching an average amount of weight but at 35+ BF, no one cares. So he has convinved himself that the is power lifting. Doing mostly 1/4 reps

2. The normal looking guy that swears he is Ronnie Coleman's twin walking around with next to nothing on. Put a tshirt on him and couldn't
tell that he works out.  Doing mostly 1/4 reps

3. Very seldom seen..that is the guy that has figured out a few things about him self and is making gains

Adonis is the only guy that I know of that can take in more calories than he expends and still lose weight. 


he just sprinkles a few pixie dust on his food and all is good

for a natual lifter certainly, it is not possible to do no cardio and grow - you wouldnt be able to take on board enough calories to fuel muscle growth without doing cardio as you would turn into a fat ass. Or the other alternative is to eat like a bird, and stay lean without doing any cardio, and look like a POW camp victim - like somebody we know around here !!

yeah only if you over do it tho.

To really lose enogh calories by doing cardio you have to "over do it". Eating right is the way to go.
