The cardio thing Bob, I'll just give a couple of examples, a few years ago before Titus became an inmate, I trained at Golds LV for a few days, got to know him and trained with him for a couple of days, I went along with his routein, he was getting ready for a show so who was I to change things, each weight session lasted about an hour, later he was back for a two hour cardio session. Also, I usually see people getting ready for a show training ONE bodypart perday for about 45-1 hour and the cardio sessions lasting longer.
SO WHAT? The sport is called Bodybuilding, not weightlifting. If you manage to build your body completely without lifting weights and look good on stage everything is fine too....What you wanna say with the point that some pro's cardio sessions last longer than their weightlifting sessions, somehow I don't get it....? Is there a rule in the IFBB-rulebook prescribing that you're not allowed to perform more then 45 minutes of cardio per day when preparing for a show or what??

you mad old man?your glory' day jibber jabber amuses me
Bob, serious question, do you think the athletes have taken it too far with conditioning/being dry? I think it is to the point now, where peoples lives are in danger every time they do a show.
Titus? Great example.....Titus was never the "norm" if you follow me....EVERYONE'S cardio is longer than their training these days for the simple fact that the emphasis on conditioning is far greater than it was 15-20 years ago....If your workout is longer than your cardio.....you havent learned anything in all these years.
1. Exactly my point Chick, people are doing longer cardio, but conditioning is worse than it was 15-20 years ago and you know the reason why.
Because the athletes are 50 pounds heavier on stage than 15-20 years ago??
It's a combination of the judging rewarding such extremes, and the athletes trying to achieve an extreme look thats being rewarded....
Na, not a meltdown at all, just a reality check.
Is there any way that it will ever be reversed...I liked the way the guys from the 90's looked...ie levrone, wheeler, ray, etc...and then ronnie came along and made it ok to have a gut, since then, bodybuilding has been on a steady decline...
Yes, he's dangerous in his posts.
Yes...change the judging criteria and start placing guys with guts/ obvious synthol use/ gyno/ no detail/ etc.....down at the bottom of the order (and out of the money)Watch how fast the physiques start to look like they should....
But how do we as the fans make that happen?
only a stupid person would take drug advice from an anonymous stranger online.stupid people are allowed to poison, and kill themselves.it makes the world better. darwinism at its finest. if you are dumb enough to shoot insulin because some guy posing as a pro tells you to, it's probably better if you dont reproduce.
