I never said cardio doesn't work. However, it doesn't work better than lowering calories for body composition. It's all a matter of convenience. The problem is that the "tried and trusted" methods are so inconvenient for some people that they set them up for failure. For others it's the other way round. I just try to separate the essential factors from convenience factors.
If Deicide already knows a method that works for him, I wouldn't change it either. I was under the impression that he was struggling with the conventional methods he already tried.
I agree to an extent with what you are saying. Dieting by the means of solely lowering your cals and that is it would obviously be easier, but imo that doesn't make it better.
I'd rather go the "tried and trusted" method simply because it is the healthier approach. Cardio is needed for optimal health. And there are more benefits to cardio than just "burning fat/cals/expending energy"
But then again, this is bb'ing, so health takes a back seat it seems.....
