Im in a cardio state of mind too.
I have been using the step machine for 40mins/day, good results.
Next week will rev it up with a run for 20mins after the step machine, and keep it up till summer (Australian Summer)
its all about being lean.

5-6 times a week. 30-45mins

A week? Between 2-3 hours depending on how many times I hit the gym.

One hour every morning after I wake up. I take only BCAAs prior. Every third day I then do an extra 45 min in the evening.

All this shit ends after September comes around and I get to eat carbs again!

dude i fn hate cardio it is so boring to me so i have been starting a new way for me i will go intense higher reps up to 15 and less break between and also adding super sets of at least 5 movements back to back and for the actual cardio i will get my military back pack and put some weight in it and walk fast on 25 degree incline for 5 min then gt on one of the bikes for 5min and then ill do that arm/shoulder rotation machine and then do abs. i figured that if i do resistant cardio it will keep me from boredom and build more strength

I will do usually 30 min, low intensity cardio 4-5 times a week. usually on the eliptical or treadmill.

dexterJ · « **Reply #18 on:** July 24, 2009, 07:22:16 AM »

look like i ma the only one who did 8-10 times a week 30 minuts

Big Rock. · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2009, 09:53:09 AM »

Not the only one dex,

I do an hour to an hour 15, six days a week. Split between elliptical and stair-stepper. Mid to high intensity. On average, according to the machines calculations, I'm burning between 9500 and 11000 cals per week. Been at this for almost 2 yrs. Eat very clean, except for one cheat meal per week. Did the water bf test last wk., and was disappointed. Was hoping to see around 8%, but showed me at 11%. Bummer. Even my lifting is always super-sets with little rest to keep the hart rate up.

Some guys are a furnace, just burn up everything. I'm more like a wherehouse.

Hoping the GH, T3, and clen I'll be starting soon will help in this area...

Do you find it hard to hold muscle when working a manual labor type job? When younger I was a carpenter and it was very hard to keep size and figure out how much to eat when dieting for a contest for myself.

I grew like crazy when I was young & working landscaping & other odd "manual" labor jobs. Of course I was also 18-20...now in my 30's I'm not sure I could do 10-12 hours of manual labor & then train.
