I haven't done any cardio for the last 2 years
LOL youll likely die the first time you try it but ive done it with pretty good results...

i wouldnt do it all the time but just when you dont feel like getting on the tread mill for 30 mins or so.

it gets hard to get yourself to do this form of cardio too b/c it can be pretty intense.

all in all not bad but like i said the first couple of times youre going to feel like youre going to die

I used to do it on the bike with good results (15 minutes: 10 seconds all out, 50 seconds idle peddling).

I like sprinting up hills too.  The problem I have is I always go all out, absolutely to the max, and it's miserable.  I have a hard time sticking to it because it's so brutal, and I usually would do it on my "off" days, but the cardio workout was harder than my weight lifting workouts!

Does anyone else have a similar problem?  Do I just need to hold back a little, or am I just a bitch?  How many days a week do you guys do this stuff?

I actually think that HITT is too intense and cuts too much into the ability to practice hard and productive weight training, since it trains the same energy system that weight training does. I think that one is much better off practicing AT (aerobic/anaerobic threshold) training for anywhere from 12 to 20 continous min

Its not essential for a diet....just think it as a tool to shed the last bf off....i say use the HIT last few weeks and cut it slowly beginning 4 weeks out.
2 last weeks NO CARDIO...maybe even 3.

this is good advise. all of it.

I'll stop it way before 3-4 weeks out tho, I should cut cardio at 8-10 weeks out if my plan goes well  8)

hahahah yea bro i know what you mean, i generally feel bad for an hour or so...

and yea LOL i always want to quit around round 4 or 5...after round 1 youre like "shit this isnt bad at all" then by round 4 youre like "i dont think i can make it"...

what exercise did you do?

next time you do it look in the mirror afterwards and see if you think your chest and shoulders look bigger...

mine always look bigger afterwards and it lasts for a while too.

 Doing cardio in the gym is very very boring.

 That's why I take my bicycle out and ride around for cardio. It's fun.

It's really a tricycle until you take the training wheels off.

if you do cardio on something that has to be plugged into a electrical socket then you will never know the secret to being insanely shredded

 What do you do to get so shredded?

 A high protien liquid diet? Polevaulting? Power bottoming?
