they dont really do cardio, sure they do some pathetically low intensity treadmill or step machine "work"


but that's probably just to work up a sweat

Prehaps the bit of cardio they do is amplified x10 on the aas & hgh they are on! One thing is they all seem to do it even offseason so must be something in it? ???

jay cutlet says it's useful to get the matabolism going but gym-science says high intensity work is more effective for metabolism elevation

this. I always laugh at how these guys walk on a treadmill with no incline at 2.5mph. That isn't cardio

Always wondered what the resting heartbeat is for a lot of these guys. Gotta be well over 80 bpm  :-X

Titus once called it "bodybuilder bullshit cardio", 1 hour walking on a treadmill  ::) It's certainly not conditioning the heart muscle and leaving the bodybuilder bent down, panting for air.

cardio?

anyway, im starting to lean now towards HIT cardio instead of the whole 1 hour on the treadmill at 5%incline at 4mph.

HIT burns bf long after your session has ended. i can see low intensity doing much other than burning bf while your one the treadmill and im even starting to question the efficacy of doing this.

Regardless of which is the more effective bodyfat burning method, do you ever worry about heart health? A lot of bodybuilders ignore the fact that they are cardiovascularly untrained, with very high resting heart rates and the inability to run a few hundred meters without being exhausted.

Wasn't it Ron Coleman who, when he was asked about cardio, said "I don't do cardio, I just up the GH" back in 1996?

dude, bodybuilding isnt about health.

basically bodybuilding is about finding the way to look the best with the least amount of effort.

i think not working your heart is a mistake...2 to 3 times a week and breaking sweat. The fitter you are the better is your sex ;)

In 96 coleman was doing an 1hr in the morn and 1hr at night cardio walking on a treadmill so that doesnt add up?  Maybe alot of the pros are lieing about their cardio as well as their drugs now!!

Not many pros can say they have never done cardio whilst getting ready for shows! and most do it it year round especailly the older ones like Dex tony free & jay c!  ;)

 It seems the trend now is for guys to stay leaner in the offseason back in the Dorian days it was vogue to blow up in the offseason not do cardio and almost get fat to put muscle on now its sort of the opposite but who knows how much cardio they do in offseason because unless you follow them around with a camera then you only get what they say and bodybuilders arent the biggest truth tellers around, you know?

no cardio offseason, only 10-15 min of cardio PWO after your biggest injection day if you feel short of breath

3-4 weeks precontest, 15-20 min of cardio on empty stomach in the morning, GH takes care of the rest

The only cardio they would consider doing in the off-season is probably walking the dog

sex wouldn't be cardio because these lazy fucks probably let the girl be on top all the time and they just lay down and relax  8)

Seeing as they get sweaty, wheezy and start gulping for air just walking around, I reckon 20-30 mins on a treadmill is reasonably taxing for these 280lb offseason freaks...
