I can get mine in the 150-155 range, but I can't imagine 175 for 20 mins.

I do 20-30 twice a week thats it. But I eat clean thats what makes the difference. And since Ive been active since i was very young. Someon just starting that is overweight would need a lot more cardio.

i dont do cardio and i'm trying to cut down. when i do cardio lose tons of muscle mass. just a while ago i was doing circuit training for cardio and lifting and i lost muscle. now i'm just controlling my carbs and calories and lifting regular and i'm still losing muscle. what the hell is wrong with me? i'm eating 2700 calories daily and it's about 40 percent protein.

hahaha! you're still loosing fat little man!......

yes i'm losing fat but i don't want to lose any muscle. losing both fat and muscle just makes you a smaller version of yourself. who wants that? of course the fatloss is greater than muscle loss but still. if things continue this way i'll go back up to 190 and try a different fat loss plan. get on the steak and egg diet and eat no carbs for days at a time.

bro why do you worry so much? just fucking eat and lift heavy!

(no carbs?) Then you'd have no energy.

Just do what the superstar says. You're overthinking it.

i love to just eat and lift heavy but you dont lose fat that way. remember the days and days of crazy posts we had after i posted my pictures? of course you do. so you know i wanna get my bodyfat below 10 to look good. after i enjoy having abs for a while and show them off this summer then i'll go back to eat and lift heavy.

Both my nutritionist and trainer suggested for cardio that I keep my heartrate around 140-150 for 30 minutes. I do that about three times a week after my workout and I've been doing well, though only into my third week of my new routine. Then again, not sure how differently such a cardio workout affects male and female. For me, it doesn't take much, 6 incline at about 3.7-3.8 km/hr. Heh, I'm not used to all this though, I really hate cardio, but I push myself to finish and I feel great afterwards.

gibberj2 · « **Reply #135 on:** April 27, 2006, 11:12:25 AM »

for what reason do you do your cardio?

NecrochildK · « **Reply #136 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:04:30 PM »

A few reasons, really, to burn a bit of fat, I'm quite overweight, and to strengthen the heart and circulatory system.

gibberj2 · « **Reply #137 on:** April 28, 2006, 03:38:31 PM »

ok but remember running on a hampster wheel isn't the only way to get your heart rate up

NecrochildK · « **Reply #138 on:** April 29, 2006, 03:35:25 AM »

lol I know, but I'm in the middle of a city, not like I can get fresh air out here. It does seem to be the easiest way though boring. Least there's a tv. Not to mention with my short attention span, if I were out in the woods somewhere, I'd be stopping too often to inspect things along the way like bugs and plants and snakes and stuff.

Hi guys! I am the original poster that started this thread a few years ago, at the time I used a guest account to make the post without thinking. I really haven’t posted here in a while, but I actually was going to make this into a complete book, but decided to make a website instead with all the knowledge I have gathered for the past 20 years of bodybuilding for free. Here it is:

http://www.rippednaturally.com/

There is a couple of ezine articles in there, but most of the articles I wrote myself.

Take care

Good article and nice job on your website! I'm 1 day out from our prov. champ. here in Sask and in the best shape of my life (43 years old). Vascular and ripped to the bone and x-mas right up my mid back. What type of cardio did I do? Well I did 45 to 60 min 2 times a day 7 days a week. Interesting enough as I got closer to the show I increased my pace of my long workouts to 30 secs. hard on the bike on mid range tension than 2 min recover just spinning on very low tension (enough so I could do 95-100 rep per min).

I believe both have there place in contest prep.

YUP! 30 minutes before breakfwast....mod. incline walk...watch the news and read the paper while u work up a sweat, great routine...then when I cut, I just bump it up to 45mins.....now, I'm bulking, so it's still daily, or 6x per week, but 25 mins is good enough...

But you gotta do it

gibberj2 · « **Reply #145 on:** July 31, 2006, 07:29:13 PM »

Nah Serge Nebret didn't do it, Vince Taylor doesn't do it and in the 02 Olympia I heard them say Dexter Jackson doesn't do it. If it's for fatloss just eat cleaner and train hard. If it's for health... TRAIN HARD your heart pumps when you lift weights too.
