Question for Lee about Contest Prep
« on: July 03, 2006, 12:44:27 PM »
Hi Lee,

I have read in one of Bob Chicherillo's articles that all bodybuilders do their precontest cardio at a low intensity (i.e. walking about 3mph, or cycling at a slow pace) for around 45min a day.  I guess I could see this working for the heaviest of bodybuilders such as Ronnie because you burn more calories walking when you weigh 280-300lbs as opposed to say 170lbs. But as a bb at a much lower weight does it work for you?  I only weigh about 170lbs and I don't carry alot of muscle but I do want to cut my bodyfat down from 15% to the single digits without losing what little I do have.  How would you suggest I perform cardio from your experience?  I hear you are THE MASTER of getting rid of offseason bodyfat so I just had to ask.  Thanks

BTW:  I agree that people should post under their real names (what's the harm?). My name is Steven.

You and everyone else reading have a great 4th too.  Avoiding the "c-word" has made me a better man.  I am just taking it one day at a time. :)
