bbf what are your goals?stats? compete? evet been sub 6 %

Considering I've been out of the gym for 2 years and back in training natural for only 2 months, my goals are to lean out a bit, and slowly start working on gains in size once I reach around 10% bodyfat. Yes I've competed and yes I've been sub 6%. Training and goals are very different though when you are doing it natural. You do not have the same curve that drugs give you to make poor training choices or not put a great deal of thought into your training methodology.

I'm not trying to question your knowledge. I've been on the board a long time, and will give you props for the solid diet advice you've given out over the years. However even you have admitted in other posts that you suspect you've focused on staying lean too long and have issues now gaining size and even eating enough to put on enough size. It is very possible that the year round cardio could be a factor in that even for you.

Sure I used to do cardio precontest once I got under 10% bf, however I was on a great deal of anabolics that reduced catabolism, and looking back, I don't think it was as necissary as I believed it to be. There are plenty of guys out there, Bill Pearl even in his 70's comes to mind, who stay big and lean year round who do not believe in cardio at all.

good post and thnx for the props....no ? I have spent way too much time nitpickn and excessive cardio. we you are my bf.....1 bad morsel and the abs arre gone. that's over with. my sole focus with my coach is to gain 10 lbs this month. in an effort to do this...im passing on am cardio as its INCREDIBLE precontest but I know I lost a ton of mass doing it. @m also resting 3 days a week. hell I used to train two weeks atva time......cardio will be 4x this entire month.

however in 120 days I'm going back to daily cardio given that I am piushing 190lbs......sittn at 7 % right now with full six pack and etched oblichs......i hope to stay under 10 % and hopefully will do so with diet only............for now its only clomid igf and aimf wrll c what I got in store for the future........hell with tren prop and masteron in my drawer gettn stale.....i should have zero worries about coming back even sharper....4 % think?
