Cardio suggestion

[rich_89]

Brother, I don't mean to be argumentative but I respectfully disagree. While cardio is an important tool, its diet thats key.

Dont be silly bro, feel free to disagree with me. My post isnt based on any science per se, it's just my opinion from what i've seen from others, and what happens to myself.

From my experience, all the guys who look really good, lean and ripped with good size, are the ones who do cardio as well (except for some exceptions who are naturally lucky)

I 100% agree that the diet has to be tip top - no argument there. But for those who have stubborn fat, for example around abs as the OP suggested or flabby bitch tits (that aren't gynecomastia, just a result from being overweight), I don't think simple weight training and good diet will remove this.

You need some intensity in the workout to remove it.

People wonder why they don't look good when they are eating well, lifting heavy and slamming a tonne of gear in as well.

The lack of some interval training is the reason. . . . It's an essential part of any training regime in my opinion.

Actually I would say its a lot more likely to be due to suboptimal state of health. I did interval training for 2 years and couldnt get anywhere near a 6 pack.

Now in 90 days with proper supplementation ive made more progress with a LOT less interval work than I did in the previous 2 years.

Personally I think some interval work is an important addition but I know plenty of people who are ripped and dont do any and many others who do a ton of it and cant drop the weight. The reason isnt because of the diet or the exercise but a body that has a sluggish thyroid and other hormonal imbalances due to lack of nutrients.


For the op, just goto the crossfit website and look at the various workouts, there are many that use weights and many than dont, try some of them.

This is a great thread, I finished an LGD cycle at the end of 2013 and its time to drop the increased bodyfat, however Im not wanting to sacrifice my hard earned gains, so the replies in here are very helpful. I have always performed cardio, but my stubborn area is my core as I hold weight pretty much there and no where else, its a bloody pain.........GW might be on the list to super charge my cardio and bodyfat drop!

I hate running, but I still do it. To spice up my cardio, I row, climb, bike.

Im doing an LG cycle at the moment. Ive been growing but have upped the cardio to walks/running and cycling to counter the water and fat. Carnitine has always helped me with fat loss.
