i think ill quit dieting, and just do massive cardio to get ripped

[nclifter6feet6]

ive gotten to the point to where ive dieted down. ive gotten ripped. but the road to ripdness has never been easy. ive been there done that. and i cant stay ripped year round while eating like a bird all the time because it flat out sucks. so im thinking im going to eat whatever i want and just do as much cardio as i can possibly handle sacrificing muscle too. but im just gonna see how this goes i plan on doing 5 miles or more per day everday and maybe some sprints too. and if five miles isnt enough ill keep upping it while hitting each bodypart once per week(only lifting wieghts 2 times per week half body on one day half body on next day)

Nice discipline there, sweetheart. Can't hack dieting cause you want a widdle cookie? Jeez.

i dont think its worth feeling hungry and shitty all day when all u gotta do is kick out an hour per day of hardcore cardio. i mean its good for the heart and good for the lungs perfect for calves. and get to eat anything. and plus my muscles always look fuller when im carbed up to they look a hell of alot bigger. i plan on hitting the stairs at the stadium today.

i mean whats the point of always dieting.....to just get fat again, when u come off the diet???????????????/

also, afterall its pretty much how all football players train. they lift weights some but mostly do sprints at practice. LOTS of sprints and they are big and huge and eat whatever

well if you're sick of one thing, you're eventually going to get sick of the other soon enough.

So with that in mind, just plan on doing things the tried and true way in phases. You're sick of dieting, then hey, winter's coming, start packing on muslce and then when youre tired of doing that, you'll be mentally refreshed to diet again and lose the fat you may have gained. No reason to go avant garde and eat like a pig (to gain mass) and do mass cardio(to lose mass) and expect everything to work out right. You'll just get pissed int he end when it don't work out. Like I said if you're bored take some advice and change up, but change up the right way.

Dieting is not as catabolic as all that running you're planning to do. In other words, the two are not interchangeable. My guess is that you will get smaller and flabbier.

I think as long as you don't go totally nuts on food, your plan will work. In fact, I think this is better than simply dieting to lose fat. You get many more benefits:

1) burn a shitload of cals doing cardio, and you get an elevated BMR for hours afterwards

2) you get the benefits of the "thermogenic effect of food"; i.e. the calories your body burns digesting the food itself

3) you improve your cardiovascular health

The only reason I couldn't do such a program is b/c of the time it'd take to do all that cardio. But if you can hack, I say go for it. Good luck!

I'd do sprints in the morning, then 5 miles late at night. You said once you worked construction right?..that will def burn some calories. But you do know that once the body senses that you are burning so many calories compared to what you take in (over 1000 kcal deficit) it will react by slowing your metabolism at other points in the day to make up for deficit and start hoarding food which means a net fat loss for the day of 0....

NC you should look for the post on this board made by someone in the anabolic forum about fukkenshredded's training from Anabolic Fitness. He eates burgers, etc does real intense cardio and doesnt go above 8 all year..I think you'd like it.

Running 5 miles a day?!

Kiss your muscles goodbye!

If you meet someone who does 5 miles a day or see a 5 mile a day jogger you will know exactl what I mean.
