"It's all about diet, I don't even do cardio."

[rocksolid215]

Words from an aquantaince of mine that is absolutely ripped. He just says he hits his abs and body parts with the right high reps and eats very well, and there's no need for cardio.

Is this true or is it something that depends on genetics??

a little bit of both. because of genetics i am never over 7% bf no matter what. its a bitch to put on mass but my abs will always pop out and i am pretty ripped and vascular. i can eat whatever i want and i do not get fat. i know guys that are able to attain unbelievable physiques because of diet but only the ones that have ripped genetics can skip cardio

I can stay pretty damn lean via diet only, but I would rather eat shitty a few times a week, and just deal with the cardio 3 times a week

i NEVER do cardio. never have.
and except for one serious "bulker" i've never even been close to 10%, and i dont ever want to be anywhere near that again.
i maintain around 5-6% year round and i NEVER do cardio. guess one of the good things about being an ecto. the bad thing is that i'm a hard gainer and lucky now to get 5-10lbs out of a cycle. although they are all lean gains from now on, i do not do the "bulking" thing.
deca/eq is my weapon of choice, you've been warned bruce

i think my next will be your little eq/deca mix. a lot of bros seem to like that alot.

With the a very strict and clean calore controlled diet, based on carb cycling, or the like, combined with anabolics to hold onto muscle, it can be done.

Many pros do this, as it helps them hold onto muscle better, as they do not have the worry of tearing their body down thru cardio sessions (probably more fear than reality.) Many also use a little thermogenic help from Clen/ECA (and many use T-3 aswell) it is VERY possible!! I guy I know who trains with some NPC guys says this is along the lines of what they do.

really ? glad to hear it, cause as of now i havent heard anyone else condone my cycle. most people give me shit for not using test, and the rest are all deca haters anyway...

this cycle has proven to be the very best for my body. no sides at all, and i feel great the whole time. i may even try to stay on the eq for a whole year and cycle the deca on and off

 

[Bruce]

more and more no i hear bros running like 400 deca and 400 eq with their test instead of say 600 eq or deca

Its true some people have gifted genetics. Diet makes a HUGE difference no matter what way you look at it. A lot of people think cardio and they think biking, running, stairmaster, etc. What some people don't realize that cardio is just an activity that keeps the heart rate elevated to a certain level for a length of time. (I know...DUH...right?) Well I have known a few really ripped guys that would never step foot on a piece of cardio equipment. Besides a decent diet, they alter their workouts to keep thier heart rate up the whole time. Instead of a regualr rest period between sets, they would throw in a quick, high-intensity set of abs. This still gives the muscle group they are working the rest it needs but keeps the heart rate up. This is just one example...get creative.

i only do cardio when bulking, it really helps my recovery and it's relaxing

when i cut i'm already to bothered with eating fucking dork-food all the time so i skip the cardio... i do the drugs instead
