thanks bulldog karma for you

Satch-how can you say not to do cardio?
I have been doing cardio 5 times per week at different levels for the past few months... I'm getting stronger, getting bigger, and burning fat

As long as you are on some gear and you get the right nutrients, little to no muscle will be lost.

I think its idiotic not to do cardio

when you're on the juice in a slightly different ballgame.

cardio indeed wont be as catabolic as if you were naturally training. however, even with the juice cardio will burn muscle. sure you'll gain it right back within no time since you're on the sauce but dont fool yourself into thinking that cardio isn't somewhat catabolic.

and by the way... that's not only my opinion but also.....

PROVEN SCIENTIFICALLY.

Who the fuck cares?

I do HIIT 4-5 times a week and hardly notice a difference in size and strength. Besides, even if it were catabolic, cardio has a host of benefits other than shedding fat that make it mandatory for me. Increased insulin sensitivity, improved blood pressure, and improved cardiovascular health..to name a few.

In my opinion everyone should do cardio whether bulking or cutting.

 

[WannaImpress]

neither.

cardio burns muscle. why would you wanna lose muscle?

satch I thought you were a big advocate of morning cardio? Don't you jump rope in the morning?

GOTCHA!

i think more imortant than what to eat is WHEN to eat.

timing of food intake is critical.

Also could elaborate a bit more on your statement above, when do you think are the most important times for your meals!

I think cardio and the amount soley depends on the diet your on. If you have a high carb intake then I think it is necessary that you do some cardio so that it is all not stored as fat. Im not saying an hour a day in the a.m. is the answer, I just think for overall health condition perspective that a little cardio like walking on the treadmill 20-30 minutes 3-4 days a week would help mentally and physically but that is just me. The muscle burned, if any, would be at a minimum.
