Hey guys just wondering......... How much cardio per week if you are looking to build mass and are a "hardgainer?"
Im lean 9 % bodyfat.
What reasons?Yes. For health reasons at least some cardio is important
What reasons?
Weighlifting does that.Well cardiovascular health is important in my opinion at least
Weighlifting does that.
How do you feel after 4 sets of 10 rep deads

Why even bother burning excess cals if you are a self proclaimed hard gainer? Seems counterproductive to your goals, right? Cardio is only for fatties and homosexuals.
Intense resistance training will raise your heart rate and burn more cals than some faggy stair-stepper will.
Yes that's what I thought. I can feel my heart rate skyrocket when I am lifting so no real need to do excess cardio after lifting weights. Cardio is all about cardiovascular exercises, getting your heart rate higher for a long period of time so you burn fat when doing exercise. If your heart rate has increased you are burning fat. No matter if you are lifting or on the treadmill. Weight lifting burns calories and fat on its own. I lift 90-120 minutes when I am in the gym. I think that will get the job done keeping my heart healthy enough.
Weight lifting is not cardio.... If all you care about is your body fat and not how you function in everyday life that's fine. but if you want to be able to do anything athletic like flag football with your buddies, ultimate frisbee on the beach, basket ball, hiking, mt bike riding hunting at high elevation, basically any sport you will find out real quick you are not doing cardio by lifting weights.... go riding with me and I could have you throwing up in the first couple miles..... hell even sex is better when you cardio is up.
I am using exercise to be in good shape. I am not looking to be a long distance runner or cyclist. I want to build muscle and look good. When I walk in a room I want women to cream their panties and go in the bathroom and masturbate over thoughts of me in their heads.

what did you or your doc use to measure your bf?
Cardio makes you better in the type of cardio you are doing. You are efficient in bike riding because you ride a bike a lot. (I am guessing thats what you meant by riding.) It doesnt necessaritly translate to other activities such as running.Weight lifting is not cardio....

Cardio exercise directly correlates to the use of oxygen to support your body need for energy...basically how efficiently your body uses oxygen(lungs and heart)... your cardiovascular system is you circulatory system ... so I'm not sure how that is sport specific..Cardio makes you better in the type of cardio you are doing.

Better cardiovascular challenge ?
Snort crushed dexedrine then LHJO or 30 mins on the elliptical while watching "the view" on the gyms TV?
That sounds like something I could get into. with self strangulation of course

Lol test it out? I've been an athlete my whole life. I've lived it.. hockey, swimming, waterpolo, rugby, mt.biking, triathlons, mens flag football league... that's what your trying to tell me makes no sense.Activity specific.
Test it out if you care to really know.
If not then I understand. No ax to grind.
Cardio has been overblown since late late 90's.
