Cardio - counterproductive

[madmoneymike]

People are lazy so they make excuses not to do cardio. High blood pressure, kidney damage, high RBC, and "fat ass syndrome" are all from not doing cardio.

What most lifters don't get: weight training doesn't do shit for your cardiovascular system even if your heart rate is constantly elevated, unless you are doing very high paced circuit training, which no one is.

I do 20min in the AM every day for maintenance, if I'm leaning out I up it to 30min+

Benefits of cardio: faster recovery (better blood flow when not working out), more energy to lift harder in the gym, higher metabolism, higher blood volume, lower blood pressure, lower resting heart rate.

Haha well said. Fat ass syndrome
