hey id say cardio 3 days a week. Iam doing a show in may Iam not realy planning on going overboard on cardio like the past this time around. I plan on letting my diet do most of the work with abosulutly no cheating. my body type is also a meso/endo

 

[Mr_Magoo]

it sounds more like an endo if you were 19 % bf

 

[KevinJames]

Yes if u are around 19% BF , you are a true Endo . Id throw in some moderate intensity Cardio now at 3x a week

 

[ryan]

I agree with kiwi

But I always do 16 wks of cardio and that may be the reason I come in lighter than I really want to but I just always want to do well.
I'll say at 19% BF though you should start a minimum of 14 wks out and do at least an hour a day 5 times a week. I also suggest not to wait to late to start the hard part of the diet 12 wks out vary your carbs from 70 to 0 grams you can take in some fats like a couple scoups of peanut butter a day to compensate and your body will be tricked into thinking your not really dieting.

 

[ryan]

what do u mean vary my carbs????? vary the sources????

nope

he means vary the range from 70 down to 0 carbs. Carb timing/manipulation is essential imo. For instance, all carbs after weight training, or some before/some after, etc... You can cycle it on a daily basis as well. Say Monday you hit chest/back, have carbs before the workout and after, then don't consume anymore until the following days cardio session has been complete. You get some added benefit of restoring some muscle glycogen/fighting cortisol release, and then you blood sugar will be low enough by the following day that you will burn up fat substrates during your cardio session more efficiently.
