Cardio + good genetics.
My HDL has always been decent...even when running Tren which is the harshest thing I have ever been on. But even then it never dropped out of the 30's. I have never done orals.
Back when I was out of the gym and couldn't weight train...all I did was cardio and really watched my diet. I stayed pretty lean even though I dropped 40+ lbs. A lot of carb limiting.
But I remember one of my test results during some blood work at the time. I weighed a whole 162 lbs!
The test flagged my total cholesterol as being slightly high...but the breakdown was HDL was 70, Tryglycerides 55, LDL 136, Vldl 11. Doctor told me not to worry as the ratio was fine.
I have also read that Vitamin D can contribute to substantial rise in HDL (20+ points)...but that it takes it awhile to do it.
