Type of Cardio while on AAS?

[Massondeck]

Hey all,

Im just curious from personal experience what the best kind of cardio is when you're taking AAS. I realize that you lose a higher percentage of fat from low intensity cardio but it takes a way longer duration then doing moderate to high intensity for shorter periods of time. Also I read a study that the best fat burning zone is 63% VO2 Max which for me calculates out to me 146 bpm, but everyone is different because it takes into consideration your resting heart rate, age, etc. I was 7point calipered to be at 4.59 percent body fat the other week, but I dont believe it. I think im around 6.5-7.5% bodyfat. I always have the hardest time getting the last bit of bodyfat off because I know my body wants to hold onto it so much. Basically what has worked for you PM guys, to get from the ~7% down to 4-5%. My cardio and diet are spot on. I do 30 min of cardio in the morning, and I lift in the afternoon. So per week, I do about 8-9 30 min cardio sessions and workout 4-5 times/wk.

I forgot to add when I do low intensity my heartrate stays around 112-120. Is that correct for low intensity?

This is almost similar to asking what is the best way to lift weights while on AAS...there are many ways to do things as far as cardio. Usually if I do low intensity I will just do more of it compared to doing interval training...I don't really call it HIIT because imo true HIIT is a complete workout in and of itself and a lot of people really don't know how intense and difficult it's supposed to be...true HIIT is personally something that I wouldn't do because it would take too much energy away from my lifting, ESPECIALLY while in a caloric deficit.
