Thank you Gerby. That was in fact what I would've posted.

Also, calories are different from eachother, so things might be different based on your macros (things like mixing fats and carbs, insulin responses and such). All I'm saying is that it is a little more complex than what your chart suggests. When I "cleaned up" my diet, stopped mixing fats and carbs and following some other "rules" I started dropping weight even though I didn't decrease calories (I dropped about ten pounds of fat). A pound per week is a realistic goal, to be sure. Some of this mass will be fat and some will be muscle (even keeping bf% constant). However, these two substances are very different things.

Yeah, well I got my personal trainer and he did my whole diet, and all those rules are applied For example, I eat fat and carbs pre wo, EAA BCAA during, and protein post etc..... So I get on average 3400 cals a day, and do a variation between high GI and low GI carbs as well as high, low, and medium calorie days, so I should be pretty good with it and minimal weight gain...

x4 a week, plus a good hour or so of heavy petting a coupla times a day.

What about ZERO? If your diet is on point and your training is intense, cardio isn't necessary except for health......maybe 3-4 weeks out is when I'd start but I have done very little for about 8 months....sitting around 10%

4x a week.. You just have to love the way u feel after a good cardio session

[Irish_Rogue]

This thread has gone on a long time!

When I bulk I never cardio and can maintain 10% BF or less. When I cut it is 3x intense and 2x low.

, exercise the heart, it's the engine that powers the body. Heavy lifting with a body that can't handle a good session of cardio is like towing a motor home uphill with a Prius. Nobody ever died from a weak bicep.

screw cardio. eat clean and dont eat as much does a better job than eating sloppy and doing cardio to make up for the big mac
