Based on the picture how much would you say I weight? Iam 6 or 6’1 (I can bench press 265 once and 225 x 8 can you tell?) If I want my abs to show more should I work them out or just do cardio and lower my bf?If cardio is the answear how often should I do it will it destroy my muscles or not.can you tell if my bf is high or low and do my arms look small when compered to rest of my body?(I just cant make them grow
Thanks in advance

[livebono]

your picture link isn't working

[livebono]

nevermind, now it is

[livebono]

I'd guess you to be at about 175 to 185, and in order to get your abs to show up better, definitely keep doing ab exercises, but add cardio as well, you need both

[marcink99]

thank you for the fast respont. Below is my split please advise me as where to put cardio in it.

M-legs
t-biceps-back
w-chest-triceps
thu-abs
fri-off
sat-off
sun-repeat

Also how often should i work on my abs is once a week enought?
ohh and i weight 172 I dont know why but i think that iam really small for my weight

Thank you for all the replys your help is very apreciated

[livebono]

you could probably get away with doing abs twice a week, as long as they are a couple of days apart

with the cardio, i do about 20 to 30 minutes 3 times a week after i lift

probably don't want to do the cardio after working legs though, just because your legs are already tired

[marcink99]

well is it true that cardio is bad a after workouts? I think i read somwhere that it should be done 8 hours before or after workout. Also would doing cardio make my arms smaller and grow slower?

it's worse to do cardio right before. I drink a protein shake right after lifting and then hit the cardio, if you can, it is best to do the cardio first thing in the morning, i just personally can't do that, but if you are able to, go with it

it wont have any effect on your arms, either, arms can be frustrating because so much of their size and shape is determined by genetics

If You Want To Gain Muscle Weight Avoid Cardio!

This guy talks about how cardio is not needed. He says that cardio is not needed to lose fat and that intense workout is better choice for geting rid of fat. What are your thoughts on it?

[livebono]

i took a look at the article and i disagree with him, first because he has no apparent credentials

second, it may be true about the bodybuilders that don't do cardio, but there are too many other factors to consider to use them as examples, because for every one bodybuilder that doesn't do cardio, 10 of them do

[marcink99]

looks like i will start doing cardio what post cardio meals would you recomend?

Since i want to lose bf would i be still able to dring cytogainer as a post training shake on the lifting days?

Thanks for all the replys

No problem, i would stop with the cytogainer, or take it at a different time of day

for post cardio meals, you will need carbs to replenish your muscles, but not too many if it's close to bedtime, i like chicken with some veggies and maybe brown rice
