Is it possible to do too much cardiovascular?
I don't do a lot of cardio right now due to the fact that I don't wanna burn off too many calories. high quality and quanity calories is what brings on the mass along with a good routine and rest. Rite now I only run 1 day a week, on my leg day. So it depends on what you're going for mass or cut. If you wanna cut down I would sugest no more than an hour of cardio at a time. If you wanna do more cardio try 2 a days. just don't burn yourself out tryin to do too much too fast. Results take time.
I do a lot of cardio, primarily it is high intensity explosive stuff with a prowler, kettlebells, hill sprints, or other stuff that improves cardiovascular performance but also seemingly builds muscle. Low intensity running/jogging I am not a fan of. I have done some lower intensity sled work (hooked up some straps to a sled and did presses, curls, tricep extensions, rows, stuff like that) and it got me pretty lean and I did it everyday with beneficial effects on strength, size, and recovery. I have also done brisk morning walks (before eating anything for the day, I did take 10 grams of BCAA though) everyday with good results. I would just avoid jogging personally.
OE2000Thanks bros............... you guys know whats up?
...the kid is 20 (and 'probably' juicing) so it's pretty much implied that he's a massive twat (LOL)
OE2000Thanks Majiks.... Im tired of this guy ripping ppl for nuthing.....
stfuandliftbtchim ripping for stupidity... obviously
the only stupid question is the unasked one, kid... this is NOT a BB site but a review site and we have ppl here for countless reasons at several different stages... and by being a DICK to them you may run them off from the only place that could keep them from seriously fucking themselves up... I'm sure your cool and funny to ur other 20yr old juiced up knucklehead friends but that shit don't float here. we take this stuff seriously. you want to talk shit, take it to off topic.
...and trust me, Sarge has u beat on knowledge AND experience
stfuandliftbtchsgtstedankoI know him:( I heard he's a real douchebag; he's actually like 25, doesn't workout at all, never juiced a day in his life, he's really just trying to kill time between masturbation sessions. But my mom thinks he's a catch : ) I actually sometimes do a shitload of cardio for work sometimes, and when I asked this question, had just read a study that running more than an hour starts to burn muscle:( I actually started taking more bcaa, beta alanine & protein before & after. Doing good since I started; haven't noticed any muscle loss. Thanks for keeping things interesting. Please comment on some of my loaded ques
Anonwe all KNOW that bodybuilding in this venue refers to the SPORT. There are many people who are HERE for many OTHER reasons, here are a few: Testosterone Replacement, Military members, MMA guys, Basketball players, in fact rumor has it that people in the world series of poker are on this site and taking ... . hopefully we are all here to help each other out..not kick each other when were down.
BostonWow wsop guys? For real? Thats very interesting. I'm a huge poker fanatic. Love the game. Didnt know they were juicing though lol.
OE2000LOL.... haven't you seen those poker guys go into roid rage after dropping 300K .... I'd loose it over 30 bucks!!!
stfuandliftbtchthats a dumb question when you dont explain what the goals are. bulking? getting lean? marathon runner?
OE2000I've noticed your criticism on alot of members here .... we are not all as (Perfect) as you ..... maybe you need to downgrade everyone for your own personal boasts.... or maybe your a stinker in the toilet???? Help us ... be as (Godlike) as you .... for we are not worthy!
stfuandliftbtchim just telling them as it is...call me Honest Abe...i say what goes through my head, if i think its fucking retarded, i say it...and you are right, i'll try and get you close.
BostonYou're a punk dude. If you ordered gear from me id piss in it. You wont last long around here, this is a great community with many kind gentleman and ladies. No need to be a dick.
stfuandliftbtchhahah i call it a dumb question when..blah blah blah..and im a punk?
this is you on the Bosu ball huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04viLYhy5xs&feature=related
p.s. wouldnt buy from you
hey bro, we try and maintain a sense of community around here. if u can't contribute without being a dick THEN DON'T CONTRIBUTE!
OE2000Oh and please do.... you must be the Inspector Clone....815lb jackass in a 65lb body!
Why not 30-40min is ok.Cardio helps the blood circulation ,so the result is more veins better pump.But when we talk about cardio we dont mean 30 walking like a dead{the most of people do this for 1hour} the treamell {my opinion and i check it for my results} must be 10km/hr and up exept you H.I. {5min walk 2-3min fast runing like sprinders}!
AnonIf you are trying to save lean muscle then yes,there is such a thing, however, as dawg has pointed out, we have NO idea what your goals are. So, therefore, your question cannot be answered without giving us more information.
Your question makes no sense. If you are running and you die because your heart stopped then you did too much cardio.
Try describing your workout routine, diet, gear, and goals for a better response.
sgtstedankoLOL!Yeah,I guess that if I died it would be too much:)I hope that I'd stop before then.My goal is to have as healthy and strong of a heart as possible,burning any fat,without losing ANY muscle.And being more flexible.I read that doing cardio past 60 minutes starts to burn muscle,and I wondered if that's true,or anyone could clarify?Maybe I should have just asked that.Cause up until recently I'd never heard that before&Ican't afford to lose any muscle.I see a whole lot of knowledge readily available,which is a good thing.Figured if I ask the ques,somebody would know.If I take in enough protein,etc.Should be OK right?
Right now routine.
Bike 5 to 20min at increasing levels per minute on a Life fitness recumbent bike.
Five cycles of
- Squats - 30
- Lunges - 20 / leg
- Calves - 34 per leg
- Regular push-ups, 10-12
- Regular crunches, 10
- Wide push-ups, 10
- Reverse crunches, 10
- Weighted mason twist, 10
- Bicep curls,Hammer,reverse, 10
- Dumbbell Clean and Press, 10
- Triceps push-ups, 10
- Left/right crunches, 10 each side.
- Weighted circles, 10
- Pullups - to failure
- hike for 10-20 miles w/at least 50lbs in a rucksack once every 2-6 months or so: Lately it's been the later.
Pretty soon Gear will be 60mgAnavar ED,25-50mg proviron ED,25+clenED,with supps Milk Thistle, Liv 52 DS, hydroxycut first thing in the morning w/a liter of cold water, green tea extract,maybe creatine,heard that it was worthless? 2 multivitamins per, cranberry extract, MRM CLA1250,& MRM Smart blend,ZMA. etc.&Hopefully On top of aforementioned exercises I'll be doing P90x as well as sprinting 5-10min off&on.2days per.W/1day per week@gym doing whichever muscle group I didn't work hard enough that week"if any",2-4sets ea exercise to Absolute failure.Or I'll just swim and relax sitting in the hot tub,steam room,etc.Diet-total fat intake I TRY to stay under 30% of calories,around 100-200 grams protein.Protein bars, powder,shakes,etc,egg whites,chicken,turkey,tuna,salmon,blue hake.Carbs,Steel cut oats,sweet potatoes,fruits(apples,berries,grapefruit,bananas,leafy green vegetables,shredded wheat.Dairy 3-4 times per week,usually cottage cheese,or yogurt. Thanks for any and all input,help,&knowledge you, or anyone else has to offer~
That's somewhat better. Suggestions:
1. dump all the sups except the creatine because that's useful when on anavar. the rest are a waste of money.
2. if you are using clen, you don't need green tea, or hydroxycut
3. you can't possible do too much cardio on a recumbent bike, I do 90 mins on a spin bike with ass out of the seat, and I've gained 5lbs of muscle this last cycle
4. var and proviron are going to be mostly a waste of money (and will shut down your natural testosterone production which can be counter productive) unless you have a base of testosterone in the cycle- recommend at least 150-200mg test-c or test-e per wk. there's a reason no serious athlete or bodybuilder does oral only cycles. If you can't do the testosterone, do not do the proviron. No testosterone and you will lose muscle doing all this.
5. get at least 1 - 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight spread out during the day. this should include 30grams whey only before and after workouts- especially cardio since it is rapidly absorbed and anti-catabolic. Casein protein should be used before bed up to 50 grams because it has the slowest absorption rate.
I would say that depends on the person and their goal. Example-when cutting I do 6 days a week cardio with my lifting; when bulking I gauge my cardio need on how lean my diet is keeping me, usually about 3 times a week. 30 min on elyptical is enough for me each session. If cardio is cutting into gains or slowing recovery then yes it will be too much, but each persons body I'd different.
dansta123agree totally..yet im addicted to my mountain trail hikes..so much fit female bum to walk behind at...
