+ 3 Cardio ideas outside the treadmill
Happy Friday friends,
I've been thinking about cardio ideas and what has worked for me in the past. If y'all know me on here you know I came in to Eroids with a self image, was given great advice for putting weight on, as I was pretty skinny in areas. Went from 200 morning weight to 230ish morning weight. In about a year. Obviously some if not even half of it is water weight from bulking agents. Now it's time to lean back down before summer and then turn back around and bulk again to end 2018. To really see what solid muscle gains I made this year I need to cut and see where I end weight wise. If I cut and end up at 215, 220 then I am happy. Because starting a next bulk at 220 vs 200 leads me to believe I can again reach a new weight I have never seen, per say 245 this time, then by 2019 at this time I can cut and end at 230 cut. See where I am going? Maybe a pipe dream, but none the less it's a personal goal to hit 250. Back to the post and what cardio means to me, as I hate cardio and being on tren kills my lungs and in return my endurance.
To get honest advice on here you have to be honest about what your running so to give an idea, here is what my summer cut cycle starting around feb25 will look like:
Cut blend per CC: 100mg tren ace/75mg test prop/50mg mast. This is a blend by a domestic source here. I will be running 1cc 3x a week. I will be adding mastE @400mg a week as well w/adex on hand. I also have prami on hand. Shouldn't need an AI with a decent mast total, but will monitor bloods every 4 weeks.
So back to the original post, wtf to do for cardio. Let's be honest, after killing the weights for an hour min stop it's easy to walk by the stair master and say fuck you. But, I'm trying to get the cardio 3x a week, so who has ideas for cardio besides your typical treadmill or stair master. Would love to hear what you guys/gals are doing for cardio because I'm seeing pictures and a lot of y'all are fucking shredded with veins going nuts.
Thanks!

Area-1255Climbing a hill with a backpack of stones! ...or Farmer's Walk. With ice and stones in each container.
ClassyChassisYou might want to consider cardarine gw 501516. It might help negate some of the tren cardio effects, as well as work synergistically as far as fat loss. Something worth researching I'd say. There was some evidence about it promoting cancer but the doses they used were 500-1000 times more than a human would take so...
RustyhookerCut stack cant be pinned 3x a week. 48hrs and the gear peak is a cliff. Eod means eod.
Adding mast e imo a waste of mast e. 4 weeks to peak and how longs your cycle? By week 8, im fried.
If ya have to have a 4th item, id use an oral. Saw palmetto so your prostate doesnt flip out. Food will mean 100% here of course.
Hiking. On tren keep hikes on a flatter surface. I head towards 5000ft above sea level and walk dogs around lakes. Bring taurine incase back pumps hit
Rusty, thanks for the advice. Eod it is, I've always did the m/w/f thing but I see where after a month I've missed 4cc then by the 2nd month that's 8cc.
When you say fried by week 8 what do you mean? Physically and mentally? I've never ran mast E. I've always ran mast prop or proviron. Thanks for the advice, night have to drop the mastE.
Would you recommend anavar or winny for cutting while on a cut mix. Or a different oral all together?
I'm going to be at a Man camp for 14on 7off. I'm going to find a good place to walk or hike out there for work. I wish I could get some 5k ft altitude, miss the Colorado Rockies. Taurine is the shit, I read an article or comment you wrote one time and how even a monster energy drink in a pinch, that shit works.
Thanks Rusty!
RustyhookerYessir, those levels being even in your blood avoids the hormone drops and surges.
Fried meaning my thinking starts getting a lil funny at week 6ish. I get introverted and sometimes a jealous thought process that makes no sense. The mental battle basically. Pct gets harder too. I go 6 weeks after tren. 4 for me was too short.
I like anavar. It will squash hunger but the strength boost is nice. As if tren didnt already boost it thru the roof. Lol. The tren cut stack is plenty strong alone. But you can see this as a fast acting option. Var lowers sex binding hormone as well. More free test.
The mast idea.... if you like to bump mast up then mast prop fits right into your scenario. It wont take a big cc amount to match the tren dose. And youre not stuck waiting for it to kick in. If estro is too low, you can use a slight adjustment and make changes.
With the work and walk/hike combo i think youll do fine. Treadmill is nothing more than a walk without scenery.
Good luck bro! Kick ass!
Thanks Rusty! Going to add some Var and mast P vs the mastE, that way if I start getting paranoid it's not a two week ride. I will keep ya updated when the cut cycle starts.
RustyhookerExciting!!

I bought the DeskCycle. I hate cardio and that’s the only way I get in my hour of daily LISS is if I can watch a movie or football game while doing it. You can push yourself pretty hard on that thing. I like it.
Those desk cycles look pretty thrifty. Can you turn the resistance up on them? Thanks broski
Yeah, from 1 to 8. I’m up to 5 and it’s pretty challenging to hit 20 miles in an hour long session. Sweats me right through my clothes, so… it’s just like real cardio lol
Damn, that's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the advice big dog.
Also some BJJ!! It’s fun, stress relieving & great cardio!
Haha I'll PM you a funny BJJ story.
I’ve had a rough day so I can use the humor!!
You got access to a pool? Great for shoulder and back help and is a component of rehab for both of those areas. Also there’s nothing that builds endurance like it because of the whole holding your breath underwater part. You’ll notice the benefit when you get into supersets.
I do for 7 days a month or so, just took a job where the only gym in town will be a planet fitness. I'll miss swimming. Good stuff bro
I’m stuck at PF due to their flexible hours. I workout between 04:30 & 05:00 & no one else is open that early right now. I hate the pop music & I think bad thoughts sometimes about the stupid people doing stupid stuff... but it works!
I just did my first work out there, got a 10 min tan in too haha. When you go from lifetime fitness to planet fitness, it's like trading in a 4x4 for a Ford ranger. But I ain't a snob so I get after it wherever lol. Just hope I don't set off a lunker alarm, here people get off on that
Boom^^^*
Wingates
Googling now. Thanks big dog.
Its hell on earth fella. But the afterburn is unreal. 4 min sessions 2 or 3 times a week only. Keep your joints and dont waste time. If no wingate machine just use a spin bike
They sre a killer but fat literally melts away
Enjoy!
Shit looks like I may throw up at first. Going to give it a go. Do you do this early AM on an empty stomach ?
Yeah its vicious
Nah not really. When i am doing a lot of high intensity/strength work i will do it at end of weights seasion
But if i am in hypertrophy mode i will seperate by a few hours am or else pm or else do session on day off
It will give you a solid 2 hour afterburn if you go 100% to complete failure
I hate running as my left ankle was destroyed in college sports. 2-3 days a week I do 25 minutes of tabata formatted rope workouts. Not only is the cardio amazing, you also get a great pump in your upper body.
Right now, just bending over to tie my shoes is a pretty good workout.
Or pulling off a wife beater soaked in sweat. The panic response when it won’t come over your head has got to burn a few kcals
Thats why I wear crocs lmao
Gotta get them pull up shit kickers
I got slip-ons now but I still have to put on my sneakers when I get to the gym.
You make q good point.
Mostly I just walk my dog and there's a beach not too far from me where I jog too .
Man I need to move to the coast. Thanks Irish
Sounds like you need a good routine of gettin it on~
Cardio doesn't have to suck...but maybe she could?! Gettin down 3x a week could not only improve your cardio but is also good exercise for your libido. Nothing better than getting a good pump at the gym...and at home!
Can you talk to my wife about this for me lol. She's six months prego, she is horney all the time but she is also uncomfortable lol.. good advice though!!!
Both are definitely great!!
AnonGet a 160lb Muay Thai heavy bag and throw it on a mat, proceed to beat the shit out of the bag for 5 minutes and you'll be more exhausted then you've ever been. Mat training with a bag or partner is by far the best cardio you can receive.
I don't do so well bending over and getting on the ground. It would take me 5 minutes just to get up if no one was there to help me. Good workout though.
AnonOnce I'm down, im good. But getting down and getting up are a little awkward, I kinda fall to the ground and getting up takes a roll to the side, push up with my elbow then grunt a little while rocking myself up. I know the reason but I try to make it look cool.
Holly hell that sounds killer broski
AnonIt's definitely a killer, first time I started doing it about 10 years ago I was fatigued in the first 30 seconds. Now days I can go pretty hard for a solid 2 minutes before doing submission techniques to rest a little, then go back at it for another 2 minutes. Kinda like having sex with my ol lady I reckon, 2 minutes gettin it, 3 minutes slowly thinking about socks and grandma's, then 2 more minutes of gettin it. Then done.
Really man? That’s sick bro!! What are you doing thinking about socks weirdo??
Anonhaha, my dog eats socks and then yacks then up. I figure I'll last a little longer.
Elliptical is my favorite & works better with my knees. I also do like Mak & walk a lot. It works good for me especially since I live on a hill!
Take the dogs for a walk in the morning. Used to run with them but now running doesn't agree with my joints. Just need to get your heart rate elevated a little bit for a half hour or so. Snowshoeing is nice in the winter now.
Walking/ jogging with the dog in my primary go to for cardio. He’s ten, and still thinks he’s a puppy, so it’s at least working for one of us.
Roger that. Unfortunately I didn't get snow where I live.
basskiller89I'm trying to get up to your size brother
I think outside the box a lot. Cardio is simply your heart rate being elevated, causing an energy expenditure. If cardio is not something you are big on there are alternatives. It may sound a bit silly but taking a 30 minute bath and re heating the water can burn just as many calories if not more than the stairs. You would need to wear a heart rate monitor or manually take your pulse. But, the hot water will raise your internal temperature which in response will raise your heart rate. You could sit back in a tub of hot water and maintain an elevated heart rate the same as you could busting your ass on the stairs. I have for sure gotten my heart rate to 160 bpm steadily for 30-45 minutes using this abstract idea. Granted, the stairs can be more fun and there is a sense of accomplishment, but on those days you can't pull yourself to get through it consider the alternative
Shoot, I'll try this out. I'll get back to this post.
