thanks ANDRO

hey man...thanks for stopping in...i'm glad you liked them...it's a very brutal intensity technique...moving something not moving, that's true strength

How often are you doing cardio?

hey man...i do cardio twice a week...on Tuesday's i do occluded cardio for 30 minutes and on Sunday i do HIIT sprints on a recumbent bike/elliptical.

I hate you and your ectomorphic body.

we'll see if it lasts...i think a lot of it had to do with me having a very productive offseason...doing cardio year round and doing a very long slow diet before contest prep...i wanted to start prep lean...i also slowly increased my kcals 10 weeks prior to contest prep and got my metabolism rocking...the last time i did contest prep, i did about an hour of cardio every single day...i think if you keep things together in the offseason, it helps tremendously

i think most people use offseason as an excuse to pig out, they also see it as build as much weight as possible rather than build quality

i have fallen into that trap before...never again...i had this vision that i needed to be a certain weight...which isn't true...so many people think they're going to come in ripped at a natural show at 215 or 220, when in reality 99.9% of the time...they won't. most every shredded nattie is 190 and under.

Yeah I hear ya... I guess I was jokingly complaining about your ectomorphism because you can do cardio twice a week and still get lean

And your ability to maintain a high-carb diet is awesome... I'm sure it keeps your energy levels up, which helps with maintaining your muscle mass.

I couldn't imagine doing lunges that heavy, pure strength! Good job pushin through on the squats, the difference between how you feel when you know you could have done it but gave up compared to how you feel when you know you could have quit but kept going is what seperates the boys from the men.
