People have commented on my physique. Love you coach Gregg. I think I will buy your friggin' cook book.

[@Sketchygaijin]

I was skeptical about not being as hungry after a long cardio session, but per usual you were right hahaha. It takes me a while to feel hungry after a workout, sometimes lunch is pushed back until 3:00pm-5:00pm depending on the day! Started four weeks ago at 295.2lbs, down to 282.8lbs

[@MikeBarbarossa]

"sore muscles" is not the best way to guage overtraining in cardio. Overtraining in cardio manifests it'self in the cardiovascular system. The long held tried and true test for overtraining lies in the inability to get your heart rate up to your typical levels on harder efforts. Watch your heart rate if you've been training a lot. If you are very adept at bike riding and swimming, and you go for a 5-10 mile run, your'e going to get sore due to the lack of muscale adaptation. So sore muscles in training cardio can be misleading

[@paulmb_uk]

Coach Greg helped me understand the importance of cardio, so now I’m enjoying a 30-minute spin class twice a week.

[@johnlouiepamintuan7295]

Thanks coach Greg. I've been following your tips for almost 3 yrs now especially for cardio. This is the video I need for my new cardio split because we just had a change of schedule here at work and I was worried that I could mess up my cardio sessions. My weight was 75kg last March and now I'm already at 68kg and can do Jogging at moderate phase for 90 - 120 minutes straight after lifting in the gym . I feel better than last time. Thanks Coach Greg!

[@JaapTedros]

Naah I agree with Coach Greg from the past, do the cardio you actually enjoy and can do for the rest of your life. Not something other people are telling you to do and you will possibly permanently quit after a few days/weeks. I love interval training (not HIT) on the threadmill, some walking, some running, it makes me feel like back in the day when I was playing a lot of sports. I burn a lot of calories this way, can keep it up for an hour per session, and can hit the weights right after for some full body training. I feel exercised enough to feel the runners high, but not so tired/sore that I can't do anything after. It's the perfect cardio for me. Stairs, bicycle, and most of the other machines on the other hand I can do for ~10-15 mins max until I get bored, sore, or absolutely hate my life.

[@ohwell808]

@@ozzie4306 Great question. I wouldn't say it was hard but it was challenging. There were some upsets that made stuff more difficult but I knew this path is something I want to pursuit in so I was determined to make it. But the course I took was 40 weeks long but there are other courses that lasts in between 3 months all the way to 6 months. But that is a class you need to pay for with your own money and I personally am not a fan of it since you need to add so much information within such a short span that it's not worth it in my books.

Top-notch video with quality tips. My current routine is push (Mondays) pull (Wednesdays) legs (Fridays), with incline treadmill walking 5 days a week. On days that I lift and do cardio, I'll lift first thing in the morning and do cardio late afternoon. I walk 30 minutes Mon-Wed-Fri, and 45 minutes Tuesdays and Thursdays - current settings are 10% incline with 3.5 MPH speed. My heart rate is squarely within Zone 2. If you're thinking about starting incline treadmill walking, the best tips I can give you are never hold the treadmill and start with an incline that you can walk on for 15 minutes before working your way up to 30+.

[@geekatari4391]

I have been doing tabata training, which is like a short, super burst HIIT that takes less than ten minutes. I do it three days per week, and it makes my heart want to run away from my body. I was doing them after resistance training, but now I do them in separate days because, short as it is, I drop dead after the last 20 seconds set. I have a stationary bike, I am going to try using it after resistance training because I recover faster from it. Thanks coach for this excellent video.

[@nephrusdf6]

I am way off from optimal for muscle growth. i work out 5-7 days a week which is more optimal for my mental health. I am aware also that when i do 7 days a week it is because many of the workouts i am able to get in are shorter and less intense than i would i have liked due to time constraints. I am not a young man and i do have lower test levels but i try to make sure i push myself as often as possible, including 10 mile bike rides(i try for twice a week)

[@jakeman025]

It’s all about getting into a routine…over the last 11 months I have made it apart if my routine to do my cardio all 7 days of the week no matter what kind of day I had. It’s to the point where I don’t feel right unless I get my cardio done. I go on average I would say about 90 mins a day and will give or take maybe 30 mins. I always do it on a fasted stomach as well and have been continuously improving my body composition. I went from 215 at my absolute worst at 5’9” with a small frame so it was more like 300 on a normal guy and now I’m down to 150. Im in the best mental and physical shape I’ve ever been in.

[@SuperMikeduran]

Hello coach Greg, I follow you for a few weeks, I did my very first natural bodybuilding competition, I even did it without taking any supplements, (yeah it was my personal challenge to see how far I can go). I did it during my masters 1 degree year and while working in a software company part time, it was absolutely amazing !!!! I did 6 out of 24 in classic physique !!! Now I stopped to focus on my studies, and I train like 4-6 times a week : 2-3 grit (strength and Cardio) with 2-3 lifting weight. I try to maintain the body I archievend , maingain, I try to watch calories During the competition I weight 80kg, now 87-88, I look perfectly for me… do you think I can maingain with that rythm (I follow the calorie intake, but I am not strict, I wanna eat what I want with moderation) I would be honored to have your advice. Thank you. Take care (Ps: I always go harder than last time during my grit, it’s my absolute favorite training !!! I JUST LOVE BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED in the end😂😂)

[@leehomer5125]

Great video coach. 💪🏼 Could you possibly do a resistance training masterclass next please? ⭕️

[@terminatortrainingmethod8168]

Great video Greg! However, I would use a few more metrics than "soreness" to gauge whether you're doing too much (e.g. stress levels, overall fatigue, gym performance decrements, appetite changes, sleep disturbance, resting AM heart rate, cardio improvements or plateaus, strength loss, joint pain, etc). I'm all about simplifying things, but this is a bit too rudimentary IMO. E.g. Some people get sore despite doing very little cardio (as you said in your example), and others do way too much but don't get very sore (despite it negatively effecting other aspects of their life/health). If anything, getting sore means you should probably do it more often but perhaps start with less intensity. Also, different cardio modalities result in different levels of soreness. Someone running 8 hours per week is going to be more sore than someone swimming, biking, & rowing for 8 combined hours per week. Also, losing gains in the gym from cardio doesn't necessarily mean you're doing too much. More often than not (extreme cases aside), eating too little is the culprit for cardio interfering with muscle gains. Adding cardio into your training plan requires more calories if you want to maintain, and especially gain muscle. Just a couple thoughts, take them or leave them.

[@mh8494]

imo the best cardio by far is cycling. especially when you're in a calorie surplus, that's when you can make the most gains in your thresh hold power and when you decide to cut weight you will have the advantage of high calorie burn rate.

Coach can you make a video about how much exercise someone can and how much should they train when after a period of resting after training hard for a season and gained muscle mass but due to resting time, the amount of calories goes down tremendously. And after training not hungry. Instead I feel lighter and I can feel how I'm hitting the chest muscle more than before, when I used to feel it more on the arms. Also form and supination tension went up. What should I do? Train another season harder then last time or should I enjoy the gains and focus on the fun.

[@kounaboy7011]

I know many people groan at that but I’ve absolutely loved it. I want to continue my morning runs/bike rides even after my show but then worried I’d be hindering my gains. But I do have an extra question that wasn’t really covered in your video- how will continuing cardio in the “improvement season affect the shredding phase weeks prior to a show to cut enough? The only option other than dieting harder would be to add even more cardio, correct?

[@magicandriches]

Can we have the same for lifting? How do you know you're doing too much? Are there smart parameters to keep in mind to keep yourself from pushing yourself too hard into injury (and ultimately sidelining progress)? - balance in program between free weights, machines, and challenging moves (for prioception, balance, accessory muscle strength, mobility, etc.) If you want to focus on physique gains? Will you ever do a gluten-free cookbook? Celiac-positive circles need gains, too! Bonus points if you can recommend a supp stack for females with no gluten? 🙏💕💪
