I do cardio because it makes me feel good, balanced and I have less anxiety. This is fine cause I’m not competing in body building shows. You don’t need to train exactly like these guys who compete. Do what makes you look AND feel good, WHILE improving longevity.

Exactly. I've had COVID almost two years ago and it took so many months to recover from that. And after that my stamina has been sooo goddamn low, I couldn't even hike for just a few kilometres just until I started the gym 2 months ago. It feels great to have a working heart and lungs again and actually feel them getting stronger

Your tripping foo. For me it's meal preping. I am not over eating. I have a eating disorder, so if I don't control myself especially when I'm high. I will over eat because I always feel like I'm never full when I eat. Back then when I was 25 it was cool to eat whatever I want. I'm 30 now and now I really got to learn how to control it. It sucks.

[@Mattscomicart]

Terrible advice. If you are giving your body enough protein and calories to recover, you can absolutely train twice per day naturally. Chest and back, shoulders and arms, Legs and weak body part you’re trying to build up. The body adapts to what you put it thru. If you’re eating enough calories, and protein, and training smart and leaving your ego at the door, you can train twice a day no problem.

[@ZA-im5bq]

@@Mattscomicartif you train with high intensity (what you should do to build muscle) you will not be able, physically, train two times a day. And your argument on enough calories and protein: No, they don’t increase recovery speed or recovery ability. It is just more energy to build muscle, nothing to do with recovery.

[@cooledry]

​@@Mattscomicart He literally talks about hitting the same parts twice a day, not different parts. And sure, you absolutely can hit chest twice a day if you want it, but it will also stunt hypertrophy. There are no amount of calories or bro science here that will change that.

Cardio exercise has very little to do with fat loss. Diet, diet, diet. I lost 50lbs in less than 6 months and did no cardio at all. I changed my diet. Eat more (and smarter) and weight train hard. The fat will burn off you. Busting your ass on static cardio on a treadmill will do nothing for you.

Well you're trying to lose weight. So Skip the weights. I'm trying to bulk to combat my fast metabolism so I'm skipping the cardio. Simple.

Yeah, leave your heart out of it, the most important muscle.

In my experience, light intensity cardio (hiking in the mountains a couple times per week) helped me in my hypertrophy phases. As a powerlifter, ive also noticed i get stronger while being active, as long as it isnt too intense and I am recovered enough between sessions. Increase calorie intake if you start doing cardio and your goal is to get bigger.

"Keep your stress levels down" is under rated..

You’re the man!!

Keeping the stress level down... the most difficult part

[@ukguy]

Your heart is also a muscle, the most important one.

If you are natty and eat all your macros and calories, you will need cardio to burn fat and have pace to workout. JAY always used GH and testo, that's why he didn't feel he needed cardio.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Uhh no. If you need to lose fat, eat in a deficit. Simple as.

[@voce3337]

​@@user-he4ef9br7zIt's not only about loosing fat, It's about have cardio to workout, for example squat, in a high intensity.

[@voce3337]

​@@user-he4ef9br7zIf you eat in deficit you don't grow muscle. Simple as that.

"stress levels" are the reason I go to the gym, Jay.

[@Glassprizon]

Thanks Champ! 🏆

[@jarrodkunjka]

I love how when jay speaks of everything that has been proven to be less effective then low volume intensity and no one say anything

[@GZUP90]

I do cardio for the mental aspect . It makes my mind ready for the day. I can lift all day and still have anxiety and brain fog , maybe it's just me

[@williambilinski]

Makes a lot of sense 💡

[@scottswindle1623]

I do cardio because it help me recover for the next set quicker. Also it's a nice tool when trying to lean out.
