Suggestions for someone who is always doing some form of cardio? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

#22 · 25-04-2004, 08:23 PM

Hey guys, i have been around a while and im not new to bodybuilding but latley i've been having to do so much cardio realated work that its starting to effect my gains. I do cycling reguraly as it is something i really love and i've always been naturally good at it (trial bikes you see). Secondly my work invloves moving around constantly with very short break which means i don't get very much time to eat or have abit of a rest! Strange because i look at rugby players and they seem to always be massive even though they probably o more cardio than me! So i was just wondering whether any of you may have solutions for this, what type of supplements to be using, what kind of routine i SHOULD be doing. I'm just not sure on what to do about it.

My mail lady walks like 8 miles a day. I asked her one time how come she did not lose weight. She said "the body gets used to it". I thought she might be wrong but she was injured and wasnt on the job for 3-4 months. The next time I saw her she got pretty big. I figured that would be because same calorie intake and not the same exercise. Took her some months but she is back to her old weight.
The body will get used to the load putting on it.

I have a body building friend at work and at work he wont work. He says he is trying to gain weight and did not want to waste calories at work. This fool would let everyone around him do his work and he did just enough to not get into trouble. So the point here is if you want to gain weight then stop the cardio or up the calories. You will get used to the workload eventually.

Once again diet is key. Eat eat eat. Do you put on fat easy? Do you gain weight easy?

Well i don't put on fat too easily, but once it builds up alot after a few months then i usually stop to cut because i really hate having fat on me, just something i was never used to when i was younger (i got a six pack at 14 and i've been able to see it since). I think im just too warried about the whole fat aspect, but if i don't eat alot then my body just eats up energy. I think i might start a new diet with abit less fat, but keeping the food intake high.
