Ive been strength training for a while now, however ive noticed my stamina/endurance has got terribly poor recently, also higher blood pressure as a side effect of the heavy weight training. Im wanhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3697324Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:00:37 GMTMate, if I was doing 3-3.45 hours of exercise a week, I'd want to see some benefit from it! As I say, time & efficacy wise I am not a fan!http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3696218Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:59:50 GMT How many times a week did you do that Stegsie? Up to about 5 (certainly no more than that) Sat, Sun, Tue & Thursday usually. Can't rate it highly enough. Want to kick it off again, buhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3695060Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:18:15 GMTHow many times a week did you do that Stegsie?http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694982Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:23:43 GMT Can of worms this one! I agree that whatever is most convienient is more important. Any Cardio is better than no cardio. Personally, I find Fasted AM Cardio to be much, much more effectivehttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694909Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:19:44 GMTI'm not James but it depends upon you. You have to be able to balance the intensity you use with the duration and then you ability to recover and then train legs meaningfully. It should be fairly easy.http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694877Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:51:12 GMTClearly for time efficiency interval training and metcon is the way to go. Steady state cardio is a long and comparatively ineffective slog. Just to parrot the above though, having a 6 pack involves two factors, low overall body fat levels and thenhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694855Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:29:03 GMTAs above, cant specifically target fat in one area, but imo just stick with running, but then running isnt great for some people so just make sure youre burning the calories and the fat will come off (providing youre not over eating obviously)http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694771Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:05:49 GMTSome exercises burn more cals than others. But none can target belly fat.http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694703Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:57:05 GMTEasy mate. I was on a course last winter. ALl I did was do weights, no cardio at all. 3 weeks before I needed to do my PFT I started to run every other day, increasing intesity, and got 9.40. 12mins 30 is very doable withhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694701Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:56:16 GMTjames, the treadmill in my gym shows the speed in km/h what speed should i do for SSCV??http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694531Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:44:30 GMTIt is very marginally better fasted in the morning. But, other factors are more important, like convenience.http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694398Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:06:13 GMTIs one cardio better/more effective than another in terms of cutting the fat on your stomach for the abs too show? Time wise?http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3694208Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:42:25 GMTWell you'd need low bodyfat for them to show, if you're bulking I doubt that will happen.http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3693631Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:01:42 GMTI'm in the middle of a year long bulk (due to a bad knee injury, I can't do much cardio so might as well keep bulking and only cut once my knee's better). I've put on nearly a stone and a half so far, with probably a stone of muscle and half a stonhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3693619Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:55:06 GMThi, im going to do a cut in january. anyway im wondering if SSCV is more effective in the morning or evening time? in the morning, i could do it just after i wake up. or in the evening, after work. what do people prefer?http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3692885Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:14:49 GMTThis is a how long is a piece of string type of question. Even based on knowledge of your training history, current times, general state of health it would still be an uninformed opinion to comment. If you went out for a run today and timed 1.5http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3691425Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:42:34 GMTCheers Drewsky, appreciate the responsehttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3691357Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:55:58 GMTI like the look of that!!! Gonna try it tomorrow. I don't know if your gonna be able to increase your tolerance to lactic acid in one week though. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members will be able to advise you. Have you done that kindhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3691181Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:45:16 GMTsport related fitness can mean all sorts, football related you would also want to concentrate on short sprints and your movement side to side, reversing, turning etc. Remember 'fitness' is not just being able to run a long way and football isn't onhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3690577Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:40:51 GMTAlright Need a little advice here.

The most important thing is that you get the cardio done so ask yourself, when are you going to get it done most often? This may mean am if you can get up early enough or later on if a) if you're a late/poor riser and bhttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3689974Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:22:58 GMTI've been reading this article and as far as the diet is concerned, I'm following something fairly similar, although slightly bigger portions. http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/losing-fat.aspx With the cardio, is it advised that I do thttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3689928Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:46:20 GMTCardio is a beneficial thing whilst on a bulk, you just have to be aware of two factors 1) Eating for it, so that you remain in a hyper calorific state and 2) Allowing yourself the time to recover so that you can train with the desired intensity whttp://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=3687954Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:00:52 GMTThat looks like a good routine i am on a bulk at the moment and i have never done cardio while bulking.
