Yes, but it’s not just Option A) eat less vs B) more cardio.
You can eat more AND do the cardio and the inclusion of both in a regimen can mean increased metabolism. Isn’t that the principle of G-Flux?
I know too much steady state cardio can be counterproductive, but there was an article on here that said EPOC was overrated (I’m not siding with it, just stating what I read) and that morning cardio or even steady state cardio is still used widely by bodybuilders for fat loss.
If you are concerned with muscle loss during long bouts of cardio, can’t you consume BCAAs to combat this and at the same time, benefit from the increased metabolism that cardio can bring about?
Is there honestly zero benefit to even steady state cardio if nutrition is kept in check to avoid catabolism? It’s starting to sound like that ‘soy is evil’ argument; there’s some truth to both sides, but no conclusive evidence supporting either argument.
I agree with this.
While my cardio isn’t steady state (cycling 5 hours a week on average), I refuse to belive you won’t be making progress if you are doing steady state, eating enough and lifting heavy weights.
It’s the fucking psycho-analysis of every little thing we do that is sending confusion to people starting out.[/quote]
