i worked with a prep coach and he didnt have me doing ANY cardio up until about a month before the show. 4 weeks out i just did one session of 20 minute walking on an incline treadmill. 3 weeks out i did 2 sessions. the last 2 weeks i pounded out 2 walking cardio sessions and 2 high intensity a week. i started my prep 6 months out and wasnt doing any cardio, it was amazing how much dieting itself can make you cut.
I did HIIT for the last 6 weeks last show... 4x a week pwo for 30 minutes, bout it...much of the prep no cardio until that

I do very little if any and usually only as I need it in the last few weeks of prep. I find I can't quite get striated glutes without some HIIT.

well don't get me wrong he still got insanely ripped this year. i think it was other things that he did that cost him even a class win rather than how much cardio he was doing

Damn you ectos. I could get a six pack off of diet alone, but i can't imagine how i'd get into contest condition without cardio. Although if i hardcore dieted for 6 months long i guess it's achievable.

I do very little if any cardio when prepping for contests. I'm gonna ride that wave until my age catches up with me! :)

No, but cut the time between sets making your training more aerobic and you can do less cardio. Always do your pre contest cardio after you train then your burning fat and not sugar
