None in offseason

None during competition

If you keep a healthy amount of lean body mass year round then its not that hard to diet down for competition.

IMO people who rely on cardio (or in more extreme cases diuretics) hold onto to much water during contest time.

Cardio for less than 20 minutes, with very very few exceptions, is worthless.

none if i feel my bf is getting high i will start doing high rep sets(30 reps at least) and drop my rest periods to 30 seconds. I usually get goo growth out of this aswell so its a win win situation most of the time. But for the most part i keep the food the same. if i feel heavy or look heavy i will cut carbs my last meal or so.

As far is the heart is concerned i really should get up in the morning and do some cardio before breakfast and my shower and stop being lazy, no excuse for that.

God Bless

Right now 6 days a week, I alternate between HIIT and low intensity. My bodyfat was way to high, and I've cut to a reasonable bodyfat now, but I want to cut a little bit more weight, but it's coming off very slowly. I gain weight very fast, but lose it very slow.
