No Cardio here!
DP and SS,
No cardio here. Haven't done it for like 6 years now. Dexter Jackson does no cardio. Neither does Darrem Charles. New Pro David Henry (he's got a forum over at muscle mayhem) also does no cardio. He's doing the Ironman in 7 days and will be (is) shredded as all hell.
I have done various version of CKD's. The dietary variations have always been synchronized with my training so that I never train a muscle group without a carb-up in between.
Diet days are zero carbs at 12 kcal / lb or less as the show approaches, protein around 2 g / lb. Carb-up days are low fat, protein about 1.5g / lb, the rest carbs to get 15 kcal / lb.
I try to get about 2-3 days of carbs in the week.
One schedule might be:
Train Mon: carbs post-workout (I train in the AM)
Tues: no carbs
Wed: like Mon.
Thurs: no carbs
Fri: no carbs
Sat: like Mon.
Sun: no carb.
I might do a 3 on / 1 off schedule with a 3 day bodypart split, carbin up only on the 3rd training day and the 1st half of the off-day.
I might do a 2 on / 1 off, carbing only post-workout on the 2nd training day.
I might do a traditional 5 day low carb/ weekend carbup CKD, training on Mon, Tues, Thurs and with a depletion workout on Sat, carbing after that. It could be with a Mon / Thurs, tues / Fri push-pull, carbin up on Fri and Sat. only.
I've attached a pic, too. I think I get pretty lean, DP, w/o cardio.
OK, DP. Your turn!!!
