No cardio and hard lifting seems to be working great for me lately. I throw in a cheat meal here and there and it makes me extra strong!
Does anyone think it works well for them too?

jendoe that works just fine, i pretty much just do cardio so i can eat more calories on a diet.. ha ha cause im a big hungry dude! actually i do cardio for cardiovascular health and to be able to take in slightly higher calories. dieting using calorie restriction alone works just fine and will achieve the same results. You probably have more disapline that i do jendoe :)

If my diet is on par and my starches/grains are kept to just pre and post I can get away with no or very little cardio.

Brad makes a great point when I do more cardio then usual I get extremely hungry LOL.

Doing 10-15 minutes HIT cardio works wonders for me and thats basically all I need if I hit the bike hard.

I use carb cycling and descending sets to strip off fat I'll add some cardio near the end to get ripped if that is my goal. But I don't compete so I don't go far below high single digits either.

If you've been doing cardio for long periods of time then stop and focus on your diet you can make some impressive gains. It just leaves little room for error ;)

Well I like cardio just to keep the most important muscle in your body "your heart" healthy. I would still do it 3x per week no matter what . Just my opinion

i have been doing exactly that for a few months and i have found that it works pretty well for me. the reason i try to avoid cardio is because i am so skinny and i gain better without it, and i found that my bf stays where it is just from having a clean diet and a cheat meal a week.

I've been told that clean eating/nutrition is 90% and training is 10%! Ha, and this is coming from a "cardio queen". I have relied on cardio to take care of all my cheat'n eat'n. This year I am trying this approach to do less cardio and better eat'n. Please wish me luck!

I like to do at least three thirty minute cardio sessions each week. Keeps the ticker in great condition. :)

Ironmaidn clean eating is indeed a great portion of your results! Good luck! :)

Yes you need cardio for a healthy heart..but I am guessing you are more of a hardgainer body type...No cardio may not work for most women who carry more bodyfat in the lower half.
I confess..I don't do much cardio in the off season either...lifitng & eating reasonable works me for me...also has to do with age & muscle mass I believe...for people who can skimp on the cardio
