#267: Cardio Programming For Physique Sport

Brad, Jeff, and Brian discuss when, how, and why they program cardio for themselves and their athletes. How do the coaches view and prescribe cardio during a fat-loss phase? What are the coaches’ thoughts on doing additional cardiovascular exercise for overall health? What is the benefit of having a step goal over a calories-burned goal? What is the highest the coaches typically program someone’s step goal? Do the coaches ever use cardio as a way to stimulate an athlete’s appetite during a gaining phase? What are the coaches’ thoughts on HIIT cardio? Why do the coaches like to have their athletes taper their cardio/step count at the end of prep? The answers to these questions and many more are covered in this episode.
