I'm arguing with my idiot friend.
He says that "Cardio promotes muscle development".

It works your heart, fuckwit the most important muscle of all.

Does it promote muscle development in the heart? Oh? It doesn't give you a bigger heart?
Then stfu.

It does though.

Humans are literally built to run. A little cardio will even help you during bulking phase.
Now if you go overboard like a retard (to the pt of deficit) of course you will start to lose muscle.
The key is moderation my man

>I'm too stupid to prove my friend wrong, so do it for me so I can be a dickhead and wave it in his face when it suits me
Pathetic.

Sorry I don't have a Ph.D and have this information at my hand you monkey. If you aren't going to help then gtfo.

Thanks.
You have helped to enlighten me, user.

cardio requires you to use your muscles and anything that does that will cause some development

Actually people who excirse have a bigger healthier heart then lazy normies

Except you called your friend an idiot on a subject you clearly have no knowledge of
You're like a 400lb fat guy calling a 350lb guy a fatass

Cardio results in everything else functioning better so it leads to more gains in the long term.

Cardio can deplete glycogen so muscles may appear less full and may only appear to be impressive when you have a pump if you do excessive amounts of it.

>I'm too stupid to have my own conversations, please make my argument for me.
No matter the board, no matter the topic, I hate these fucking threads. Your friend is a gift to mankind and you are a waste.

It increases capillary density and mitochondrial density in slow twitch fibers, which doesn't quite increase overall size. It has to do with the different fiber types in our muscles. Both of you are idiots for arguing over something neither of you know anything about.

>strengthening the heart and encouraging bloodflow throughout the body which increases the rate of nutrient transport to the muscle bellys which then utilize said nutrients to repair, rebuild, and strengthen doesnt promote muscle development
huh

Cardio does promote muscle development besides the heart as well. You can burn body fat while still eating more calories/protein than you could if you didn't do cardio.

He's right - cardio promotes recovery exactly the same way light days do.

Another indirect plus is that you can blast higher rep workouts without having your cardiovascular system crapping out on you before dat dere homeostasis is disrupted

doing cardio is good for anyone lifting weights you fuckwit

Strengthens your leg, foot, ankle muscles and stabilizers etc. No they won’t swell up with hypertrophy but that’s not what it’s for.

Damn.
You guys are right.
I apologized to him and told him what you guys said. Thanks for making me less ignorant.

Also, he isn't an idiot. That was banter that evudently came out wrong

Hahaha holy fuck OP fell for the cardio kills your gains meme, and actually went so far as to argue with his friend about it hahahaha jesus christ

"I beleive something, but I don't know why I beleive it"

What a fucking idiot.

OP BTFO

During the SS and Stronglift shilling days Jow Forums would have given very different answers here...

an enlarged heart is bad.

It does give you a bigger heart, you absolute mistake.

Not exercise-induced cardiomegaly. Look it up. Synonymous with athletic heart syndrome

It does promote muscle development and bone density increases if you are extremely sedentary
