Wait, people really don’t do cardio? I thought that was just satire all these years.
This may be satire in itself, but I'm gonna reply anyway. A surprising amount of people do next to no cardio. Some because it's not enjoyable for them, others because they think it'll impact their lifting progress.

I do cardio, just not in the gym. Maybe in winter I'll be in the gym, but my cardio is mostly running and cycling
I don't do cardio. It's not because I think it will "steal my gains" I just find it incredibly tedious and monotonous. But I also view this as a personal fault, because I know I'd be a healthier and better person if I actually dedicated the time/effort to doing some cardio.
Cardio in a gym is shit. Go for a walk through the forest or on some trails. I live right next to a nature center so I do 1-1.5 hours of cardio there a day.
If you live in the city, well, you should probably move
I'm in bumfuck nowhere and I couldn't disagree more. There are no cycling roads here and forests as far as I can see. I find walking through the same places boring as hell. I have to take my bicycle about 15km away from my home since the mountainous roads are narrow, often very steep and definitely not intended for cycling.
Doesn't help that the nearest gym is 10km away
Unironically me, but at least i have a semi big ass
>I find walking through the same places boring as hell.
I've been walking the same trails for 4 years and I don't get bored. If you're in any area with life the trails are very dynamic

I wasn't referring to gym cardio, just cardio in general. (hell, I'm home gym master race so I don't even have access to gym cardio shit) I can't stand running around or any of that. And besides the issue of tedium, I hate hate the way cardio makes my body feel, especially compared to the glorious noodly feeling you have after doing some heavy lifting. I know cardio-lovers will object and say they love the feeling they get doing cardio, but I can only relay my own experience and how it feels to me.
Again, I know I should do it. but I'm mentally weak in this department and can't motivate myself to spend time and energy doing it.
I think anyone who enjoys cardio is mentally ill. You're not supposed to enjoy cardio, you're supposed to enjoy finishing cardio knowing that you didn't give in half way like a pussy.
If it were just about doing things that make us feel good why wouldn't we just be fat fucks drinking beer and eating shit all day?
You don't need to do isolations or cardio to look like a Spartan from 300
I run a mile on the treadmill after my workout. It sucks ass but it's done wonders for cutting fat.
Like I said, I completely agree with you. Hence I explicitly said in my posts that I know I should do it and that I'm mentally weak for not doing it.
I'm not doing the thing some anons do where they cope and rationalize by giving various reasons why they don't need to. I'm just straight-up saying it's a personal fault
I'm that guy

SHUT UP
Literally me
Guilty. I do an hour of stationary bike during off days but I don't count it as I have a very sedentary lifestyle.

>>that guy who puts equal amounts of weight on both ends of the bar like an autist
I do, after 2 months of cut I had to reduce volume to keep up. Doing well with cut tho.
same here, if I'm doing cardio I need to be outside when I do it to take in the sun and fresh air at least, can't do it on some machine in a gym
