[Praetorian]

For 13 weeks out two 30 min sessions...once in the morning before eating and one post workout before eating is about perfect.

Wow! I have a new energy and motivation! Had a crazy chest workout yesterday. and after Seeing DK and Slin Shady and P22 in the NATS pictures I think I was just mentally lifted. Last week I felt week in both mind and strength. But Lookout! The Strength is back and I'm about to pull out the best conditioning of my life. I am already blown away with how my legs look. They never looked this good before.

So Prae, How should I increase my Cardio
Go up ten minutes a session each week until I hit 2 one hour sessions and stay there for a while or is there a better way.

So I mean
13 Weeks out (this Week)
30 min morning 30 min evening

12 Weeks out
40 min morning 30 min evening

9 Weeks
60 min morning 40 evening

7 Weeks
60 min morning 60 evening
and so on

What is your recommendation Steve

[Delt King]

I wouldn't necessarily set the plan in stone but that could work. The idea is to only do enough to continue getting results. 2 hours a day of cardio for 7 weeks straight would kill me mentally. I was up to that much at one point in my prep yes but was able to back off and manipulate my diet and it worked better for me IMO.

[natenator]

what I would do:

start at 30 and 30 and add 5 mins to each session every 2 weeks.

Week 13/12: 30/30
Week 11/10: 35/35
Week 9/8: 40/40
Week 7/6: 45/45
Week 5/4: 50/50
Week 3/2: 55/55
Week 1: 60/60

But liek DK said it depends on where you're at conditioning wise. You may need longer at 2hrs/day or you may need to creep into 2+ hrs/day.

Thanks for the input guys. The plan was to keep adding unless I'm still losing at least a pound or two a week.

Do you guys know how tough it is to Accurately measure your own body fat %??
It would be great to know where I am at. I wouldn't even have a good guess at this point.

LOL You crack me up with your posts sometimes man.
It's a good gauge. If I knew that week to week It would give me a better Idea I think than the mirror.
And my Weight fluctuates 5-10lbs a day from day to night so..
