To the more 'seasoned' bodybuilders

True, maybe it was a bad example from me...

Nah I know what you mean

But that's the trade off you get. You (as in most people) cannot be big and very fit to do the things you mention. In a lot of cases it's physically impossible.

So it's either be huge and not be cardio great, or be bigger than normal people but not huge and have great cardio.

Hmm possibly beg to differ, mariusz pudzianowski is about 22 stone + and his fitness is tremendous for his size. Just look at a lot of the WWE wrestlers and even MMA fighters such as brock lesnar etc. Massive amounts of weight they are carrying but great cv fitness.

Imo people who are huge but bad cv fitness thats just lazyness if anything. Im sitting at 16 stone lean, But I make sure my cv fitness is up to date at best, I've been lazy in the past and it does no favours what so ever, the hearts a muscle to, and theres so many people out there and people I know who just refuse to do cardio and are just so unfit.

One guy I respect greatly is Kevin Levrone, very inspirational.

You've taken people from the extreme who I excluded by saying 'most people'

First year is for faffing around like a tosspot and realising your not getting anywhere and figuring out where you're going wrong. Which generally tends to be everywhere

Haha, quoted for truth! Think we can all relate to that in some way.

At the end of the day it intrigues me to see how far I can push my body naturally, and who knows once I get there I might want to see how much further it can go with some gear, but I doubt it.
