Sam Sulek draws up the pros and cons of cardio

In a recent YouTube short video, the young bodybuilding champion who is bringing back the classic era gave some advice on doing cardio. The first question he asked was, “What’s the problem with the cardio?” Yes, this regimen tests everyone! Especially if you have to hold a one-minute plank after pumping the heart with jumping jacks and burpees! However, Sulek mentioned the pros of this common exercise regime.

Sulek stated, “Better metabolism you’ll be able to go harder in the gym just because you won’t be so winded.” According to the young bodybuilder, cardio would help a person take an exercise set further because the body would be able to re-oxygenate the blood efficiently.

He also advised cardio and bulking and said, “And then in a bulking context you’ll be able to eat more food without putting on so much body fat. And then the same thing in a cutting context.” When it came to the downsides of cardio, the athlete did not have anything against the heart-pumping regime and said that the only thing that was negative about it was doing cardio since it is an exhausting exercise.

Sulek also left the audience with one simple question asking, “Yikes is it really that hard?” Undoubtedly, he likes to keep things simple and had previously mentioned the 10 exercises that are also very important for fitness.

The very first exercise mentioned by the bodybuilder was an inclined bench press. The second was lateral raises for the deltoids (shoulders), followed by reverse lateral raises.

The sixth and seventh were hamstring curls, followed by leg extensions for the quads. Then for the biceps, he chose alternating dumbbell curls followed by straight push-downs for the triceps. The last exercise was the cardio bike. “If I had those 10, I would still get pretty freaky,” said the young bodybuilder.
