Do most of the participants in power lifting competitions take stuff to improve their performances? Or are many of these big fellows chemically inflated? And do people interested in this area of lifting stay away from cardio activities in order to become bulkier and stronger? Just curious. Many serious lifters do indeed juice. I don’t and would never knowingly work with anyone that does...I just don’t want to be associated with foul play. There are raw natural divisions where guys are tested regularly, but sometimes guys juice anyway and get around it. It’s not common, because most naturals are in that division so that they don’t have to use to be competitive. As for avoiding cardio, it depends. If your natural build is conducive to certain lifts, and you want to drop LBs to get to a new weight class, then absolutely, do cardio. If you’re trying to add force to your lifts, then many guys will ditch traditional cardio, but will commonly include sprints and/or sled pulls to build explosiveness. Personally, I have a lifter’s build. Thick around the chest, short limbs, longer torso. For me, sprint cardio and lots of walking were key. 1

Contrary to popular belief cardio does very little for fat loss. The only way to really lose fat is diet, however you want to lift weights as well so you can maintain muscle mass which allows you to eat more food within reason and not get fat. Otherwise you will just be a skinny fat person who has to eat like a bird just to stay thin. 2 hours ago, JohnC said: I have known some power lifters who throughout the day consume a lot of protein drinks. I'm not saying this to be funny but when they fart it is like a chemical war zone. A killer gas exploding out of one's ass. just food for me, my farts smell like roses

Even before the coronavirus spread your associates participated in social distancing because you were nauseously odoriferous. If you want to know why the EPA kept showing up at your house it was because your neighbors repeatedly called them because they felt your property was contaminated. 1
