What you Need to Know about Cardio for Skinny Guys:

• Neglecting conditioning might help you you grow a smidge bigger, but at the cost of poor athleticism, and gaining enough marbeling around your abs to make a T-Bone steak cringe.

• Sprinting before lifting is ideal for improving performance in athletes and potentiating the nervous system for heavy lifts and explosive training.

• Complexes use major movement patterns in succession to challenge the cardiovascular system and muscles under fatigue in ten short minutes.

• Jumping rope is a low impact exercise to preserve muscle mass while improving footwork and conditioning.

• Sleds provide additional training volume without undue eccentric stress, preserving your recoverability.
