Going back a few entries, a guest named "Grant" posted "Cardio?" as a question.
I used to think that it was stupid for powerlifters to perform cardio. I have since recanted this thought. Cardio has many benefits in addition to the obvious, that we constantly hear about.
I was incredibly fortunate to meet and compete in the same competition as one of my "hero's" in this sport (I also count my lucky stars that we were not in the same weight class.......returning to the platform after a 20 year absence......he decimated the field).
The gentleman's name is Mike Bridges, and if you go look him up.....you'll see some of the numbers he put up........800+ squat/520+ Bench/750+ deadlift & all at 181 pounds. I figured that this was a guy who might have something to tell me and maybe if I get lucky, and he does, I should listen.
He explained to me the benefits he had found in cardio to powerlifters. Small consideration should be given to being in shape for deadlifts 2 & 3. 9 full blow attempts can put some hurt on you and being able to recover for the 3rd deadlift is pretty important (I figured this was pretty applicable to me, as I am not/was not a very prolific deadlifter.
The most important benefit he stressed was that the cardio was really important for the displacement of lactic acid after a squat and/or deadlift session. He said that he never did any gut busting cardio, but 10 minutes of a slow jog on the treadmill really worked for him.
Who was I to question the advise of this dude? Have you looked this guy up yet.....back in the late 70's to early 80's. I decided that if it was good enough for Mike Bridges........maybe it was time I expanded my horizons.
Now, I will admit that I never did more than the 10 minutes on the treadmill and it was always a slow pace Usually enough pace to break from a fast walk and move to the slow jog........I would cover 3/4 to 1 mile over that time period.
It was absolutely amazing how much faster I recovered from workout to workout............I assume there is a chemical formula and/or explanation for this that I am hardly knowledgeable enough to provide. I can tell you that it worked.
I suppose it is like everything else.......you have to tinker with it to find what is the correct amount for yourself.
Keep up the good work.
Wolverine

Trevor started doing cardio, so I figured I should too.
I will say that I do feel a difference with recovery, but I have never had a huge issue with recovery from day to day, but I realized that I did have some lactic acid build up which caused muscle cramping after squatting, which may have affected my performance in the past.
Thanks for the post, Wolverine.
