If you are 6'1 and 240lbs, and under 10% bf.....you don't need to do much cardio.
He's is wrestling, a 3-4 times a week. I'm sure his heart rate is over what mine is when I do cardio.
If you eat clean, eat your carbs at the right time of the day, lift consistantly and are not already fat, you can maintain your muscle with out gaining fat.
I lift 6 days a week, and I track my heart rate while I'm lifting. My heart rate normally stays over 140 and spikes to about 180 during heavy sets. It stays like that for the hour I'm at the gym.
I'm burning more calories in my hour of lifting, than I am in the standard 45 minutes of cardio most people do.
I think he is juicing too, probably year around like I said. But with some great genetics, eating the amount of food he buys at the grocery store, and a good solid lifting regimen, it's possible to be 6' and maintain 240.
