Cardio. That's how you hurt yourself.
You know what Tahir does for cardio?
Go to the gym and throw 135lbs on the squat rack. Now squat 135lbs for a total of 100 reps in x amount of minutes. Then go back a day or two later and reduce the time by a minute.
Don't want to squat? No problem. I also like to throw 225lbs on a bar and do the same with dead lifts.
Want to incorporate your arms more? Get a 300-500lb tire and do tire flips under the same parameters. If you can get your hands on a "log" (the strongman logs) and to log clean and press that's a good one too.
Or you can just do something like 10 sets of 10 reps with short rest intervals of 30 to 60 sec.
When I was serious into working out in my mid 20's I was a monster and was able to squat 700lbs free weight (fourteen 45 lb. plates plus a 45 lb. bar) and do 3 sets of 8 reps. The bar would be bending over my shoulders it was crazy. People encourgaed me to enter a strong man comp back then. Now I can barely squat down and pick up some change that fell out of my pocket lol. All that bulk and muscle turned into fat.
I'm back at it though, I have to make it become a habit and stick with it for about 6 weeks so it becomes natural again. I will just stick with the basics in the beginning so I don't burn myself out and quit before it becomes a habit. I already know how to get into it. I have incredible knowledge about nutrition and exercise but I became the mechanic with the broken car or the plumber with a leaky sink. :/
