i know some ppl who get by doing only minimal cardio and look fantastic.... but the catch is the diet has gotta be spot-on.

anyone can do it... seriously... and continue dropping bf% with constant modifications to diet...
personally i like to EAT. so cardio it is. lol.

lots of ppl - long distance runners, football, basketball players etc do a heck load of cardio.... but are not necessarily ripped.

i dont think its a problem.... i personally do alot of cardio and its never been a problem. as a matter of fact its necessary cos i put on weight VERY easily.
if cardio knocks you out before ur weight training.... try shifting ur cardio sesh to after the weights. if ur used to doing cardio as a "warm up", perhaps u cld do an easy 10mins before weights, and then do an additional 20mins after workout. see if it helps.

weight lifting for HOURS? not enough??
let me guess.... are you doing "full body" workouts? or are you taking long rests in between sets? 1 hr or 1.5 hours should be more than enough for cardio+weights. some ppl even get it down under 1 hr, which is recommended to prevent ur muscle going into catabolic (muscle wasting) state. u shld b doing not more than 1 muscle group a day... or at the most 1 major + 1 minor muscle group (e.g back+bicep / chest+tricep). honestly u dont need alot of sets to grow. 4 sets, 4 exercises (at the correct poundage and intensity of course) is more than enough for most people.

wanna build up ur chest? there are so many things u can do.... incline/flat/decline benchpress, incl/flat/decline dumbell press, dumbell flyes, pec-dec flyes, pullovers........ you can do a google for pictures and instructions if ur not familiar with these. good luck!
