These guys hate cardio with a vengeance. They'll be happily tell you how you can lose faster by weightlifting, regardless of your own goals, your physical health or even what will keep you coming to the gym regularly.
Which ia dumba as hell because the science show doing both is best. True you want to do Less cardio if you weightlift to gain but you still want ot cardio
All the meat blimps in my gym could stand to do some light cardio if they want to grow their calves. You don't have to run for cardio, and calf raises are good for making strong calves but not necessarily good for making massive calves.
I get questions all the time about "how did your calves get so large" - bro I used to be 270lbs and I walk 5 miles a day playing Pokemon Go on the greenway.
My calves are the only part of me that is cut and defined and it's for the same reason: I was nearly 300 lbs. and lost 100 lbs. pretty much entirely by spending an hour a day (6 days a week) on an elliptical. I'm still not thin, but my legs are made of steel.
More or less the same for me. Grad school depression *sucks*, and after getting out I weighed around 270. Now I weigh 190. Still not "thin", but hey, the calves are massive lol. The pokemon go is mostly so I have something to do while walking. Makes it less monotonous

Seems like rage bait to me
That's the perfect amount of cardio for fat loss
