why should i do cardio on a cut if im already meeting my 1000 calories under maintenance goal?

Because cardio has far more uses that calorie-burning you dip
for the health benefits

Depends if you want to save as much muscle mass as posible.

but i thought that's what my lifts are for?
>>41638211
Because you are a fatty
Because cardio helps you lose fat faster or allows you to eat more because you've burned more.
You cannot logically argue against cardio on a cut.

Lifting helps insure that you maintain your muscle mass and strength, but cardio helps make sure that the weight you lose is fat and not muscle. Do both you dummy

im not fat, im obese

Last I checked being obese is still being fat.

Because cardio aids in favourable nutrient partitioning (ie more of your weight loss will be fat)
It improves cardiovascular health which means better recovery, which means better performance and thus maintenance of gains on a cut.
9/10 people who look great, do a shitload of cardio. And generally the 1/10 no-cardio guy who actually looks good is a roider anyway.
I have been browsing /fit/ and similar places for 6 years and don't recall any stand out physiques who didn't do cardio.

>tfw i just do MMA training as cardio

how do you think your body gets rid of fat? you exhale it
breathing more with an elevated heart-rate burns fat if you're on a deficit ... so you also get to eat more (make it healthful foods)
