You should reduce the amount of cardio you perform, as too much endurance training is unnecessary or even counterproductive.

Dr. Michael Israetel generally bases this advice on the interference principle, where an excessive volume of cardio could theoretically limit strength or hypertrophy gains if not managed. Research, notably a meta-analysis by Wilson et al. (2012) published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, confirms that concurrent training (strength + endurance) can lead to a slight attenuation of strength progress, but this effect is often overestimated for the average practitioner. It is important to note that for metabolic and cardiovascular health, organizations like the WHO strongly recommend regular endurance exercise. The assertion that one must "stop" cardio is therefore a simplification focused on the extreme optimization of muscle gain, to the potential detriment of other aspects of overall vitality. In reality, moderate cardio is not incompatible with muscle building, provided that the total recovery volume is sufficient. The advice is therefore a specialization strategy rather than a universal truth for health.
