    <--4 days a week, lifting for 1.5 hours each. No cardio.

    You can get it done in three days though. 5x5 would be good.

    I haven't tried a 5X5 in a long while. Do you do the sets with little rest to keep HR up? I will see about getting it done. There are few Powerracks in my current gym. Pisses me off. lol
    ICF and StrongLifts are both 5x5.
    I use the StrongLifts phone app at the gym and it tells you to rest 90 seconds if the last set was easy or 180 seconds if it was difficult. The goal isn't to keep the heart rate up, though heavy squats definitely get my heart going like I just sprinted 800m.

    I really enjoy moving my body. I lift four days a week and run 5-6 days a week. I lift 1-1.5 a session and run 3-15 miles each time (35-45 miles a week).

    I wouldn't consider myself shredded though. I'd like to lose a few pounds, but am overall happy with my weight.

    You can get shredded without any cardio. Heck, you don't even need to lift to be "shredded". It's mostly diet.

    Yes, a lot of it is made in the kitchen. I kinda wish I enjoyed working out. Moving my body is fine. I like martial arts and other activities, but I get bored running and lifting. Im a sad man lol

    Pretty much every day, the occasional rest day. I do 3 days of lifting, plus body balance, combat, metafit, two shbam dance classes, cxworx and running. I'm the fittest I've ever been. I'm not remotely ripped.. because I eat too much!

    I must suck at time management. I don't know how you people do it.
