if a slightly underweight person wants to be ripped he has to lift weight right, well does he also have to do cardio?

like using the treadmill and stuff?

    Define cardio.

    20 mins on the treadmill is no biggy, but every calorie you burn, you're gonna have to make back up in food if you want to build any muscle.

    My advice is eat at a small surplus, lift on a structured programme and keep cardio to a minimum.

    You'll have to go through a couple of bulk/ cut cycles, which may involve some CV work in the cut portions. Needn't if you're not up to it.

    I'd rather tear my eyes out with a spoon tbh.

    Not if he doesn't want to :)

    He has to eat at surplus too, not just lift the weights.
