Why do hardcore lifters avoid cardio?

My personal trainer (a kiniesiologist, whom I don't use anymore) swears by it, and made sure it was part of my routine (30 min warmup/20 min cooldown-it was a killer!!) when I worked out.

Does it inhibit anything?

growth!

Seriously? How does it do that? (If it's not too much to explain)

I figured it would enhance/supplement growth.

Cardio burns calories, when you're trying to gain muscle you need to consume more calories than you burn.

Ok, that does make sense to a point, but do calories not have a direct effect on your body fat, or am I just completely off track here?

(BTW, your help is very much appreciated! Thanks w8lifter)

If you're trying to gain size, cardio can hinder your gains.
