While I agree that a lot of good cardio training is good for static, I've been told that at least a couple weeks before a competition you should stop cardio training. This is because your metabolism gets so fast when you are doing lots of cardio...obviously not a good thing for static. By resting for a few weeks beforehand, it allows your metabolism to slow down a bit, thus conserving oxygen.
