cardio while bulking?
Should I stay away from cardio altogether while bulking or is it ok to do it on my off days? I can only lift 3 days a week.

I think it ok to do SOME cardio....In fact cardio is always good. Just keep it around the 20 minute a session mark. I was doing it 3 days a week for 20 to 25 minutes. Keeps the heart and lungs in shape, helps with body fat loss, but keeps the muscle on.Originally Posted by BrentBarrett

It depends. Are you a 130 pound ectomorph who struggles to put on any weight at all?Originally Posted by BrentBarrett
Depending on your bodytype and current conditioning cardio can and should be done while bulking. A few sessions of LISS cardio will not halt your progress and it's good for your heart.
Some guys do fasted morning LISS cardio to keep the fat off while bulking. This also jacks up your metabolism and makes you hungry all day. At least it does for me. I would not recommend this if you don't already have an appreciable amount of size.
