Alex is a multi sport athlete. He competes in triathalons and I believe cycling only events.Originally Posted by ErikTheElectric

No, I am Actually Getting Gains. I've been doing more cardio while I'm bulking and it just makes me hungry. Also, seeing leg gains as well and much more energy.

Wouldn't you just eat the calories that you burned through cardio?
I always tell the truth, even when I lie

Yes, exactly. Though, likely if you want to be as aggressive as alex, it's almost essential to be bulking to recover better.Originally Posted by Icanlift

If you're bulking yes. Tracking macros and calories and STICKING to them, no matter if you're bulking or cutting, is key.Originally Posted by Icanlift

Depending on the length, intensity, etc of the cardio itself. It can come down to more than just eating back the calories burned.Originally Posted by Icanlift

Alex Viada is a freak of nature.
But I seriously doubt some cardio will kill your gains. Idk why people have been writing up articles about it recently. T-nation has been the worst about it so far.My log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=154949233
