Bulking - Cardio while on?

[JKurz1]

Even at a low dose of 250mg cyp, my trainer wants me doing NO cardio...for me, it's the issue of Bulking up on a very high diet and losing the definition. Does anyone do NO cardio while bulking? What do you let you bf% get to? Thanks bruthas...

I always do cardio. It makes training better, it clears my head, it keeps fat off.

 

[mikefear]

I don't do cardio.. then again, I'm turning into a fatass

I need to throw some SesaPure into my diet

 

[JKurz1]

There's no reason not to do cardio because you're "bulking". Bulking doesnt mean fatten up, it means build muscle mass. Don't confuse different types of cardio. You're not going to run a marathon, but you do want to burnoff excess fat. HIIT cardio for 20-25 minutes 3x a week is sufficient. You don't want to go into the aerobic zone and this will preserve muscle. I ususally jump rope for 2 minutes, then take a minute break and repeat until 20 min are over. As far as bodyfat goes, if the norm is 14-15%, then a desireable range is 10-12% max. You'll still look good, lean, and you wont have to starve yourself if youre not a natural Ecto.

I still do cardio. . .I just cut it in half.

Jkurz should not do cardio while bulking. He has a mental issue with bulking to the point where he cannot gain weight.

Make sure you powerwalk everywhere and stay active, the cardio can take a break for a few months.

I hate cardio,

Do it when people start to tell me how fat I look, and when none of my pants fits.


I’m trying to reach 200lbs by 9/14, it is a struggle, cardio would only make it worst.




When I do cardio, I have to jump start it,, Radically.


Have done DNP, but now just use clen, spiorpent,


So cardio for me means, 6 days 30 minuets each day,

Clen
Test 200mg week
Liquidex.


Oh yeah and diet.


Bulking is so much more fun.

I find it to be nearly impossible to get a decent workout without at least 10 minutes of medium-intensity cardio beforehand. . .maybe I'm weird but, If I don't get my heart pumping and warm up my joints, I can't do shit.

Especially on inject days, I like to get in some cardio right after I shoot to get some blood into the area.

I use to do heavy Cardio, but the past few months I tryed just bulking and no Cardio, Well I hate it..I'm starting cardio today results are much better, more cut, less fat and it seems to give me more energy overall

do not EVER neglect cardio....I learned this the hardway. Up until the last year or so....I've been a career bulker, as I was always looking for strength and mass. Because I kept I fairly clean diet....I didn't become a total fatass. But now I'm a bit older and learning that keeping the heart in shape is more important than any fat loss you may get from cardio. I now swim a couple times a week for 30 minutes minimum and always do about 25 minutes of the elliptical "after" the workout. Keeping the cardio to reasonable lengths will not detrimentally affect weight gain, especially if you're "on". I wish I had done more cardio over the years while I was "on".....I may have done some damage to my heart because of it. So cardio up when you're juicing.....

Personally I would do cardio. I agree with the others. You need to get your body warmed up. My experience shows I can lift heaver weight after cardio vs. no warm up. I contribute that to having my heart rate slightly elevated.

 

[JKurz1]

3x a week in the ams...20 mins max for me....but I am severely underweight....

 

[pitbullrocco]

try a clen-like cycle.....2 weeks on, 2 weeks off....or what i do is my first half of cycle, no cardio, then last half, HIT cardio 20 min on non-training days....you'll need to eat more when your doing cardio than when you weren't

 

[20ss02]

I'm not sure what the problem is. If the fear is not gaining adequate muscle due to a caloric deficit from cardio, then increase your daily intake. Overall health is important to me, so I always do cardio.

 

[damnitmannn727]

When I use to bulk before I never did cardio but now I do. I train 5 days a week and hit 30mins of low-intensity(walking) cardio before I hit the weights. If you're a hard gainer, I wouldn't bother with cardio on a bulk but if you have a slow metabolism like me, I would. Good luck!

 

[gettnlarge01]

I think it depends on the body type,age,family medical history. lots of things to consider if you need cardio for total health regardless of bulking or cutting.

 

[JKurz1]

For now, 3x a week...

Forget the supps bro, you just need straight up cardio.... no excuse

 

[tzan]

It's better to eat more and do cardio rather than eating less and avoiding cardio. Just up the cals a bit more and throw some cardio in there.

 

[MorganKane]

I do cardio 3-4 times a week.
Doing the cardio first thing in the morning for 35-45 minutes.

BULKING....too much!

 

[ryan04]

I ride a stationary bike for 40 mins 3-5 x a week. I put on fat very easily though. When bulking I make up for this by just eating more cals.
