Cardio While Bulking?

[curiousgeorge2020]

Alright so I've read a bunch of different stuff on this topic but want to get your opinions on for my upcoming stack. It will be p-plex and trenadrol. I'm looking to bulk but don't want to increase BF% by much(if not at all). Should I do cardio or will it effect my gains?

cardio will help keep bf at a reasonable level giving your diets incheck. also it helps stimulate the appetite ( at least for me) and its good for you. just keep it to low intensity for like 20-30 mins on non trainig days and you should be good

I don't perform cardio while bulking, make sure your DIET is spot on and you train intensely, you will gain all lean muscle mass.

Thanks. Do you think it would hurt if I did about 20 mins of non-workout days? It would only be 2 days out of the week..?

Yes, it would hurt. Those calories that you are EXPENDING can not be utilized for ANABOLISM. Eat clean and train hard, you will gain virtually NO FAT AT ALL.

When it comes time to cut, you will be able to shed that tiny bit of bodyfat so easily you won't believe it.

IMO, 20 minutes 2X per week is totally fine and will not make any significant difference. It's good for overall health anyways.

Yes

Do cardio year round. It is good for you. Low intensity cardio while bulking will help flush lactate and waste from your muscles and help partition nutrients to your muscles for better recovery.

The only time I would limit cardio is if you were an ectomorph.

I can agree with that, especially being an Ecto myself
