cardio while trying to bulk up

[Elite_Fry]

just wondering if you should use things like treadmills, exercise bikes etc. if your trying to bulk up

Cardio raises your metabolism and increases your fat burning processes.

I am "bulking" right now and I still do cardio. Not really enough to interfere with the weight I am wanting to put on, but enough to keep my lungs and legs in good shape for riding.

Minimal. Research shows aerobic exercise can hamper strength and size progress.

If you wanna do it for your health that's your perogative, but save it for when you're cutting or something, cuz you will not be able to bulk up w/ cardio.

Cardio in moderation while bulking up is okay. Just don't prioritize it over lifting the iron.

nothing wrong with cardio. you can abstain if you want, itll only give you those calories back that you would have burned on the treadmill. i do it so my ticker stays strong too.

if you're doing cardio the right way, then it won't hinder muscle growth. when I'm bulking I do cardio twice a week just to keep from getting to fat. It's really up to you.
