Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I'm on my 4 th week of a sust 250 (500mg a week ) and durabolin (250mg a week) cycle and I have put on 15 pounds. I'm very curious as to the amount of cardio guys are able to do and not impact on gains. I have no dought that I will gain another 15 pounds easy on this cycle (12 weeks) but I would rather gain a few pounds less and drop a few 3-4 %BF I'm now 17%. I don't want this to be a cutting cycle since I will do that later in the year. Basically is there a middle ground for me. Will I lose my mass doing 50 min 4x a week. Will upping my dosage help me keep my gains. I would appreciate responses by those with similar experiences. Thanks guys
How much cardio can you get away with W/O Steroids

If you're trying to add muscular bodyweight then no cardio is the best cardio. No matter what you do you will not burn bodyfat in a "bulking", or more appropriately hypercaloric state. Cardio will drain your glycogen stores and impose further strains on recovery. You would be training the body to do two contradictory tasks..one of which will take precedence and the other of which will take abackseat. Since cardio(aerobic training) is far less taxing than anaerobic training it will be the muscle strength/size adaptations that will suffer. The body is lazy for efficiency and thus survival purposes. If it can get away with the easier of the two signals then it will. Since muslce growth and weight training are so metabolically demanding performance and growth will be sacrificed. Look at the physiques of a marathon runner compared to a short distance sprinter you can plainly see the difference the two training styles have on the body. Sprinters rely on purley anaerobic energy systems whereas distance runners rely on aerobic energy systems. One builds muscle the other increases effeiciency. I personally find that if I do any cardio my weight training and gains suffer substantially. It's not a debate in lazziness...I use to be a distance runner when I was young. It's a fact of human physiology that most people simply refuse to accept of have the hardest time understanding. If you're bulkng you aren't going to loose any appreciable fat in a short period of time...i.e. a cycle. Muscle growth requires more calories than are used in a day. Fat loss is dependent on using more caloreis than are consumed in a day. Add to that fact that intense weight training is very bennificial to the cardio-vascular system (enough so to keep it in top shape for normal health reasons) then there is really no sense in doing cardio.
if i was on juice i wouldnt do ANY cardio maybe unless ur just on winny or primo or fina or eq somthing weak like that but not test. its not worth fucking up ur heart. it can enlarge. not worht the risk. do cardio after ur cycle. if ur worried about loosing muscle after ur cycle do low dosages of winny or osmthing to keep ur muscles in an anabolic state, u wont gain any muscle but u wont loose much if any either.
