Hey bro,
You only ever need to do enough cardio to get warmed up. Spend the rest of your energy lifting iron!
Seriously lifting the heavy weight burns way more cals for a longer period of time then any cardio will.

Thanks for the info zedhed you think I should workout more than 4 times aweek or you think that's good

what is your current weight? might want to up the cals and protein. or at least be prepared to eat more and more as the cycle goes if necessary

for your first cycle I would do 0 cardio.. grow grow grow.

i wouldnt neglect cardio all together, and just eat more if you need to. you cant lift 7 days a week, so iv always filled in my off days with cardio, even if it is light (usually intervals, or some sprints)

i always eat 100% clean. i just eat more or less, of the same foods

Good advice from subz

I know you're bulking, but the easiest way to get ripped is to not get fat in the first place.

Eating a "bulking" diet with no cardio is asking for some fat gain. Especially if you are already ~15% or more bodyfat.


I'm personally not a fan of traditional cardio so all my recommendations are out of the norm to the standard bber. If you're looking for the traditional bber cardio, then a 30-40 minute walk before breakfast a few times a week is a good way to go.

I like to do "finishers" after my main workout for conditioning. Crossfit type body weight meticons, strongman drills, javorek complexes, kb swings/snatches, jumping rope, etc. All of these will have specific carry over to what you do with the barbell and outside the gym with every day tasks. Plus a lot of this stuff is fun and challenging. It builds mental toughness and testicular fortitude. Two things you need when grinding out heavy high rep squats and 5RM deadlifts.
