This will be my first year doing moderate cardio while bulking. I will keep it to 15-20mins post training, that is it.

I'd say both. Mix it up.

Just moderate for me, 20 mins light cycling or 30mins swimming 3-4 times per week

Personally, I feel that if you had to choose one over the other you'd be better off going with HIIT. In both cases, the calories burned have to be made up in your diet. However, HIIT is going to have greater nutrient partitioning effects, as well as most likely get you in better shape.
That's not to say that moderate intensity cardio is a bad idea; I can just see a more solid argument for HIIT if you're choosing only one. Like I said initially, doing both is probably optimal.

What was this thread a quiz on who knows what JKurz1 thinks is the best form of cardio while bulking? Why ask a question when you are pretty much just looking to see the answer you want to see? It all depends on your goals bro, no offense slyder but you are not on the money, I would never have a hard gainer doing 30mins moderate cardio first thing in the morning 3 days per week if they are trying to bulk.

LOL....relax bro...that's just exactly what I do, and thats all I meant by it. I wasnt looking for "my answer". I was looking to see what everyone else does, because sometimes I feel as if its too easy. But I guess that should be saved (intensity) for the next phase. That's all I meant/.Themachine01 said:

"For those that do the cardio right after weights, do you drink you post workout shake before or after the cardio?" - HardROCK
RIght after cardio brother. Actually even when I'm doing regular cardio in the AM, I try and get the food down ASAP. There is no residual fat burning effect after the cardio is done, once your done doing cardio the fat burning stops, so cram some food in you ASAP.

actually, bro, this depends on how intense your cardio is.....when I cut, I refrain for 1hr after cardio and that has allowed me to get down to 6%. An hour really is nothing after I stretch, pound some water, and do some abs....but, when bulking, a shake is sitting in the fridge ASAP.JoNeS said:

I'm all obsessed about not losing muscle, so pre cardio I pop 5 g's in BCAA tab's, and post cardio I try and get my food down ASAP, and it's been working for me I'm getting leaner. Also when I get the food down with-out waiting, it gives me more time to eat more meals later in the day every 3 hours, w/0 cramming as much.
But anyway I'm on the sauce now so, I'll try waiting the hour post cardio before eating (ANd see if I notice better fat loss results) because I'm not as nearly worried about muscle loss now.

If you're holding onto the rails you may as well not even be doing the cardio.
J/k, but man, I think that's pathetic. Not that I'm going to take it up with Ronnie any time soon...

haha, it's just that it makes things infinitely easier. No one likes doing cardio; if you're going to do it, may as well do it right.

Agrreed....so what is you typical incline treadmill protocol? 4mph, 9% grade? I've worn a heart monitor and get my HR to about 60-70% max with this or cranked to 12% and 4.5-6 holding on.............just have to increase the intensity if you hold on.........(which is only really done the day after legs)``

JKurz1 said:
I'm pretty much always at the full 15% incline. The speed varies based on how my legs are feeling that day, which seems to change without reason all the time. Always in between 3.5-4.2 mph.

once we start getting up past 4%, it's a fing chore....one would think at 6'2 it would be easier, but its not....couple with the fact that it's 5:30am and my legs are sore for 2 days past quad day and 2 days past hammy day, I'm holding on for part of the 2nd half..........like I said, my HR is still peaked!Joe Stenson said:

2 things:
1) Why do you think it would be easier when you're taller?
2) I don't even really notice the incline at all until it gets over 10%.

Gotcha.
I agree bro, I have to be feeling damn good to get it up to 4+mph, doesn't happen very often.

of course I do...........how can u ask without at least "thinking" you have the answer.....it was a dumb remark, no need to back-track.
Bicep - thanks bro..I would go that far, if you wanna be skinny and ripped, I'll get you there...lol....but mass is my problem right now.

Not any more...maybe at my peak....had the callipers done 02/04/05 and I was 7.8%. I've increased the cals 10 fold now and starting to blurr up.......scared to get tested, but prob. around 9%. Maybe it's just water bloat from sitting and drinking and eating all day....my arms and chest are still striated as are my calves. It's amazing that the first thing to really go are the abs.

Not amazing, it's the way the male body works. That's unfortunately where we store fat the easiest (and our lower back too).
And yeah, you're probably just a little more bloated than usual from the extra carbs. KEEP EATING!
