cardio while bulking

[@guy]

hi guys, I need to know how much should you do while bulking? I have been lifting weights for three weeks and I do just 15 minutes of cardio before lifting like to warm up, should I do more than that?

When I'm bulking I cut cardio that's because I'm a hard gainer

Some do need to because it speeds up the metabolism enough to allow for more food. But not a lot of cardio. How often do you lift?

it depends man.. if you dig ditches all day then reduce your cardio for sure if you are trying to gain weight

you can always eat more food and still do your cardio ya know.

I think 20-30 minutes of cardio 3 times per week is perfect for bulking. Cardio is very important for heart health and it also helps with appetite. Obviously you don't want to do hours of cardio and burn a ton of calories but a couple 20-30 minute sessions will only benefit you.

It is amazing how many people regard cardio just as a way of losing weight, whereas it is the most reliable way of making your heart stronger and healthier. You still need to do cardio, for the sake of your heart's health. If you worry about losing muscle mass, then you can just eat more, as @stevesmi has suggested you to do.

Cardio is great for heart health and I recommend it to everyone that is bulking. Even more so because you are putting your body under a ton of stress by consuming a ton of food and lifting heavy.
