running while on a bulker?

[broncojosh]

When I start my bulking cycle, I want to pick up the least amount of extra bf% possible. Is it okay to say run every morning, or would that be counterproductive?

I think running everyday is too much on a bulker. Twice a week is probably ok IMO.

just twice a week...damn. What if I cut it back to like 2 miles 5days/week?

I still think that's too much. But hey, I guess it depends on your goals, current stats, and cycle. IMO I think that's too much but if it works for you go for it. Some juicers do zero cardio when bulking. good luck

i did the no running or anything when i first started bulking but i started to get fat but im sure its just because i brought my diet up to like 4000-4500 calories but i started playing ball again just to kind of work on the fat alittle

Running is going to consume calories that your body would otherwise use to build muscle and raise you BMR so you will burn off even more calories. If you decide to run, make sure you eat more--if you can!
