    Arrow cardio - running during a cycle

    hello guys , little doubt

    during a cycle is recommended to do a half hour of running every day, or is it better to do one day yes, and one not?

    well that really depends on you goals for this cycle...that being said I do 4 20min sessions on the elliptical after lifting with weights right now because im cutting....how about some stats for yourself bro...overall though cardio is never a bad Idea unless you have a lot of trouble gaining weight....

    Most people do too much cardio and then don't properly adjust their calorie and carb intake. If you are training hard you don't have to do as much cardio as you might think. Take a look at you nutrition program before adding a ton of cardio.

    I'm running a 12 week cycle of Test-E and every day I take half an hour of running, someone said that in this way I'll have a little little muscle growth

    I hate cardio but I do it 3 times a week for 30 minutes. I prefer to just walk fast but that is not cardio . . . Did I say I freaking Hate every minute of Cardio?. But if you can get 30 minutes of sex . . . it counts in my book and I skip one time of cardio.

    Growth comes from eating above your TDEE. Don't neglect your cardio. It builds the most important muscle in the body - your heart! Also helps maintain healthy lipid metabolism and blood pressure.

    My lipids were once in the toilet. My docs jaw dropped to the floor. In 5 weeks (on test) I damn near completely fixed my lipids doing cardio 6 days a week. I always do cardio on cycle, 20-30 mins 5 days a week is good. I have never felt like it hinders my gains, I actually feel like it helps with bloating. I say go for it dude.

    That's awesome GB!!!! Looking forward to seeing results!

    I'm back on my cardio. Been running uphill sprints for 30 minutes every day this week. It's kicking my ass but cardio is something we should all commit some time to. Many people hate it, but your heart and cholesterol will love you for it!

    thanks brother....uphill sprints are great cardio, Im thinking your doing it hiit style with breaks like maybe walking down the hill...either that or you are clinically insane lol...I agree though cardio makes me feel great and the overall heath benefits are hard to beat as well...thanks for the words of encouragement my friend...

    No doubt about my sanity!

    Yes, HIIT. 30 mins straight and I'd have no shins left. Lol. I was just running for 45-60mins a day but got bored and wanted something a bit more intense. Running a new tren cycle soon so my cardio may take a bit of a hit but I'll find a way to stick with it!
