cardio...time of day??
guys i have a slight problem, i am doing a bulking cycle and i gain fat just by looking at food so i do cardio 3x weekly to help stop the fat gain but i have a hard time doing it first thing becasue i work constructiona dn i have to be at work early, is there another time of day that would be just as good or should i suck it up and wake up at 4:30 and just do it? and should i be going for 3 or 4 days a week.......stats are 5 11 225 roughly 13-15%bf no more then 15...but like i said i have to bust my ass to keep it down and when i bulk i get fat also and i am trying to stop that this time...any help is appreciated

THe morning cardio would ensure a higher total of FFA oxidation. Doing it another time will not have the same reuslts. So its bes to try and get it done in the AM. But 4:30am is early, so do cardio when you can, just try and make sure that it is at least 2.5 hours after your last meal. This will do a better job than no cardio at all.

Could also save yourself some time and do like 20min of low intensity cardio after weight lifting.

You could also alternate training days and cardio days, and do your cardio after work. Just make sure that the meal you eat before cardio comes 3 hours before your cardio, and that it's a fat/protein meal. You can also utilize an ECA or other "energy stack" which will help to replicate more of the "morning cardio" aspects/benefits.
