I don’t know if I like the idea of 5 day week cardio while bulking, you could be using up calories that you need, maybe 2-3 times a week wont do you much harm look in to your diet for gaining lean mass while bulking..

if u do it 5 times a week i would say keep the runnin time down. 25-30 max. and not runnin but a descent pace jog.

Lean mass takes time......any type of bulking your going to put on some fat.....IMO it's either one or the other.

I tried not to believe that..but it is 100% correct. I have concentrated on cutting and I have lost 10 lbs already in 2 1/2 weeks. My strength is down from benching 365 to like 315 which is pissing me off...but I guess I have to deal with it. I take glutamine before cardio and that works with energy but I'm still getting weaker..even tho it doesn't seem like I have lost any muscle mass??
