Mainly for cardiovascular health, and keeping you from putting on too much bodyfat.
some say it helps release nutrients also...
keep your main muscle strong
i think it helps you grind out a few more deads and squats
sounds about right but how much should i be doing durring bulking?
That’s why I do cardio,,, to increase my stamina so I get better lifts. I alternate between riding my bike (for about an hour) and Stairmaster (40 minutes) every other day.Quote:

i dunno guys i was just worried that cardio would eat away at those precious calories needed to put on size thats my main concern, 45-1hr sounds a little steep every other day i was thinking more of a 20 min moderate walk or bicycle after a workout. Unless im wrong.
Beer,
I would just walk first thing in the AM if it were me bro. Walking before you eat will help burn your fat stores down some. So, if your calories are up and your protein intake is up you should still put on quality size during your bulk phase.
Ya gotta eat like a MOFO and train like a Mad Dog to get what ya want brutha.
Good Luck, MJ

Im willing to pay for this when i go on to my cutting cycle. i may have to cut a bit longer tho. I still have 2 months to bulk and i thinki'l start doing cardio next week. :cool:
