    calories/cycle ?

    im not sure if this is the right page or not but i view this page the most so here it goes. im apologizing up front if this is the wrong page.

    while on my cycle, test e and deca .... should i not do any cardio where i dont burn as many calories and my muscles have more calories to feed off of? thats prolly hard to understand, its not coming out in writing like i want. i guess im trying to ask should i do any cardio? and if i am doing crdio should i up the calories? alll calories im taking in are good no junk!

    yea definately do some sort of cardio... im bulkin right now myself, and i do 20min of cardio 3X a week... just light though, on an elliptical or tredmill... wanna keep your cardiovascular health in good shape. Keep the cals around 4500 - 5000 and you'll be fine

    Hey Bro,
    Either your calorie counter is busted or mine is....1300cals. an hour, have you check your HR...must be pumping like 230-240. Best I can do is 650-780 and I pace it at 6.0-10 mph on intervals. Might want to have someone do calibration, or maybe it's me....

    it's important to do cardio no matter what your goals are; you just do more or less dependant on those goals.

    When I'm bulking I'm eating 4500 cals/day and doing cardio EOD.

    its the incline that makes me burn so many if i did an hour at that speed with no incline then i would prolly burn half that. i dont really go by what the machinme tells me all i know is that it is consistent, every time it says about the same thing so i know im getting the same thing every time no matter how many calories i trully burn

    theres no way anyone could do 6 or 10 mph on a 30% incline, it would kill you!!! i have that the inclines burn more calories than anything!!! the incline puts it on me, my calfs get a great workout from it, if i miss a week they are sore the next day!
