    First Cycle - Bulking - How much is too much cardio?

    Hey guys for my first cycle I am going to put on some lean mass and eating very clean.

    In order to avoid fat loss, or perhaps inadvertently shed a few, How much cardio can I do?

    Currently I'm at 2 days a week @ 30 minutes.

    But I'm thinking something like 3 days a week @ 30 minutes (Low intensity) and then 15 Minutes After every workout (Except legs)

    during your bulking cycle....it is more up to your diet then anyone thing....but yes keep the cardio light unless you start gaining to much...i would get your BF% checked at least once a week and ajust your diet before you ajust how much cardio you do..

    WTF are you talking about!? everyone should do cardio both to increase insulin sensitivity, promote recovery and and improve conditoning, as well as keep fat levels in check on a "bulk"

    OP I would do 3-5 LIC sessions a week along with 1-2 HIIT type workouts gradually building up your work capacity and not eating into recovery.

    The cardio schedule you suggested in the original post should serve you well.
