    cardio every morning?

    would it be counter productive or would it allow me to loose a little fat while bulking

    while bulking i would do cardio 3-4x a week on an empty stomach at 65% of ur max heart rate for 45 min.

    45 minutes 2 long IMO, stick with 20-25 min 3-4 x/week. Either in the morning or after your weights.

    1 hour a day in the morning .....it's smart . your not going to burn muscle while on gear. start the dy with a shake then hit the cardio then breakfast.

    Depends on the body type and how easy you gain muscle. I know plenty who dont even do cardio during a contest phase let alone a bulk one. But they usually have metabolisms that are fast as hell.

    Would there be anything wrong with doing 45 minutes of cardio on an empty stomach 5 times a week ? (While bulking) I'm not expecting to put on mass AND drop body fat. I'd be doing it more to get me hungry since I always have problems eating in the mornings.

    How do you manage to drink your oats, do you put them in a blender first ?

    I do the same thing as ChemKing, shakes tastes absolutley awesome this way IMO.

    1) First cook your oats as you normally would (In the microwave w/ water)
    2) Then drop an ice cube or two in to cool it off.
    3) Get your protein powder, milk or water, etc ready
    4) Add oats to mixture then blend!

    I personally use a hand blender. A great investment and way easier to clean then a blender.

    Good Luck
