varies for me depending on my work schedule. if i work an evening shift, i'll do cardio on an empty stomach in the morning first thing. 130 bpm / 45 min - a nice easy stationary bike ride while watching Saved By the Bell / Fresh Prince on TBS. if i work a morning shift i'll take my own bike out and ride the trails or just ride around the park / city - usually about an hour ride and heart rate monitor shows an average of 160 most times.

training cardio days isn't a problem. i wouldn't recommend it right before or right after lifting, but a morning / evening split. give yourself time to recover a little bit and refuel your body with food.

thanks man
so really cardio on a lifting day 1st thing in the morning will not affect my training or gains as i train in the evening?
and will cardio on an empty stomach effect my gains also? as im quite lean and main aim is to bulk?
