Cardio + Mass gaining - conflict?
I've read in different places that cardio is not necessarily a good thing when starting to train for mass gain.
However, I've also read several articles / posts where people say that STARTING their workout with some cardio is good to get the heart rate up and also bring up the body’s temperature.
I like the feeling of starting out with a little cardio, since it get me to a sweat and it does make start the heart pumping, (also doubles as pre-workout stretching) versus just walking into gym and hitting the weights.
The fear here is, if I am doing cardio at beginning of workout, am I impacting precious calories that are needed for mass gaining?
I only try to do about 10 to 15 minutes, and the machine tells me that approx 200 calories have been burnt.
I appreciate what the group thinks about this, thanks for your input.

Nothing wrong with a little warm-up cardio.
