cardio while gaining mass

Joe1982 · 07-12-2005, 02:47 AM

ok i know that while gaining mass the ammount of cardio you do is supposed to be very limited.

But with the rugby season fast approaching i need to start getting to a reasonable level of fitness. So am gonna start running at least 3 times per week arounud 3-4 mile per run.

However i am currently trying to add a bit mass and realise that this would hamper my gains

What could i do to mininmise the loss of gains.

Less cardio is not an option.

Low intensity cardio shoudnt place to much strain on your nevous system carido will help burn caloires but if you eat enough to counter it you shouldnt lose any, and you will get the benifits of a better CV system.

So just eat that bit more.

if less cardio is NOT an option then do what do what the others said, EAT MORE. if you dont see any weight gain when your "eating more" then your not eating enough.

Do sprints for power Drink whey powder after training/eat more protein
be well hydrated before run
your gonna get fit anyway so you may have to keep pumping a little iron threw out the session
