Thread: Best type of cardio to do whilst bulking?

i'm looking to start doing some cardio after a couple of my workouts each week, mainly for fitness/health reasons to keep my heart and BP healthy, but also to keep my metabolism in order and thus to help keep off unwanted bodyfat

when cutting i do HIIT in the mornings when i'm not lifting, but i'm soon to be on a 5 day split and would like to have at least 1 (prefrably 2) morning(s) off each week, and HIIT is pretty hard after a tough weights session

would you recommend still using a modified HIIT approach? or some other interval approach? or just regular cv work? and what sort of intensity/duration should i aim for?

obviously i want an approach that is going to benefit my health, but at the same time have minimal interference on muscle gains

My suggestion would be not to do a 5 day split. However, if you must, then I would simply try to separate the cardio and lifting sessions by as many hours as possible on days that you must perform both.

I think any form of cardio will be just fine so long as you make sure you have some food in you before you do it. I'm sort of partial to higher intensity methods, but I like to throw in some solid-state cardio often enough.
