cardio and bulking
Is it okay for me to be doing cardsio when bulking, as long as I cut it back? Or will it hurt my growth?

To refuse to learn anything that could prove beneficial to yourself is a working definition of stupid!
High-intensity training is going all-out, not almost all out. It is taking one set to one's absolute limit, not almost to the limit. It is using whatever equipment’s available. It is not the words of two or three men, but a commitment to work as hard as possible while in the gym without socializing, resting excessively between sets, or falling prey to the 'this isn't going to work so I'll copy the star' attitude"

Yeah, I would recommend a little cardio maybe once or twice a week and it should be light, especially if you have a really fast metabolism. However, if you are just desperate for every last pound you can put on(like me), just stay away from cardio all together, but don't get mad at me when your abs start to dissapear. Cause it will happen.
In which case, you can just wait until you are a little passed your desired weight and then go on a small cutting phase to get some more definition back.

noting wrong with doing a little cardio while bulking 2-3x a week. you don't need to do much maybe 25-20 minutes after weight training sessions.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

OK, this may seem a little stupid, but when I used to do cardio after training, I always felt like I was loosing what little I was gaining. Why is this, or is it just me?

limited energy reserves ? your daily caloric intake is increased, thus it is exactly the opposite of what you stated...Originally posted by mick01

It doesn’t matter how many calories you take in you still have limited energy reserves and recovery ability. If this were not the case a diet high enough in calories would enable a person to train every day for hours at a time.
My point is that the term "bulking" is total crap! People use it as an excuse to not monitor their diet. They normally take in way too many calories during a "crap" phase and get fat.
300-500 cals above maintenance will give you enough of a positive balance to put on one pound of muscle each week. Assuming your not going to increase you total exercise volume.
So if you’re getting fat during a "crap" phase your eating too much. Adjust your total intake to slightly over maintenance and you can gain lean mass without getting fat.
300 cals is approximately 1 cup of brown rice and a 3oz chicken breast. Not allot of food.Last edited by mick01; 06-19-2002 at 11:03 AM.

being able to weight train for extended periods has nothing to do with caloric intake it has to do with limited ATP stores and production...that is why weight traing longer than 45-60 minutes is counter productive...

You make it sound that increased caloric intake will give you greater energy reserves.
It will if you want to call stored body fat as an energy reserve.To refuse to learn anything that could prove beneficial to yourself is a working definition of stupid!
