Cardio while bulking?

Hey bros,

You've all seen my recent pics i'm sure.

I know gaining some fat while bulking is inevitable, but I think (not sure what you guys think) that I could drop some bodyfat Is it okay for me to do cardio 2-3x per week 30-45 minutes in the morning, during bulking to lower my bodyfat? I mean i'm not a TOTAL lardass, but I dont like looking this sloppy..What do you guys think?

Why not do 20-25min a day on an incline treadmill at a slow jog. It shouldn't hurt your bulking any. Besides, if you think it it is you can always change it or cut it.

Just make sure your calories stay high. Good luck!

I agree, I've even had a problem with a little cardio even while bulking up. I just like doing 20-30 minutes of light cardio in the AM just to watch up before my workout.

Just keep the intensity and you should not hurt your bulking at all.

yeah never stop cardio completely, it is good to do it regularly but at a lower intensity and time......i stopped completely last winter on my bulker and when it came time to do it again i was completely out of shape IMO, felt sluggish and fat..........cardio is great for keeping you heart and lungs in good shape while on cycle.....

no i agree bro, i am not saying do 30-40 minutes and go really hard but just even walking on a treadmill at a moderate pace to keep your cardio going, i feel that my workouts go much better when i do cardio year round, if i slack off i can tell in my workouts......

I've always read that doing cardio while bulking only makes it harder to get cut.
