I have always been one to keep in cardio during all facets of training, on/off, bulk,cut....for nothing else than sanity. It usually is 20-45minutes, first thing in the am or off days, depending on my goals.
Well, my question now is, I have been keeping it 6x a week as I try to pack on lean mass. It's first thing in the am, before my first meal and really helps to wake up, pump up my appetite, etc because I sit in an office all day. So, I'm walking aroud 3.5-3.7mph, 7.5-8.5 incline for 30 minutes every single morning. The scale is slowly moving up, abs are fading, which makes me nervouse in this sense. I am keeping cardio, but cranked my calories. When I try to sget precontest shredded down the road, am I going to now have to crank up the intensity, move it to 60 minutes a day and do it twice a day if neccessary??? SOmething I dont want to happen. ORRR, will the lowering of my cals come cutting time, lowering of my carbs, allow me to get back to shredded without having to increase cardio? Thoughts?
