Bulking - No Cardio?
« on: January 11, 2007, 05:00:02 AM »
Have any of you managed to keep your bf% under 10% during a clean bulking up phase by lifting only.  I.e zero cardio or maybe just a little bike on the off days?  Just curious how many have felt that diet is 100% of staying lean....do you reduce cals on off days? Reduce carbs?  Skip pw shake only?  Thanks...

I say always do cardio, just maybe not as intense during bulking.  It is critical to heart health.

Whatever is going to get you up to your target heart rate for a solid 20 minutes about 3 times a week.  Use a good heart rate monitor because the ones built into bikes and machines are unreliable IMO.
