If you do cardio while bulking you'll build up a decent cardiovascular base to use ready for cutting; it's pointless to wait until you "need" the cardio aspect in your cutting before actually doing any, that just makes your cutting phase that much harder to accomplish.


Just do it! :vroam"

Agreed. You must know your body type. Ecto's need very little cardio to lose weight so they must be very careful during a bulking phase where as Endo's need days of cardio to lose weight. That must be taken into consideration.

I'm an Endo and i'm doing LISS cardio for 30min 5 times a week during my bulking phase.
