I’m bulking right now but adding 2–3 light cardio sessions per week Helps appetite and keeps fat down Do you guys do cardio during bulk or skip it completely

I keep in 2–3 light sessions too Helps my digestion and keeps me from feeling sluggish during a big surplus

I always do a bit of cardio on bulk Nothing crazy just incline walking It keeps my conditioning decent for leg days

I skip cardio only when I’m struggling to eat enough Otherwise 20–30 minutes a couple times a week actually helps my appetite

I treat cardio like a tool If I notice fat creeping up too fast I add a session If my weight stalls I pull it back

Light cycling 2x a week works great for me Doesn’t kill my legs and keeps my heart rate in check for heavy lifts

I used to avoid cardio completely but honestly my bulk feels way cleaner when I do 1–2 short sessions a week

As long as you’re not doing HIIT every day cardio won’t hurt your gains Low intensity stuff is totally fine

I keep about 15 minutes post-workout just to stay conditioned Makes cutting way easier later because I’m already used to some cardio
