Am currently bulking and would like to add cardio in order to bring my fitness level back up , I currently have 3 months left of my bulking .

I would like some advise on what cardio to do which wont effect my gains.

Any advise would be great thanks

I do circuits.

2mins Treadmill / 2 mins bike / 2 mins Crosstrainer / 2 mins Stepper = 3 times. I do this after 40mins Weight training. So my workout lasts 1 hour and it dont effect my gains. I do this 4 times a week.

hope this helps.

HIIT is the way to go IMO.

Means spending less time doing boring a55 cardio also, which is a bonus!

While bulking, cardio is more about keeping your heart and lungs healthy then actual fat burning, so low intensity cardio is not much use here.

HIIT will burn some fat (maybe more than low intensity) and give you a good GPP workout too, especially if you vary the activity.

2 or 3 HIIT session's a week, or as TH&S mentioned, tabata pwo could also work well.

Dunno about you bully but 3x 4min tabatas sessions per week sounds better to me than running....

No cardio will hurt your gains if you eat enough.

Unless of course your running marathons.

He recommended them to me, just started last week and OMG I felt awful yet buzzed afterwards. So they must be good.
