Cut back my cardio?

[ComingOfAge25]

I just started my first cycle. I usually do cardio 4-5 days a week. Since im trying to put on a good 15lbs. Should i cut back to 2-3 days a week? Or stick to the 4-5 days

I would run maybe 20 minutes 3 times a week. I find my endurance suffers on cycle.

Keep it simple! Summer is coming so it won't hurt to do what you been doing. Once the gear starts kicking you might find you'll want to tweek things here and there.

Don't ever under estimate the importance of cardio. It all depends on what you run your heart rate at. Cardio keeps the heart strong so it doesn't have to work as hard to circulate. Nothing is more important than a strong heart!

what type of cardio training were you doing?

Hey oz thanks for that sweet potato recipe you gave me a few weeks back. made that shit last night mmmmmmmmmmmm. I figure i'll be uping my caloric intake when the test kicks in which should be enough to add the lbs. And ya summer is coming it was 80 here today.

i would cut back on the cardio if its very intense. incline walks are easy and dont impact my leg recovery but runs/bikes/elipticals all make my lower body strength gains worse. i would say moderate intensity cardio 2 days a week, low easy walking cardio another two days if you really want.

imo cardio is really good at one thing, increasing your appetite.
