I have started lifting again hard and need to do cardo for my endurance to bring it back up, as well as to get rid of the gut that came along with a layoff and the absence of juice (donno why but now that im off for 9 months, i just store fat). I am bulking and upping weights yet need to do this and also want to lose that tummy but im not sure how I am supposed to go about this. when should i be doing cardio and how long?
 
MoM had a great fat loss transformation sans cardio.

diet is key to lossing fat...20 rep squats are like running a mile at high speeds for me.
 
youre bulking but want to lose fat. this is generally contradictory, but can be accomplished through an IF (Intermittent Fasting) diet and training protocol. basically you balance hypercaloric training and refeed days with hypocaloric cardio/off days to promote slight, frequent shifts from muscle gain to fat loss.

Here is a brief overview of the recomp strategy.

Whether you are bulking or cutting, cardio should be done a minimum of 20 mins 3 times per week IMO. Not necessarily for fat loss, but to keep your heart healthy.
