mass building and cardio

scuffymajorca Posts: 20 Joined: 2003/02/25	2004/03/19, 09:22 PM im on a mass building plan, 4000-4500 calories daily,. If i do cardio, 30-45 mins of jogging, i should be able to bulk up while putting on next to no fat right?. Oh i do cardio in the morning as soon as i get up before eating a hearty breaky. Will the cardio slow down my muscle gain? hmm so many questions.....

Jogging is low intensity cardio, and does squat to raise base metabolic rate. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
