Gaining CUT mass

qualters Posts: 343 Joined: 2002/04/21	2002/06/01, 05:09 PM I am into the 8th week of my 12 week mass program and am seeing great results. If I added Animal Cuts to the picture (already have) is it possible to get some type of cut from doing the 12 week mass program? Meaning if I stick with mass building exercises will it help cut too? at all? maybe a little? LOL Thanks, I hope I have not confused everyone so much that no one can even answer this post..LOL BQ ---------------------------- AMERICAN MADE

One thing that concerned me when I was considering this issue was confusing my body. I didn't want to pull it in too many directions. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

Thats why I popped that question. I was thinking how to get some cuts while bulking. Myabe I will strat doing some cardio 3 times a week again Thanks BQ

Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/06/03, 10:42 PM Should I not do cardio during a mass program? I mean it doesn't make much sense for me to stuff myself all day long, then do cardio to create more work for myself! Do most builders only do cardio during the cut phase?? -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

It's not uncommon for them to gain about 40-50 pounds during the off season, then melt it all down as they get closer to comp. If you aim to gain mass, too much cardio will be counterproductive. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
