generally to bulk up as much as u can...u shouldn't do cardioo...however if you really want to...you can do it on days off from weight training or after weight training...

But remember that weight lifting alone does not give you the same health benefits as cardio - such as reduced blood pressure, reduced risk of heart disease etc. - for this you should be doing a minimum of 20 minutes cardio 3 times a week.
