I'm sure we hav some guys who do a ton of cardio, not just when dieting but year around
Do you guys feel that doing a good amount of cardio (say 30 min every day) actually affects recovery from heavy training? With a low volume approach, or a high volume?
Me personally I have felt like a ton of cardio when cutting, low calorie, has contributed to fatigue, but not when bulking as Long as its not a ton of HIIT and the step mill.
Advantages of doing cardio even when bulking are health, allows you to keep lean, consume more food, increased blood flow, probably helps with insulin sensitivity
But I know some feel it hampers recovery, and if done when bulking, it should not be done post workout but done away from workouts. I haven't noticed any less progress when just doing it post-workout myself. Could be tricky for guys who use slin pre- or post-workout as you could go hypo or all the carbs may make an environment where its not really an ideal time to do it.
