Year round Cardio

[Braven]

Was just wondering what you peeps thoughts where on cardio and how often it should be done. I have normally only done cardio whilst trying to cut down but I just wondered if people did it year round to keep the BF low and just adjust calories to cut up. Reason I ask is cos i want to keep BF at 10% or under year round and try to add lean mass or do people think a clean bulk with no cardio and letting the BF rise to say 15% would be healthier and better for building muscle?

there is no rule that says you hve to gain double digits in bf to fet good gains... if i were you stay below 10% all year, eat clean and let your body grow! people often forget about the other benifits of cardio, like a healthy heart! and cardiovascular system... plus cardio build mitochondria.... i would do the cardio all year if it is needed to stay in a low bf%

if i stop doing cardio, I feel like my weight training suffers, I dont have the endurance the hit the weights hard the whole workout and I fade really bad at the end

That's exactly the reason why cardio should be done. Any type of cardio. It doesn't matter if is bike or playing footbal. This will keep you young and healthy.
