cardio while bulking?

[moosecles]

Do any of you guys do some cardio while bulking?
Right now im on a 3day mon/wed/fri routine, im wondering if i should do some light cardio on tues/thurs doesnt have to be in the morning on an empty stomach, ill save that for cutting just curious on whether you guys think it will be a good or bad idea. Im not trying to be soo huge, but to make things simple if you guys know who mark whalberg is (marky mark) when he was in his prime condition, thats basically my physical goal.

thanks

do not do cardio when bulking-it is counterproductive

IMHO, it's not as simple as "do not do cardio when bulking." You can benefit from cardio, even when bulking. I would suggest you eat 2 hours or so before you do it so youre body has something to burn for energy besides fat and muscle. A 20 minute cardio session here and there is good for your heart. It will also help you with proper breathing and endurance during your strength training (read: you will be less winded, if you tend to get winded during lifting, I do not, but then again, I do periodic cardio).

personally, I'd throw in some light cardio 2x's per week.
maybe an easy jog @ 5.0 speed for 20 minutes.

Cardio releases cortisol and lowers testosterone - aside from that it also raises your caloric expenditure for the day thereby requiring you to eat more to achieve the previous dietary goal.

IMO - Its a waste of time while bulking - even if you are trying to achieve a smaller look, its as ddc stated 'counterproductive'. Bodybuilders manipulate there mass in cycles - Picking one would yield better gains faster.
