Yeah lots of people stop doing cardio when they bulk because they don't want to burn the extra calories, but what I've learned is that you gotta do cardio, if for nothing else than for your health.
Yeah! And you can definately bulk and put on quality lean muscle while doing cardio regularly, just don't go over 30 mins of it. I can attest to that! Especially for guys like me who put muscle on slowly regardless of cardio, but put fat on at the drop of a hat, lol. Cardio is the holy grail for me
Nice man, I'm about to go do 10 mins of cardio right now haha. I'm keeping it at 10 for now cause it's not too hard and if anything it helps me strength by speeding up recovery like rustill was saying.
Ok guys ever since I started this workout and after I finished I'm both proud of myself and I FUCKING HATE MYSELF because this whole thing hurt SO FUCKING BAD .
No shit I can hardly walk it was like 3 hours 45 mins pure punishment. I nearly blacked out towards the end of the squat too like literally started blacking out and feeling faint during like set 7 and I told myself I'll faint and bust my head before I fucking quit beause this is torture. Agh I can't quit like there's some kind of despiration every workout because I can't live with myself if I quit. If I fail that's different, but quitting. No,.

God I wanted to stop sooo bad. But I'm weak from this surgery and I can't avoid workouts like this because they are gonna kill me. In fact, I should address them ASAP.
Listen, there's a point of diminishing returns. As much as I admire your work capacity, you have to listen to your body because its better in the long run.
It's one thing to have intensity and its another to push unnecessarily.
Not trying to lecture, just trying to keep you from getting hurt.

No, I know bro, you're right haha and me and you are tight so dude speak your mind! It was a demanding workout for sure but for some strange reason I'm addicted to stuff like that. I see intense growth in my legs especially my quads from these high volume leg days man.
It isn't worth getting injured over though, you are right. I'm gonna rack it and sit down if I ever begin to black out again. Thanks for getting on me brother
