When to do cardio when massin?

When do you think is the best time of the day to do cardio which will not effect your training energy levels?

first thing in the morning or after training will ensure that it's body fat your using instead of glycegen that will hurt your muscle gains.

Actually, you should do cardio in the morning to burn excess fat on your body. I would recommend this if you are cutting up.

You should do cardio in the evening if you plan to simply burn calories from the food that you have eaten during the day. You will most likely not burn fat by doing cardio in the evening since energy from carbs are the first to go, then fat is burned.

If mass is the goal, DON"T do cardio first thing in the morning.

Do it on your non-weight training days, after you've got at least 1 meal in.

C'mon guys, it seems like this one is split???

Which one is it first thing in the morning or after you train?

if you must do it for some unknown reason which you shouldn't do unless it is 1-2 per week. do it after you workout so your workout is fresh and your not already tired.

Actually after your first 20 minutes of cardio your glycogen stores are gone and you begin to work on your fat stores.

Add a little cardio in there even when bulking. Do 15-20 mins after a workout or whenever you can do it. It is beneficial for overall health. Do 2-3 times per week. It will not make you shrink like some people claim.
