Hey guys!
I currently barely do cardio because I'm scared it will eat up my gains.
I want to burn large.. But I dont know what effect muscle gains and what won't?
Last time I lost weight I burned 700cals everyday while powerlifting and I just got skinny after a while.
I doo not want that this time.
So when I do cardio I do interval training,
Stairs, things like that.
So what do you suggest is best to stay nice and swolen, but speed up weight loss a little?
And how many times per week?
Thanks!

i would say 30 minutes of cardio shouldnt effect gains.. but will still get some fat burning
Long distance cardio or walking 8 miles a day may but 30 minutes is OK0 -
True!! Thank Youu.0

maybe try bicycle? ride 6 to 7 miles... 3xs a week its cardio low impact and will keep the burn in the legs0

Yessss. That's a fabulous idea. Cause I love legs and core so perfect.0

You can also try some more strength related conditioning, like pushing a prowler, sledge hammer work, tossing a medicine ball, etc. All of these will help your conditioning, giving you cardio work, but shouldn't take away from your strength gains.
These types of conditioning work are more explosive movements that help carry over to powerlifting.0 -
Oh so true! I do powerlifting, so that's actually a great idea!0

Don't run an ultra marathon day after day and you should be fine.
