in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I am thinking of doing 2 X 30 minutes per week, is that too much??? And on those days, should I eat to cover for those 30 minutes or should I just like I do every other day where I don't do cardio?

    Personally i like the simplicity of the same calorie goal each day.

    Factor in your cardio when deciding your daily calories. Adjust as necessary.

    Just keep it the same everyday and adjust weekly. That might mean increasing your daily calories X amount per day, but I wouldn't calorie cycle. Also look in tabata and HIIT! It's great while bulking

    Only cardio I do is when I run past the treadmill to the weights

    Depends on your end goal and where your at, muscle mass/body fat %. Proper macros along with your cardio ideas is definitely do able. The hard part is consuming the right amount of protein, carbs, and fats. Bulking + cardio done right = CUT...

    As a rower I'm trying to gain mass but not bulk so my strategy revolves around a calorie surplus whilst maintaining my 2x30 minutes of strenuous cardio every day. If that means eating 5000 calories then that's what I do.
