Cardio for Bodybuilders

cutCEDARfreak Posts: 4 Joined: 2004/04/14	2004/05/06, 12:50 PM I have about 6-7% bodyfat and am trying to gain muscle mass. I would also like to keep my bf as low as possible. Does cardio decrease muscle gains? I have seen SO MANY articles arguing back and forth on this subject. Can anybody give me the straight truth...is cardio bad for muscle growth? -------------- It\'s supposed to be hard. The hard is what makes it great.

If you don't want to gain fat, it is difficult to get the calories needed to build muscle. -------------- I have some good news! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Gieco!
