Doing less just means that you're not burning as many calories or getting your metabolism sped up. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

Since you need to consume more calories than you expend to gain mass, just do cardio for a period that is comfortable to you and doesn't put you in a calorie deficit. There is no one period of time good for cardio, it is different for everyone. Good luck! -------------- Matt Sweeny, Athlete and Bodybuilder
