Running for Bulk?

Hay-Stack87 Posts: 12 Joined: 2006/06/01	2006/06/27, 10:24 PM I am trying to bulk up and get stronger, but I really enjoy running and dont wish to stop! I am 6 foot 165 lbs and I am currently doing the 12 week Mass Gain program that is on this site. Is running gonna keep me from getting bigger/stronger or is it ok to run? I run only about 2-3 miles a day...

Like something with the software? ============= You know what... sorry for looking for help! I really dont give a sh*t what board im supposed to post it in! Im looking for help with this and it has to do with my weight lifitng routine and I am an experienced weightlifter... not all of us post 2745 times on this website and know exactly where to post each question that we have!!! Also thanks gatormade for the idea, I will drop my cardio and start doing sprints... does about 10 each day sound ok? or should i do more?

It is all good. You should, however care where you post questions as they might be answered quicker. Good Luck! -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk!

Valid question if you ask me. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2006/06/28, 06:46 PM Valid question, yes, but so is mine. A lot of boards have an FAQ section that has to be read before posting. While this question is more valid than others, I think it would be something to look into. Especially since non of the top 8 posts in this forum are forum related. It wasn't to say it was in the wrong area, just that it is a frequently asked question that could easily be handled. -------------- Iron and chalk. ============ Quoting from bisleri: I have heard that working chest and tricep on the same day leads to size reduction of the arms. Is it true. =============

arondaballer Posts: 1,054 Joined: 2003/06/14	2006/06/28, 09:01 PM I had no time to finish my post by the way. While I felt this post was valid, I am also getting frustrated with the large amount of off topic questions and agree with wrestler. Can nothing really be done? -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

	2006/06/28, 09:26 PM I like what grippermania.com did...they have a locked forum which u need a password to enter......because they discuss 'sensitive' topics in it....religion, politics, etc....which maybe offensive to some people.....so people have to email site administrator and tell them they are OK with the material being discussed.... this same strategy can be employed for another reason.....for example a person MUST read a FAQ and agree to post only questions appropriate to the forum before they can get a password....to enter the forum..... Agree completely with wrestler....
