Chris Bumstead recommends doing cardio even during a bulk, emphasizing it won't significantly impact calorie intake or muscle growth. He clarifies that moderate cardio (20-30 minutes) doesn't sacrifice muscle unless taken to extremes. For fasted cardio, he suggests taking amino acids beforehand to protect muscle mass. Bumstead shares his personal experience that cardio improved his appetite, reduced fat gain, enhanced muscle utilization, and positively influenced his overall body composition during offseason training.
