Tip #9 Cardio and Muscle Growth

Many people believe you can't mix cardio whilst gaining muscle because your losing too much muscle. And in a way they are a right look at any marathon runner.

But simple moderate cardio is beneficial guys so listen up:

• It improves muscle recovery by getting the blood flowing which aids the repairing stage of muscle fibers. 
• It improves the body's metabolic responses to food by helping your muscles absorb the nutrients you eat, leaving less available for fat storage. 
• Your body is better conditioned making it a whole lot easier to transition from "bulking" to "cutting".
• You don't altogether lose cardiovascular fitness when bulking which keeps you healthy. 

Why to keep away from too much cardio when focusing on muscle growth:

• It can reduce your caloric surplus too much, in turn your muscles lose necessary nutrients.
• And too much cardio during your workout will leave you way too fatigued to complete a proper workout due to the excessive stress on your central nervous system. This will make it much more difficult for your muscles to grow. 

Hope this helped out guys!
