What Happens If You Do Lots of Cardio and Bulk?
Lets say you lift for 4 days a week and you are on a bulk diet. You also do cardio post workout out + a complete cardio day. What what happen muscle wise? Would you grow and minimize fat gain?

It all depends on if you're replacing those calories, and giving your body what it needs to build muscle mass. That's why I feel cardio is a waste of time and money on a bulk..

ive had the leanest gains when i do SOME cardio and bulk (no more than 3 times/wk)...HIIT cardio (sprints) btw.
works for me
Whatever you do, don't cut cardio out completely. But on that schedule I'd say you will need to up your calories to compensate for the ones burnt doing cardio.
Not if you want to stay fit... I hope you're referring to cardio cardiovascular health, or you don't understand calories in vs out and it's effects on build adipose tissue. If that's the case, than I feel weightlifting alone is enough to improve your cardiovascular health, unless you're playing for some kind of sport.

If that's the case, than I feel weightlifting alone is enough to improve your cardiovascular health, unless you're playing for some kind of sport. That's what cardio is short for bro, cardiovascular. I could go and get a definition for you but i cbf'd being a prick tonight.
I do understant cals in vs cals out, thats not the point. You can still eat over your maintenance while keeping fit (yes cardiovascual fitness), you will just have to eat more.
I don't feel that it's an excuse to drop in terms of fitness just for the sake of 'bulking'. And no, weightlifting does not increase or maintain cardiovascular fitness. Or not significantly anyway. To increase fitness, you need to keep your heart rate up for extended amounts of time, not the 20seconds it takes you complete a set.
Eat More. Its healthier to expend and make for up it in clean cals than to avoid Cardio.
Also:
Cardio helps build muscle. Low intensity Cardio (20-30mins) after weights helps increase blood flow to the muscles. Sip BCAA's and Whey during LI intensity cardio if your worried about not being able to gain muscle.
HIIT Sprinting will HELP Increase your Muscle mass, as will Swimming.
If your eating enough.
'Long Cardio' especially Long Steady state cardio increase cortisol which will prevent you from gaining muscle. So try to get out and do your cardio.
