Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I tried a search for it and couldn't find any real answers.
Will the cardio on off days kind of "negate" any hypertrophic gains on your lifting days? I was planning on swimming probably 2 days a week for about 20-25 minutes. I just don't want my body flip-flopping between anabolic/catabolic states and end up spinning my wheels. I still plan on maintaining a clean, high intake of calories, but I'd like to burn off some excess flab, which brings us back to the age old "tradition" of you can't burn fat and grow your muscles at the same time.
What do you HST experts say? Just drop the cardio altogether or what?
