is it okay to do HIIT when you are also bulking at the same time? According to what i read in the other threads,it burns fat if fueled proper.So, perhaps its okay to do HIIT 2 times a week while bulking?thanks

HIIT while Bulking

I wouldn't suggest it. HIIT is intense and one of the most important aspects of a bulking cycle is the recovery period. You'll be compromising this, and diverting potentially muscle-building calories. If you feel like you have to do cardio, I'd stick to low to moderate intensity.

On days that I am lifting I do
R - 3 minutes (10.0km)
S - 1 Minute (13.0km)
I do that for 20 minutes before working out and I do not think it hinders my strength when lifting although the general concensous is that it will affect your lifting
During my chest, tricep and legs workout I do chest, then triceps, then do:
R - 1.5 Minutes (10.0km)
S - 1 Minute (15.0km)
I just do that for 5 minutes.
I know it isn't ideal to do this much on weights day but I am really trying to cut down my body fat % for now and this really uses up my energy enough. If I wanted to do this amount of work without the cardio I would need to spend longer lifting each day.
