So I was wondering what can I do on rest days. I currently just started bulking and wondering if I can slip a few minutes of cardio on rest days so I wont get that fat. I want a clean bulk. Also on rest days is the4 diet you use on lift days the same? Do I still have to eat and have the same protein intake as the other days? Thanks!
 
Doing a clean bulk/not getting as much fat is a result of only slightly eating over maintainence. Are you doing that? A quick run isn't going to prevent big fat gains if you are eating wayyy too much.

How do you pack on cars?:D

What do I do on rest days?

1. Grow.

2. Recover.

3. Adapt and get stronger.

4. Keep my diet as planned and outlined.

5. Prepare for next workout: Analyze previous work out in the progression sense, carry over data from the previous workout, where it includes rep goals, and other progression goals to ensure progression is increasing from the previous workout to the one upcoming.

6. Of course work, and the daily life. :)

EDIT: There has been times in the past, where I did cardio (up to 4 sessions, and at the time it was steady state) on rest days. At other times just one or two. At other times, I have built "FreeForm" stations and would do "short burst" "plate weight" cardio on rest days (and on workout days), during certain times within my goal path. But, whatever I decided to schedule it was completed, unless work interfered (like having to go on a trip, where I would then adapt and improvise a different method of training).

Best wishes,
