Or at least attempt to explain why too much aerobic excersise can hinder bulking? I've read in a few places that when trying to gain muscle mass, yuo should try and cut back the cardio, as apposed to weight loss.

Can anyone elaborate?
 
Sure, the point in bulking is to gain weight/muscle and so we need calories. When doing excessive cardio, this burns calories that are needed to be used for bulking.
 
An adaptation to aerobic exercise is a higher mitochondria count within the muscle, which takes up space that more A&M could be in. This will hurt strength gains. Also fiber types adapt to exercise over time, either to be more powerful or more aerobic.

Oh sure, throw out the simplified answer. I thought you would've learned something in those classes by now. ;) :p
 
so can someone explain how exactly to lose alot of fat and gain muscle at the same time? should i cut back the cardio (stationary bike 35 mins) to twice per week? and increase the weight training to 3 times per week? and while we're on the subject, will doing cardio 1-2 days after a leg workout hinder muscle growth? i'm not too sure, in English please Mreik :cool:

You cant.

It's nearly impossible to do without the use of anabolics. You need to either cut or bulk.

The normal for doing cardio while bulking is usually 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes to keep excessive fat gain to a minimum.
