Is a hour of cardio too much?

[Bledswole]

My man tryna gain muscle and weight while limiting as much fat as possible he’s going to go for 3500 calories a day,lift 4 times out the week and throw in a hour of cardio a day 3 times out the week. What y’all think?

Depends on the cardio really. And hour of walking sure, and hour on the treadmill and I would probably suggest another route.

One thing to look at is doing sprints, sleds etc as part of his cardio. Since he’s in a surplus he can get a good session in each week and that probably helps his end goal more than running on a treadmill IMO

Seems like a bit too much IMO with the cardio, unless maybe he's just walking. Should just have a small calorie surplus (which what you should do anyway IMO) or maybe even eat at maintenance until the strength gains plateau and then add cals when necessarily if he's that concerned about fat gain.

Thing is he feels it wouldn’t be too much because there will be three days where he’s still eating in a surplus and he’ll be doing absolutely no workouts,just going to work. So he’ll still get 3500 calories on those other 3 days but no cardio or weights and he thinks that’ll balance out.

His cardio by the way all includes a mixture of basketball games,biking and jumprope and battle ropes

Only cornball fags think this way.

Real athletes understand the value of all exercise.

Hour of cardio is unnecessary unless you're trying to lose weight drastically. I used to do it everyday on the treadmill...recently realized it's easier to just do more intense cardio in less time and consume less calories if you're cutting.

3-1 ratio in order to limit the interference effect.

51 minute mark.

Do some HIIT, Coumpound lift with high intesity;
1hour on the threadmill is not efficient. Specially when your'e older and busier.

I follow this youtube channel to get some ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/wearebluestar

You right. You can always add more weights.
