Am I doing too much cardio?

[yung autismo]

Hi I've been working as a bike courier for jimmy johns. Biking 2 or so hours 5 x a week. I have not been losing any muscle but I have gained 4lbs most likely on my legs. I used to breathe like a horse going up hills but now I can shoot up any hill without raising my heart rate significantly.

Is having good cardio like this a good or bad thing in terms of muscle gain. I have noticed I gain a lot slower now. I'm not using any gear.

You gained 4lbs and don't get out of breath as easy as you used too. You tell me if it's putting you in the right direction or not.

Sounds like a good thing to me, just eat more if you're trying to gain.

Cant see it being bad at all.

I used to ride alot, 10 miles a day at least, thats 300 miles a month, over 3,000 a year. Best shape i was ever in. Awesome definition in my thighs. Hills are fun, what goes up must come down. Spedometer said like 40 mph on one downslope, talk about a ride.

Better blood flow, delivery of nutrients, more oxygen in your cells, and better lactic acid buffering.

You're headed in a direction. Is it the right one? Well you aren't using any gear so... no.
Get juiced out, go win the GABR, and tell your boss it's time for a RAISE!

I mean you gained muscle, and you're in better shape now lol. I can't imagine why good cardiovascular health is ever a bad thing man.
