You can get away with more cardio in general when gaining, but it’s really subjective to be honest, and depends how much activity you’re doing outside of the gym, and how high a training volume you’re using.

For me personally, I can get away with a lot of LISS, but not everyone’s equal in that sense. A lot of this is due to the fact that I never push it with my Max Recoverable Volume, as it’s risky as hell and rapid strength/size progression isn’t my primary goal in life.

Just remember, if it improves your diet adherence and doesn’t get you injured, keep doing it.

Obviously I get that high intensity will impact your recovery, but if we assume low intensity, how much can you get away with?
