The Sweet Spot: Cardio in a Growth Phase
Cardio doesn’t have to disappear in a growth phase — but it also isn’t required.
In this episode of Momentum Vitamins, we’re clearing up one of the biggest points of confusion in muscle-building: how much cardio actually supports growth, and when it starts competing with recovery, strength, and staying in a calorie surplus.
We’ll break down why excessive or high-intensity cardio can interfere with the anabolic signal you’re trying to send, what the true “sweet spot” looks like for steps and low-intensity movement, and how to know when cardio is helping versus quietly holding you back.
This conversation is about intention — using cardio as an optional tool for health and enjoyment, not a requirement or a form of compensation.
Because your body can’t chase two rabbits… and your gains deserve clarity.
