Summing Up
So summing up, under most circumstances, I think keeping a reasonable amount of moderate intensity cardio in the training program, even when the goal is explicitly mass gaining can be beneficial for most trainees (the major exception being the extreme hardgainer types).
Potential pros include improved recovery, improved work capacity, better calorie partitioning, improved appetite (sometimes), perhaps staying leaner and an easier time shifting back into dieting when the mass gaining phase is over. The cons, including hampered recovery and systematic overtraining only really become an issue when too much volume or too high of an intensity is performed.
A minimum of three sessions per week (up to perhaps a maximum of 5) of reasonable duration (20-30 minutes minimum up to perhaps 40 minutes maximum) at a low to moderate intensity (70% of maximum heart rate or less) should achieve the benefits I talked about above without causing any of the problems that I also discussed.

@chris 🤣😂🤣❣. excellent post. I don't "do" cardio per se, however a good yoga class combined and/or 10 to 20 minutes in the pool 1 to 3 times a week seems to be serving me well. love the posts big D!💪👍👊

Question. I was 230 when I started working out in August and 30.8% body fat which put me in obese category. I’m now 218. I’m 50 and have been doing both weight training and cardio. I eat around 2,00-2,400 calories daily. I had my body fat tested today by same trainer as original and I’m now 22.5 % body fat. 8.3% of my original fat equates to 19 pounds of fat metabolized but my weight loss has only been 12 lbs. is that because muscle weighs more than fat?

iIts because you're gaining muscle while you're losing fat, reshaping your body and improving your body composition. You're doing it the right way, keep it up!
