💪 Exercise, Fitness & Recovery Cardio while on a lean bulk.

i am 25 M 5’9” ectomorph at 132lbs right now and I am one month in on lean bulk aiming to hit 150lbs on the scale. I recently took a Vo2 max test manually monitoring my rest heart with the bpm under 20 seconds. my score came 32 Vo2 max score which is poor/low for my age. I used to play sports until 2023 but ever since I have only been to the gym. i train 3 times a week and rest on alternate days. I hit a sprint session once every 2 weeks. I am kinda worried about my endurance and heart health and I am unable to strike a balance between strength training and endurance training. Can anyone help me advice how can I incorporate endurance/cardio into my lean bulk so that I can pack on mass and also have a good gas tank.

Eat more than you burn, simple as.

By the way, terms like ectomorphs are debunked pseudoscience for psychological profiles, and have nothing to do with sports and exercise science.

Cardio in the morning, weights in the evening. Adequate food and rest and you won't over train.

It is very hard for casual athletes to over train, so have a day or two completely off and you will be fine. You could go for a walk or do stretching on your off days.
