I'm bulking up in preparation for a BNBF comp next year. How much cardio and at what intensity should I be doing? At the moment I'm doing 30/45 mins moderate 6 times a week and one hillwalk/jog of 2 1/2 hours once a week (think maybe this should be dropped ?) Any advice please. I don't want to lose hard earnt muscle, but don't want to build up any more fat stores

No expert but I would reduce it to maybe 20 mins three times per week and see how you get on if you feel you are putting too much chubb on just increase it by another 10 mins or so and monitor.

Agreed. When bulking i stick at around 20-25 mintues 3 times a week and adjust according to how i feel and look. At most i think i've only ever done around 30-35 mins 3 times a week steady state.

That looks a lot like Angie in your avatar :S....she used to own hot-bodz in my hometown

I'm jealous

. I'm carrying too much lard at the mo', so it would be good to see that decrease VERY gradually, my main concern is packing on as much lean weight as is possible over the next 12 months, before cutting.
Thanks for the advice guys

30/45 minutes 3 times a week works a treat

Beefycol - lost 5lbs according to scales and clothes are feeling a lot looser - and that's with the new meal plan from James, on which I have an intake 11 times a day. I'll stick to cardio of 20 - 30 mins per day. Just got an amazing new workout regime, so may even have to up intake further at some point.
