Time to Stop Cardio?

[Turtle]

Been training in weights for about 2 years. 6 foot 2inches tall. Weight before lifting 130. Weight after 160. Before lifting I was always a runner. Did cross country, track and field. Anyhow I am starting to stagnate in weight gain now. Im eating about 3.5k calories a day but still no weight gain. Lean as fuck at 6% body fat.
I weight train 4x a week for about an hour each session, but I do cardio 5x a week for 30min a session as I have always ran. Im probably burning off 600 calories each time I run plus even more from a kind of after burn effect running at a high intensity 90% max heart rate. Keeps metabolism humming for a good 48hrs after. Anyhow I feel like im burning too many calories to gain weight right now. Is it time to stop cardio and just lift at a high intensity?

Eat more and cut back on cardio if you want to gain weight, you don't necessarily have to stop it completely. It is good for heart health.

Key to growing is eating. And for most of us eating to grow is harder than training. Lots of threads here to find calorie rich foods

Do 30 minutes of LISS to maintain the health benefits of cardio and just eat more

Low intensity steady state. So walking on the treadmill will count for this.

That's nothing my man. Time to invest in some more calories.
