Paddeling good or bad for developement on cycle ?

I do surfski paddeling on aversge 3 time a week and use it as my cardio along with surfing.
Obviously these 2 sports use arms allot, will this benefit muscle growth have a negivive effect or just work as norlmal cardoi ?
I know under normal circumstance this isint an effective means of gaining muscle but is that the same for on cycle.
ps I really hate running

hi philip

i cant see why it wont help with development unless you overwork them and cause some damage.

When I was still living on the coast and surfing allot, I stayed at 6% bodyfat year round, and never touched a second on a cardio machine... I did notice that you burning over a 1000 calories a surf sometimes if its cranking and you out there for a few hours.. So you need to make sure you eating enough calories on days like these.

cool , you need to move back to the coast, i cant live without the sea !!

I will, end of the year probably, just setting up a company then will do the same on the coast.

Nice pump, where about you thinking of? And where were you from originally?
