Anecdotal evidence. You might be right, but one example doesn't prove much.

Could be that sprinting burns less calories than long distance running so whatever he was eating finally was enough to let him put on muscle.

Also, sprinters have some of the most jacked physiques I've seen.

People who do a fukton of cardio and endurance **** look like ****, have fuked up hormone levels, and are prematurely aging. This has been documented for awhile now.

My last employer had some relay/marathon team and almost all of them were paunchy fat guys. They were able to run the races no problem but not one of them looked athletic

I do HIIT and cardio every other day.

HIIT is goat because it really hits that muscle group and pushes it.

Water is wet.
Sprinting or any type of HITT is going to put on more muscle. Activating and growing the fast twitch fibers for volume.

Do HIIT on elliptical or outside on a track after every lifting session crew

Takes very little time and works awesome to keep the bloatmaxx off and cardio performance up

When I did long sprinting in high school and college (400m and 800m events) I was effortlessly fit. Didn't even really lift weights that much and was still strong. Ate whatever

you mean to tell me if you do an exercise you're not used to that burns a lot of calories, you'll lose fat and gain lean tissue relevant to that new exercise?

Lifts:
Squat: 460x1
Bench: 400x1
Deadlift: 575x1
OHP: 250x2
Weight: 180 lbs.

Don't have heroes; look up to no one. Because as long as someone's leading the way, the best you'll ever be is second.

pheggets here think I'm trolling when I chit on squat and tell them to sprint instead.

Sprinting is the goat lower body/leg/athletic performance exercise. You'll get lean, dense, aesthetic legs vs the stubby fat powerchitter legs from lifting weights. Your legs were meant for sprinting/running. Squat is completely unnatural and fukks your chit up.

What's a good sprinting routine? Needs a lot of warming up I'd imagine.

I recommend taking days off between sprints. 2 days in between. It’s easy to overdo and fuk yourself up.

I alternate between a few miles at a lower pace on my echo bike, or a session of HIIT after my workouts.

HIIT feels better, but I don’t always have the energy after a hard workout, and don’t want to sell myself short by not being able to go balls to walls so a few miles of light cardio it is.

you can sprint on a bike or a rower or any cardio machine.

you sprint pushing a sled or pulling a sled

I like loaded carry sprints, especially front carries like sandbags

Agree. Just walk for steady state...no reason to beat up your feet and knees.

Yes.

What OP didn't mention is that HITT can help your mitochondria which may be part of the mechanism for the reduction in visceral fat.




Plus it just plain feels good when you have fit legs.
