Cardio , Muscle gain....
If someone was to run sprints and work on jumps 7 days a week (short sessions). How would this effect muscle gain(would it hurt it alot)? and how effective would this be for fatloss?

Yep, But I'm wondering to what degree?
Like alot of muscle loss with some fat loss, or some muscle loss with alot of fat loss?
Sprinting is suppose to make you produce more test, and like many professional sprinters there very muscular , and of course track is known for steroids .

Muscle gain and fat loss will largely be determined by your diet. However, I've noticed both occur from running sprints before. If your new to them be prepared for some significant hamstring development. Also, I've noticed my shoulders, arms and upper back (not sure why) all respond well to repeated efforts of 100m sprints.

Not sure about the jumps, but I'm quite a strong pusher of sprints/interval training for cutting and keeping fat off during a bulk...of course...all with a good diet and weight training
I suggest u have a look at Loki's articles on sprints http://magazine.mindandmuscle.net

Smak.....I wish I was 250.
What weight are you at now?
I'm between 6'4''-6'5'' and weigh 245.
The weird thing is that I'm doing alot of cardio , but getting heavier.

I keep it at 45 minutes at 70% of my THR which for me is a light, brisk walk on an incline treadmill. The only thing that I do different is in the winter I eat pretty much whatever I want to or feel like. In the summer I keep a more strict diet. I'm sure you're well aware that us tall guys need to eat pretty much whatever in order to gain weight.
Now for yourself, if you're doing cardio at least 3 times a week with intense training at least 3 times a week you shouldn't be gaining weight like you say you are. I don't think it's necessary to bump up the cardio to help lose weight. 3 times a week should be more than enough. What does your diet look like? Are you eating alot of fast food? Lay it out for me if you can. ThanksLast edited by Smak; 12-26-2005 at 06:44 PM.

My goal now is to be at a lean 235-240lbs. But I would rather be at 250lbs all muscle, if being that big didn't slow me down. ( right now trying to gain muscle while loseing fat, some say it can't be done , but it can.)
Now on to my diet It's horrible. I eat all protein. Or whatever that doesn't have much fat or sugar. No sweets, no fastfood. Tuna, chicken , some veggies. Like I said not a specific meal plan diet sucks, but I eat like I'm a starving horse from ethiopia.
What I do for training is considered by many people as way to much. I lift 6 days a week. With only 2 different workouts. I was doing very little running, probly once or twice a week. Now I'm running atleast 4 times a week. No long distance shit, I hate that. Sprints, jumps stuff like that. Every workout is another max lift for me. Strength is skyrocketing, slow lean muscle gains I'm having, with not much visable fat loss. I know I'm loseing fat , but not to where I want to be.
Whats your training/diet look like?
Like you said it's interesting seeing what others do given we have similar stats.

I say this because right now during the winter months the only set thing I keep in my diet is my 3 protein shakes.
BTW where are you from big dog?Last edited by Smak; 12-26-2005 at 07:34 PM.

Yeah , I did morning cardio during the time I was injured. At the time I was around 258lbs. not fat but not as cut as I am now. Mad that I couldn't lift so All I did was run. After surgery and a long time without lifting I was down to 217lbs.(I weighed 217 in october and got back to 235lbs. in 1 month now that I was lifting and hellbent)
I feel that running in the morning on an empty stomach burns away my muscle, so I usually run later in the day, or after a workout.
I usually have a protein shake after a workout for those quick grams, and I also get easilly over 300+grams a day.

I need to run to lose fat.
If my diet wasn't so shitty I would run less.
Fat is mostly on my hips not as much so on my stomach. It's getting pretty annoying too.
How many days a week should I run to get the benefit of losing fat, and while gaining muscle? 2,3 days?
And should I walk on some other days as well?
