sprinting
Any opinions on sprinting? Currently cycling and trying to gain size and I actually heard sprints along with weights can help is this true? 6ft 4 228 pounds but lose weight easily

Sprints work great. Look at olympic sprinters. Great bodies,lots of power.
I can attest that sprints keep your power up as well as shredding you. Doesn't take much time either.

sprints are great. squats are better. IF sprinting takes away from your MRV and your ability to recover then I'd scratch them (save them for other times like dieting or cutting). Sure olympic sprinters have great quads and hammies, but they spend a lot of time in the weight room too. and remember big Ramy has way more developed legs then these sprinters do and he's never sprinted a day in his life.
just saying. most hypertrophic responses happen in the gym (though sprinting could be beneficial for you)

I like any HIIT training like sprinting. In the 1996 study, Dr. Tabata found that 100 minutes of HIIT over a 6 week period (4min/ed x 5days/wk) versus 1600 minutes of cardio exercise (60min/ed x 5days/wk) over the same 6 weeks that the HIIT trainee's VO2max was 10% lower than the cardio group but 28% higher in muscular strength and density. We're comparing results from 100 minutes of total HIIT workout as compared to 1600 minutes of jogging.
