i know..sounds like a bad idea. but so far i've gained 10 lbs

i was 140 now 150. anyways everyone always says doing hard cardio just burns off everything but, i kinda want to start doing sprints so i can get faster for soccer. how much will this effect goal to bulk up?

sprints are like wts and are anaoblic meaning they raise growth hormaone and testosterone which is what makes you gain muscle....it's endless cardio that burns muscle up so as long as your fuelling youself properly beforehand, sprints are f'in great

for speed focus on starts ovedr 20m 1st for maybe 10sets

for consditioning 5 x 50m, 30secs rest adding 1 set each week

if you do sprints at soccer training though you'll need to work it all in as you can't sprint all the time
