gain mass and lose fat?

GOWAR Posts: 361 Joined: 2001/10/24	2004/03/18, 04:28 PM Howdy, I was wondering if anyone thought it was a good idea or bad idea to try and gain lean muscle mass and burn body fat away at the same time?? Can people do this???

Stay away from the cardio. Our one freshman volleyball player needed to put some LBM on because it was absolutely essential to her playing. It 5 weeks of training she put on 7lbs of LBM and took of 3lbs of fat. We never do cardio.

Is sprinting not cardio? Yes I know cardio is supposed to be keeping it up for 30 minutes or something but I would think since you get out of breath and it gets your heart rate up---- -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

And certain days I will run speed drills which will be running a bunch of sprints in distances of 10,15,20,30, and 40 yards. And make sure you always run these as fast as you can with good balance and form.
