Would sprinting help your lifting for explosiveness?

betsie2k · Apr 20, 2008

When I have watched the olympics I have noticed that 100m sprinters are quite well built.

Would doing sprints along with weight training help cut fat and promote a better physique?

My current training goals are hypertrophy and to put on weight - but over time.

I have been 'bulking' for about a year now and have managed to get away with not putting on much fat.

9.32 seconds, hehe joking.

Dont know, never did it. But i was always the fastest in schools, and i played for 3 different rugby teams and was also the fastest player.

Also i went to an athletics club when i was younger, and in a regional event, i came second in the final, losing to a person with running shoes and a starting block.
