Sprints?

[war_eagle]

I have a question about sprinting. I am currently bulking but don't want to lose my speed and endurance while doing so. That is why I want to know, would sprinting cause me to lose excessive amounts of muscle or would it help me? Any info particuarly from sprinters would be appreciated. Thanks

P.S. And if it's okay, would I do it before or after lifting?

If you do high intensity sprints for 10 - 15 minutes, with adequate rest intervals in between, then you won't lose muscle. You will lose muscle if you go for longer periods of time.

Don't do it before lifting because you will hinder your gains in the weight room.

Yeah i'd try to do your sprints on days you aren't hitting the weights, i'm going to start them myself soon.

Sprinting is one of the best ways to keep fit and save muscle, just take a look at the top sprinters, they still have nice arms, wide shoulders and good pecs to go with their strong legs, unlike marathon runners who look like they just escaped from a POW camp and have 10 inch arms, urgh.
