Okay, I was always a pretty good runner, although I tended to prefer longer-distance running as opposed to sprints -- but long-distance running plays hell with testosterone levels. And as an esthetics-oriented lifter I also like the idea of nutrient-partitioning. But I like the way Loki puts it:
Trying to lose fat? You should be sprinting. Trying to gain lean mass? You should be sprinting. Trying to defy conventional established wisdom and be really badass and do both simultaneously in an effort to 'recomp?' Then you damn-sure NEED to be sprinting. And a look at the physiological effects and adaptations elicited by consistent (and possibly even infrequent) sprint-sessions, which I shall now share with you... will make things abundantly clear.
And make it abundantly clear he does, in his discussion of "the purest, most powerful physique-shaper in an athlete's arsenal," parts one and two.
I like doing my sprints on hills, which, fortunately, are easy to find in El Paso.
