Jogging...

[Sebass67]

I am 270...prob b/w 20-25% bf...
Looking to trim down a bit...I planned to be 270 in late AUG so i am a little early, so planning to cut down and bulk one last bit to keep muscle to fat as high as i can...I also figure eating big will help come test time...

As for jogging...how catabolic is it? How long should i go? Or should i just do HIIT instead? if anyone has any HIIT links that would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...

Ketones are protein sparing

Maybe not the best HIIT link but it sure shows the difference between HIIT and conventional means of cardio.

Some might even suggest sprinting, leans you out and its somewhat anabolic.

You're a football player which is enough of a reason to forget jogging and do sports-specific cardio.

Sprinting, agility drills, weighted and non-weighted GPP etc...

Sprinting, is a great way to put on muscle and lose fat at the same time...perfect for "bulking with control."

Yeah i started sprinting...it was nuts...and assuming i still ate the same amount of food put on like 5 pds in weeks...
Might be the R-ALA as well..

don't even think about jogging if you are planning on playing ball, when was the last time you jogged during a game? On the way in and off the field. If you want I could give you a hundred different things to do to improve your speed and body comp at th same time.......remember you are only given a certain amount of recovery ability so the answer is almost never work more, it is work smarter and more effecient.
