Some succeed but most not. I can't give you definitive answer on this. If you keep eating a lot and your scale will go up slowly (about 2lbs a month) then you should keep doing HIIT. But if you see that even with tons of food you aren't gaining then stop or adjust to less intensity. Let me know what you decide and how it goes for you, it would be interesting to see your results. I myself might do it if it works for ya! ;) Cheers, Adrian Hey Jason,

I like to run sprints to stay lean, while avoiding long distance jogging. Do you think this will hinder my muscle gains/ should i quit all cardio. Im 6'0 170, around 10 percent body fat. I really just want to get stronger/bigger but subconsciously i want to stay lean. If i make sure to eat a ton, can i keep doing my hiit? What do you think about high intensity interval training?

I'm tall and thin, with every muscle being very obvious through the skin, similar to the picture. I've always had a hard time gaining weight. I've tried everything from watching TV while eating Ice cream for several days to working out hard and eating plenty of meat. I remain around 120 pounds, and I have since early Highschool. After I hit 21, I became pretty comfortable with it, because even though my general size and weight didn't change, every muscle increased in size and my strength shot up thanks to my working out. I may not be a body builder, but I look good without clothes, even though I weigh so little and am so thin. I don't have time these days for much exercise, but I hope I can get back in a routine soon. I’m an ectomorph.
