Default Re: My first \"Starting Strength\" workout

[ QUOTE ]
Thoughts on adding in the HIIT cardio program after this? I'm planning on starting this soon and it would be nice if this were possible since going to the gym 6 times a week for 3 SS sessions and 3 HIIT sessions wouldn't be realistic.

I did HIIT immediately following my SS sessions for my entire run on the program. I dropped the HIIT entirely recently because now I'm on a 5x5 program, and after 25 heavy squats plus warm-ups it's just too much.

It's not best to do cardio immediately after a workout like SS. It will slow your gains. But for convenience it's too much to ask to split them up for most people.
