Re: combining HITT and starting strength
[ QUOTE ]
AZK,
Is there a problem w/ doing HIIT on same days as SS (other than it being kind of overkill)? It's very tough to go out there 5 days a week.
Isn't doing some sort of cardio very important -- why did you drop HIIT completely?

5 days one exercise a day wasn't as hard for me as 3 days with 2 of the days also doing a 2nd exercise, but everyone's recovery is different. If you do do 2 exercises in one day, one being HITT you will most likely need a PWO shake of some sort to replenish glycogen stores.
Why is cardio important?
I will occasionally do sprints, or a short run (nothing over 2.5miles) if hte mood strikes, you know, maybe once or twice a month, otherwise, I don't really do cardio.
