Does HIIT interfere with my gains? Does it have the same problem

>>42848050
If you're referring to gaining mass, it will if you do not increase your caloric intake. Try and estimate how many calories you will burn during your cardio, and then eat extra according to that.

thank bro

hiit will fuck your recovery

>>42848050
it can be a negative if there is too large an eccentric component to it.
HIIT rowing and cycling is great (concentric)
HIIT sprints and KB swings can interfere with programming by not allowing sufficient recovery.

Properly done Hiit is a workout that is far more stressful on your body then basic strength training for someone of your obvious level.

Your recovery capacity will be wrecked and you'll hit the wall and completely bonk soon.

Properly done HIIT Is a short term thing to get you up to a certain level or maintain in terms of anaerobic and aerobic capacity, it's really not something that a natural can do consistently like 3-7 times a week.

It's a full body taxing workout in and of itself and not simply a little addition you tack on later.

If you're trying to build as much mass and strength as possible quickly then you can do them, but only twice a week and they should be seen as a workout in and of themselves.

When you feel yourself getting burned out switch to something like walking, jogging, swimming to give your body time to rest up from the stress.

I've done hiit once, 40 sprints of 40 yards. Fucked up my legs for a week. I'm also on a cut so that was probably a bad idea in terms of recovery.

Is running/cardio bad for gains and retaining muscle on a cut?

All the people that run marathons and shit are gross skinny faggots.

Not if you eat enough.

>All the people that run marathons and shit are gross skinny faggots.

Don't train to run 42km competitively then, faggot. 5km 3 times a week is plenty for heart/lung health.

who is this semen demon?

>>42849509
mostly this

I do sprints 1-2x/wk, 10x50m

No as long as you keep it reasonable and eat enough.
But cardio/running exercise that most people do burns shit for calories so there'll be no problems.

To tell you the truth, people vastly overestimating how many calories they burn during exercise and vastly underestimating how much rest and recovery they need is THE BIGGEST PROBLEM when it comes to exercise.

So 500 deficit won't damage me?

I've done some intense jumping jacks and jumping around for 20-30 mins and my legs were sore as fuck after that, and still are after 2 days with 8+ hours of sleep.

I feel like my recovery is in the trash on a cut.
