HIIT while Bulking

[Gareth83]

well weight training 3 times a week, with two HIIT sessions is probably too much.

If you were doing a Push/Pull/Legs split then obviously keep the HIIT away from the legs day.

Or make your split into an 8 day split.

then go and read this one:

and tell me you can't see the reasoning behind it.

cheers, ill have a good read through them.

personally, i think if bodybuilding and on a bulk, you shouldnt train (with any degree of intensity) two days in consession to maximise gains, regardless of the split type.
