I got the feeling from the NRoL book that the ideal was to hit HIIT right after the lifting. Tried it today. No go. An hour later, though, I was able to go through about half a martial arts workout (the first half was me teaching, which in this case was low effort).
Was hoping to combine lifting and HIIT the same day, but thus far my experience is similar to Stogey: if I've lifted with proper intensity, I more or less stagger out of the gym.
Perhaps if I shift to a T-Th schedule I can do the lifting, go home, and then hit intervals later or something. Or maybe just on the off days.
Any thoughts? Will HIIT on non-lift days be counterproductive?
