Craig,
Im currently doing my workout followed by intervals afterwards. I read an article on T-Nation by Christian Thibaudeau "Lifting for Fat Loss-10 Take Home Points", and he states the following:
If you’re trying to lose fat, chances are that you’ll be performing some form of energy systems work (ESW) or "cardio." Simply put, when you're dieting down you should try to avoid doing both ESW and strength training on the same day (except for a ten minute, slow pace warm-up before your strength session if needed).
Remember that your body has a lowered adaptive capacity when on a fat loss diet, so doing too much physical work will lead to some muscle loss.
With this said, I informed him I could only do cardio after my workouts on Mon, wed, and fri..(because fo school), he advised me to do mainly steady "less" intesity cardio if Im doing it on the same as my lifting, which if Im correct would contradict what most say, and your beliefs on HIIT after the workout,,,what is your take on this? Is he saying that doing lifting and Hiit on the same day is too much, or do you still believe it (HIIT) is still the best technique even after lifting vs steady cardio.
