HIIT with Waterbury?

Post by madmaxx »

Can I do HIIT for cardio days while being on the Waterbury program?

So this is 2nd month on Waterbury but I'm wondering if it's OK to do HIIT on cardio days instead of the suggest 20 min jog.

Cardio is tues, thurs, sat
Weights are mon, wed, fri

I eat 5-6 x a day and get plenty of rest. Will body recover for weight sessions the next day? Or is this too much. I also noticed that I kinda got a little big, not weight wise but appearance wise. chest is crazy big because of this program. I want to lose love handles! Should I keep going or do am I on the wrong track?

i am trying to lose weight while gaining muscle.

I only know one waterbury method and that's this one:

Don't get me wrong, I like this appearance thing. I feel stronger and on the plus side I see some definition already :) . But maybe I can optimize workout better to lose the fat?

its 20 mins ez cardio the next day for a reason. you might burn yourself out, and id figure youre burning enough calories on weight lifting days but you can try.

well it is a muscle building workout if eating right as the volume is quite high-ish...pop 1 hiit session in and keep the other as normal...the muscle wyou're building now will burn later
