In the offseason, when cutting? Both?
What types have you found work best, or cut into recovery too much? How much total per week?
For me I do it year round as I don't really bulk or cut. I do LISS too so only 24 minutes per week. 3 x a week full body workouts so I do mine after training.
Monday
Box Jumps, Kettle bell swings, etc stuff like that for 40 seconds, then 20 seconds walking (8 total minutes)
Wed
Stepmill (20 seconds all out, 40 at a moderate pace)
Fri
Same as above but on the spin bike where I turn the resistance up for 20 seconds then do moderate for 40
The main thing I see I don't agree with is people doin like 1 minute all out, 1 minute slower. I don't feel like that is actually HIIT as you cant do 1 minute all out maximum effort. I used to do sprints up a hill or sprint and walk back but it's just more convenient and time Saving to just do it at the gym following training.
