Depending on what your cardio looks like, it may actually help you recover.
If it is low intensity, I mean like taking a walk for 40 minutes and working up a little sweat, then it will help you recover.
High-intensity cardio will be like training in some ways though.

Yeah, I like high intensity cardio. It's all about running as fast as I can for as long as I can.
I think I'm just going to risk it and keep up my cardio the way it is. I just hesitate before running with sore thighs though.
figgs, I saw a pic of you on the forearm thread over on the G&O board. I was pretty damn impressed, good job. I like you're program overall. I was wondering what your mindset is going into a set and what you do to stay focused during the set.
That's a very good question.
You have to gain a specific attitude while training with HIT. You have to be assured that every workout is better than the last. That you can't give any less than 100% effort. And that you
will reach your personal goals.
I imagine myself going into battle and waging war with the weights. If I give up short of failure, the weights win the fight. I consider myself Napoleon of the gym. So I'm doing pretty good.

Keep up the good work Figgs. I'm on my 3rd week of this high intensity stuff and I'm loving it. I feel thicker, stronger, and look fuller as much as a day after the workouts. I'm only doing it for another three weeks before going back to my regular routine to see if it made much of a difference. Your thread has helped alot with training decisions and ideas. Keep them coming.
That's great! I'm glad my log came to be a useful tool for you!

I'm going back to my normal routine in 4-5 months. I really want to learn as much as I can about HIT before I do
