I hate to be one of those “rate my routine” guys but oh well no one knows me on here!
Hows does this look. I know it looks like a lot but I am layed off so I have more than enough recovery time.
Sunday- 20 mins HIIT
Monday - Squat
Tuesday- Bench
Wednesday - 1 hour rowing
Thursday- Deadlift
Friday - Military Press 20 mins HIIT.
Or would I be better off simply lifting for 30 mins and 15-20 mins hill sprints 4 days a week?
What would you change? (I am guessing everything)
You have no recovery days!
I’d do as Jim Wendler suggests and perform your hardest metabolic/conditioning/cardio workouts after your squat and deadlift days and use your lower-intensity cardio after your upper body days.
Then, you could keep one additional day for longer duration moderate-to-low-intensity cardio and have two complete days off.
Thats what I thought, just wanted to see how dumb it looked written out.
Thanks
It’s a function of diet. Even if you just did 5/3/1 with a caloric deficit you’d get cut.
