Great to see such an extensive log. Congrats on your training and results.
Are you still doing those Hill sprints somewhere?

As you might have noticed from my own thread I'm still looking where and how to fit in conditioning work with the aim to help in both size and conditionning. Sprints are my preference, but they need to be carefully adjusted towards recovery. How have you gone about this?

Currently I'm doing HIIT, but will try SMIT as well. Basically, sprint all out without active recovery and longer rest. Plan to do this before 15's as this is a recovery workout in a sense. Would think of lighter swimming on saturdays after 10's which would leave me to:

mo: 5's
tue: SMIT
wed: 15's
thu: rest
fri: 10's
sat: swim, semi-sprint
sun: rest

How do you think about that if goals are size and conditioning and you're in a mass phase?
 
No longer doing hill sprints, slight pulls on my hamstring a couple of times (probably not warming up properly) and it also impacted on trying to train twice a day - no room for both for a 50 year old!!!!! Have done no cardio at all other than walking if I overindulge at family events etc, I found that training the full body over two sessions a day is more than enough for me to lose circa 1 lb or so a week providing my nett calorie intake was around my body weight x 13, on previous cuts I did far too much cardio and more restrictive calorie intakes than this cut and that led to greater losses of lean body mass than this time - this cut I have increased strength throughout and still getting gains at circa 10% body fat.

Not sure what SMIT is but if your goals are size and conditioning then I feel that you need to ensure that eat back your calories burned through cardio exercise otherwise success in conditioning will be at the expense of increases in muscle mass, particularly if you are doing a slow bulk as you have suggested in another thread (Guide to lean bulking), other than that your schedule seems doable as you are having two rest days.

Just getting caught up, Mick. I saw your comment about weight loss 3 posts back; are you really hitting about 1 pound of weight (hopefully fat) loss per week with your two a day split?
 
@_tim

Yes, for 8 weeks I consumed circa body weight x 13 (averaged between 2272 and 2359 kcal per day) and my average weight loss was 1.41 lb per week (ranged between 1.0 and 2.0 lbs) and according to my recent BodPod test I increased my lean body mass. I was originally trying a slower weight loss at body weight x 16 and that resulted in average weight loss of 0.5 lbs over 7 weeks, still training twice a day but not all eight exercises on one day (2 sets of 4 exercises per day)

SMIT= SupraMaximal Interval Training
Intensity is higher compared to HIIT
Sprint bouts are shorter along the lines of 15 to 20 seconds
Rest is passive and longer between 2 to 5 minutes

According to the research, SMIT is better than HIIT is better than LISS
