About Tabata and other high intensity energy system training:
Charles Staley says (
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/staley11.htm):
“you won't lose muscle or strength”
ANY form of "contrasting" stress promotes a faster recovery from your primary training “activity”
Christian Thibaudeau says (
http://www.t-nation.com/findArticle.do?article=251run2):
“to gain as much muscle mass as possible without getting too fat.”
The EAS system (Body for life) includes 2 days of HIIT. Unless they are lying, the have good results.
I know what the experts say. I want to know
what people who tried it have to say.</div>
for losing fat and retaining muscle it is good,but you are on a bulk so you wont get the fat loss benefits.
but you will get other benefits fitness levels,heart,lungs,blood flow to the muscles etc,another benefit is food partitioning i have read that the fitter you are the better your body is at this.
personaly i am leaning towards ss-cardio at a higher intensity arounabout 80% ,and HIIT on different days "non weight days".
the ss-cardio at a higher intensity will use up a lot of cals during the session and EPOC after so both aspects are covered or you could do tabbata 4mins after that to uttilise EPOC even more,but i am not on a bulk.
