[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1039002, member: 211504"] I was being silly with my two comments about overtraining and 10+ reps per set. Those aren't actual rules to follow (although I do personally). To me, "overtraining" means not allowing your body to properly recover between workouts. To that extent, I would agree that overtraining is a very bad idea as it can lead to injury. Again, that's the joy of having a routine that focuses on specific muscle groups on different days. If my legs are still sore, I may do an arms day. If my arms and legs are still sore, I may do a shoulders/upper back day. Basically, I don't have a set weekly routine where I do legs on Monday, arms on Tuesday etc. I have 6 basic routines and rotate between them based on how my body feels. I say this from experience, injuries are one of the most frustrating things to overcome. That's why it's important to push yourself, but you need to know your limits. Long story short, if HIIT is working for you, that's fantastic. Just don't try to do too much at once. Gradually allow yourself to build on your workouts and don't be afraid to give your body a rest when it's needed. [/QUOTE]
