    Man this forum has a lot of feedback! I do have another question....

    Is there a specific reason why HIIT and LISS are encouraged as opposed to just LISS or HITT? I have read some studies that show they are pretty equal in terms of cardiovascular health. Does BBM just include both to keep things different?

    Like in my OP, I definitely prefer doing the LISS for weather reasons and the bike just not doing it for me on HIIT without cranking up the resistance, and the LISS seems to carry over more into my lifts and even into my sprints when I can do them (weird how not sprinting can make me better at sprinting?)

    Also, if you are doing shorter rests on lifts, like say squats and HR increases to 150-160 and then it slows down during your break, is this not like HIIT in a way? 1 minute lifting, 2-3 minute break. Looking forward to seeing more content on the minimums.

      I think there are unique adaptations to both modes, which help the overall physical development of the individual.

      RT is very anaerobic, but due to the duration, motor unit recruitment strategies, and resultant energy system predominance- they generate different adaptations as well.
