    Has anyone heard Jim Stopannis thoughts on cardio? He proposes to do cardio in between sets (jog in place, jumping jacks whatever pretty much) and it does blend together to make the weight session  more like hiit. How would this work with CBL would it interfere with any of the processes that make CBL work, since normally hiit before is recommended. Just not sure how cardio during weights would affect anything.thanks.

    If you can do that then you're not putting enough intensity into your lifts. I would keep HIIT separate

    Makes enough sense, i havent done it recently but i did a while back, and i sweat tons.Also would doing 5/3/1 with shockwave (in place of assistance) too much of a workload. Im trying to up my strength right now would the shockwave interfere with that by putting too much of a work load?

    MAJOR +1That actually isn't a bad idea for "fitness" types, but if you want to be big or strong, leave the conditioning on the track.

    Actually that is an excellent idea.  Remember part of shockwave is adjusting the work based on how you feel, so combined with 5/3/1 it will work nicely.

    alright thanks, yea im used to higher volume and am getting great result using 5/3/1 i mean like super incredible, would i get hypertrophy benefits as well as strength? or would it just be adding on to the strngth phase, i ask because my goal is to have a back like yours 😛

    Shockwave is ok for hypertrophy, but I personally get better results programming my assistance work myself.  How long have you been training?

    yea well i use most of the shockwave moves, but ill mix in some of my own stuff (drop sets, super sets, ect) but training about 2-3 yearsstrength training maybe about 2 possible less like 1.5 yrs but i feel my strength has stalled which is why im doing 5/3/1i was primarily trying to lose weight originally (down to 175 from 260)

    At this point you probably know what works better for yourself.  I would just do assistance exercises as you see fit.  You can add stuff like drop sets and rest/pauses, but remember, there reaches a point where the more effort you put into the assistance work, the less effort you put into gaining strength on the main movements.
