    I have read that Kiefer recommends doing HIIT cardio before weight training however is there anything too terribly bad about doing it post weight training? I follow a 5 day split and would like to get in 3-4 HIIT sessions. Otherwise I would only do the HIIT on weekends (Sat & Sun). Will doing 25 minutes of HIIT cardio have a tremendous impact on muscle growth if done a couple of times per week?

    It can cause the “interference effect” which can at least partially negate muscle growth and strength gains.Pre workout or separated is recommend to avoid it.

    Also, to be honest I don't think you'll need more than two HIIT sessions a week if you're training 5x a week.

    Agreed.
