Looking for some help.

HIIT can be applied to any cardio device. Also it can be applied to jump rope . No one ever said it has to be a treadmill or sprints.

Thanks for the replies!!!!!

I am going to do a lighter cardio routine, yet more time than I am used to.

I usually do the elliptical on level 12-13 for about 20-25 minutes......

I'll drop the level to 10 and go 30-35 minutes.........

As you guys' have read my joints can start to hurt pretty badly, so the lower levels, even though for longer should be easier on them......

I would like some old-school, basic wieghtlifting "101" ideas from you two.

More precisely, when bulking, of course you wish to increase your weight over a period of time....right?

How do you do this?

I read once that if I am doing one particular muscle group....say chest and if I was doing Flat, decline, incline, and flys, with doing flat first, I would do 2 warmup sets first on flat........then go straight to my Max weight, then each proceeding set, I would drop the weight by no more than 20% per set.

Then, going to decline, since I had already warmed up, I would go to my max and once again lower the weight no more than 20% for each proceeding set, then repeat this with incline and flys as well.......

What do you guys think abou this idea?

And, what do you do?????
