446 Wilks. Nice. That's no joke. 450+ qualifies for the Arnold.
I would just rest.
Have any videos of you competing?
I suggest training the main lifts 2-3x/wk and conditioning 2-3x/wk. I like HIIT still, but there are more components to conditioning development than just HIIT. We always are learning.

You've asked me this twice now, why the suspicion? #TeamRTS Lifter Tayan Patel @hyperfluxe... - Reactive Training Systems | Facebook
I forgot how brutal HIIT is with your protocol. I barely did 2 sessions this week. What are you thoughts on moderate intensity cardio (~170 bpm)? What I thought I was doing as LISS was actually 170bpm sustained for around 15-20 mins, my muscles burn and I sweat a lot - it feels like a real stimulus unlike LISS (140 bpm). I think I'll go with your recommendations for frequency on lifting + conditioning, it's a happy medium.
Agreed
Mostly because I find the resistance to actually train frustrating to deal with.
Moderate intensity cardio wouldn't be 170bpm really. It's a bit too high (if accurate) to be a good aerobic training stimulus for someone without an extensive aerobic base already.I forgot how brutal HIIT is with your protocol.

Moderate intensity cardio and I don't think it's useful outside of event specific training.
Alright, it looks like I have a happy medium with 3x lifting and 2x week HIIT. Is it fine to do HIIT on a stationary bike if both the c2 rower and assault bike are taken?
Just for the record, I think YMMV highly here. My HRs have come down from what they were 10-15 years ago, but I still clock an average of 178-180 on a half-marathon, and that is for more than a 100 minutes, so I'd say, there are plenty of people for whom the baseline working HRs are so high that 170 is indeed moderate. At least for me (and I'm 41) it is way below the anaerobic threshold.
