Hi Everyone,
I've posted this question in another forum and thought I should post this here as well. Perhaps others besides myself can benefit from the answers provided.

I have read the following article (link is included below):
The Tabata Method
Fat Loss in Four Minutes
by Dan John

My question is....

When using weights while doing the Tabata method do you have to worry about overlap with your regular weight training? What I mean is if you are going to do "Thrusters" as described in the article on day 1, can you do conventional weight training for legs and shoulders the next day or do you wait until the muscle is recovered from on workout protocol before you excercise them using another excercise protocol?

Thank you.
