Question concerning Twin Peak's carb cycle

[devotchkas]

Would this be okay?

No Carb Day- hiit
Low-Back/biceps
High-Quads
Low-Shoulders
No-hiit
Low-Chest/Triceps
High-Hamstrings

I was mostly wondering if doing 3 low carb days a week is okay rather than doing no-low-high-no-low-high etc. because I want my no carb days to be on hiit days (one of those days might just turn into an off day) and I want my high carb days to be on leg day..so my low carb days would be when I train other body parts(which I train 3 x week as you can see)

Hey, welcome to IM.

The training routine that you listed looks like a good start -- I like seeing that you are working lower body twice a week. However, it's only a list of body parts. Can you please be more specific with what you are going to be doing each day? We would be looking for the actual exercises as well as the rep ranges.

What you suggested in regards to your carb cycle sounds fine -- do what's comfortable. Your goal (lose fat, maintain, gain muscle) will be dictated predominately by whether or not you are in, respectively, a caloric deficit, maintenance, or surplus. The rest are just little tinkerings that you can do to make it reasonably comfortable.
