Does this HIIT even work as well as he makes it out to? Like seriously if im exhausted after 15-20 minutes I can't continue to burn calories right? Should I be changing my workouts to be more endurance based if i'm going for aesthetics?
5x12-15 instead of 3x5.
I basically just got wrecked by some army guy...

5x10 or 5x8, load shitton of weight bro.

Why are old people such retards in the gym? Is it because their bodies are going to shit so they are jealous of people around them? The guy could easily have snapped our shit up.

The point is to shame you into getting the membership, retard. Never do a personal trainer.
Gym horror story though...

>my form is garbage compared to these dudes
>watch different people looking for justification
>"No.. NO! NOOOOOOOOO!"
>Turns out my squat is shit, I haven't engaged anything at all
>Oh god I have to start all over
Long story short, my squat is still shit and I have no idea how to ass to grass while keeping balance and keeping my back straight. I tend to fold forward a bit.

Tell them "relax I know how to bail if I need to"
>>37338825
Stay focused on 1 point, put out your chest a bit, bring your ass backwards and you'll eventually go lower thanks to that.
>>37339371
Don't bring your ass backwards. If you're trying to squat deep, the only real option is to front squat or squat high-bar. Which in either case you try to keep your hips as close to your heels as possible instead of pushing them back.

HIIT can be a worthwhile way to improve your condition and even to lose fat (though diet will generally always be better for that). But HIIT sessions usually last for 30 minutes at most, and that's with the breaks, not 45-50.
I like to do a kind of HIIT circuit in the mornings on my off days from lifting weights.
