Please help! involving HIIT With 4 day 1 off routine

Hey guys, First hello to everyone! This is my first post here after hearing such good things about this forum.

Little about me..
weight: 82 Kg
Height: 189 Cm
Body fat: 13-14%
Goal: Decrease body fat to 8% till July

My Weights Routine: 4 day on, 1 day off.

Day 1 (A workout) - Chest, Biceps
Day 2(B workout) - Back , Abs
Day 3 (C workout) - Legs, Calves
Day 4 (D Workout) - Shoulders, Triceps
Day 5 Rest and repeat cycle.
Day 6 (A workout) - Chest, Biceps +HIIT
Day 7 (B workout) - Back , Abs


Due to my intense split routine(i keep that intense while cutting cuz results on my self proven me that i can gain nice muscle while losing bodyfat as well) I changed all my long (65% bpm) cardio into 25-30 minutes intense HIIT workouts.
The problem is that when i apply those HIIT into my week routine, i get the some pretty heavy stress on my legs I'm afraid of injury.

Day 1 (A workout) - Chest, Biceps +HIIT
Day 2(B workout) - Back , Abs +HIIT
Day 3 (C workout) - Legs, Calves
Day 4 (D Workout) - Shoulders, Triceps
Day 5 Rest and repeat cycle.
Day 6 (A workout) - Chest, Biceps +HIIT
Day 7(B workout) - Back , Abs+HIIT

Please feel free to advice me on this plan,
-Is 4 times HIIT is too intense for my legs(plus a hard leg workout)?
-Should I replace some of my HIIT with normal cardio?
-Should i stay only with HIIT but do it less?

*Please keep in mind that im using the
3 day low carb, low calorie** - 1 day high carb , high calorie diet
**low calorie= a 700 calorie reduction from maintenance diet(high day)

I really appreciate all the help i could get,
God bless,
Dor.

Hi

I am similat to you and doing 5 days on and 1 day off..

Day 1 - 30 mins Hiit Cardio and then Chest with High and Low Resisitance
Day 2 - Same as Above but Legs
Day 3 - Same as Above but Shoulders
Day 4 - Same as Above but Back
Day 5 - Same as Above but Arms

I chose to switch 2 weeks ago as my progress had stopped and although more intense I find it more enjoyable. I plan to do 4 weeks on mixed with a high protein diet as I am cutting at the moment and then 2 weeks building. As long as you look after yourself and eat alot of protein and listen to your body you will be fine.

Good Luck!!!
