Haha Its cool man.
HIIT after lifting really does equal massive fat loss and it is a better method of training to preserve your muscle.
THAT BEING SAID...
Because it is so aggressive make sure you got your calories right and on point. If you start losing to fast up your intake a bit and protect that muscle.

do those numbers look good for the intensity? and how often should it be preformed? keep in mind im not trying to lose significant amounts---maybe another pound or 2, just to decrease bf by 1%.
EDIT: this is why I'm hesitant to switch to post-lifting cardio, what I mentioned before about glycogen not being fully used:
In reality, even the toughest weight workout won't deplete your glycogen by more than 70%--and that's only in the muscles you worked. While it's true that you should do cardio after weights, the reason is because cardio is fatiguing. Do it before weights and you'll be too rundown--literally--to lift as heavy as you should for maximum gains.
