Top 3 Rules To Build Muscle While Running | THE HYBRID BUILD EP4

[@nberkel]

As a high mileage runner (90 mpw) who struggles to barely maintain let alone gain weight, mostly due to mental struggles, seeing these videos helps clear things up a bit and pushes me in the right direction.

[@SuprEmpth]

Omg 90 mpw!! 🫡🫡🫡 I bet you look amazing. Please Don’t be so hard on yourself.

The “mental struggles” really got to me in this comment, running has helped me overcome my anxiety/depression, I could barely run 5 minutes now I’m doing 5k everyday don stop, it’s more of a mental clarity rather than exercise. But beneficial in the end.

[@nberkel]

@@im4eyes That's awesome, and absolutely what running is all about! The mental struggles I was referring to involve body image and eating enough. Running still provides the escape and benefits it always has for me, I just have some other stuff tied in I need to work on...

[@dereknoto9969]

I'm 220 pounds with a wide frame at 5'11 and I have always put in the same amount of effort into cardio as I do lifting heavy.Running isn't easy for me but building a frame without an engine doesn't make sense to me.I have never felt that my cardio took away from gains.I feel much more explosive with my weight training and also able to take less breaks in between sets when I stay up on my cardio.

I don't personally believe Nick is natty, but that doesn't change how I feel about the guy. Good info, great motivation, and he's doing things 99% of people will never accomplish. Is he misleading a community by not (potentially) owning his natty status? Maybe. But I'm not here thinking if I work hard and use his supplements I'll look like a guy with A++ genetics AND it's his business to be in shape AND is on gear.

[@ViSuaL-X-ray]

Nick… I can attest to this 100%! I did this hybrid-style working out for 1 year while I was in the Navy; I went from a healthy 200lbs and jumped to 235lbs of lean muscle. I continue to go through cycles where I’m doing this, all depends on what training for… This is the path for full optimization!

[@AverageAngler512]

What was ur rate, I'm an MM right now in the reserves. I came off of active in 2019 and just recently joined again this summer

[@scottvasnik]

Nick is such an inspiration. I always avoid running because I’m worried it will hurt my gains. This a a great reminder that it’s more about doing things correctly than it is vilifying certain training modalities. Great video! 💪

[@zachs8765]

it did to me, but i was NOT eating at a surplus and I was running 35-40 a week for a marathon build. i was also eating mainly carbs.

[@grandrivercarp8320]

Agreed that a balanced approach is great and supports a healthy lifestyle….But Nick is roided to the gills. Normal folks can do this on a smaller scale.

[@Smogytho]

​@grandrivercarp8320 If he was raided to the gills, he would be way bigger than that. He just eats in a surplus and knows his body is. You don't need roid to be able to do this. Stop with the excuse and get to it. Stay hard

[@sebastian3004]

Are you making a living as a bodybuilder? you care about looking pretty in front of mirror more than being able to move your body? then don't do it.

[@TheTravesty2012]

​@@Smogytho bro you are ignorant as fuck if you think this guy is natty. His entire livelihood and business revolve around his body image. His lack of transparency is a joke. I'd pay $10k if I was wrong on his bloodwork panel. Roided to the gills. NO ultra/endurance athlete looks CLOSE to his build, wonder why?

[@nohypeneededfunctionalfitn7767]

FANTASTIC video Nick! Thanks so much for covering this in your series. People have a hard time understanding what it's like to maintain a decent amount of running on a well-muscled frame. It's even different than someone who weighs the same but has significantly more bodyfat. The energy demand of active muscle is just intense and constant. Currently, I'm training out of San Antonio and trying to prep for a 100k race (Bandera) in January. This is on the tail of 2 completed trail 50k races this year.....the most recent on a torn ATF ligament in my right ankle. I'm also 36, 5'10, 212 lbs, 10% bodyfat (per InBody) and entirely natty. The amount of lifting that I have to do isn't nearly as much as one would think, but it HAS to be deliberate and it HAS to be progressive....those are non-negotiables. Also, the mental strength aspect factors in HEAVILY (no pun intended), but that's where distance running shows its true colors. To date (at 36 years old), I haven't found ANYTHING better for strengthening my mind and mood, which is one of the main reasons I think many of us do it. In short, it IS possible to be jacked and have great endurance.....but like Nick said, you have to embrace the process. It ain't easy, but it's damn rewarding. Love and light to you all, and keep grinding. 💛 💪🏾 #GoOneMore Coach Erick Caldwell Master Trainer/Metabolic Coach US Air Force Veteran San Antonio, TX, USA 🇺🇸 IG: @LittRomney_209

[@thornburymatthew]

At age 49, after a long battle with drugs and alcohol, I'm just beginning running and weight training. I want big muscle, and I want to be an endurance runner. I have a lot of work to do. I quit smoking recently too. A LOT OF WORK TO DO. GO ONE MORE!!! I'M ALL IN!!!

[@thornburymatthew]

Thank you, Nick! You're awesome!

[@huntersmith1659]

Amazing video! These tips are super useful and educational. Question for you... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a muscle-building meal plan from them that's worked wonders for me.

[@tranquilitybase7860]

Loving this. I started also with the hybrid. I am 45 and feeling better.

[@harryv6752]

💯 🔥 🤘

[@scamer95]

Nick just wanna say I’m a huge fan and a huge motivation! With that being said I just wanna say that training volume isn’t the only means to achieve progressive overload. You can also achieve progressive overload through higher intensity and lower volume training. A great example is the way that Dorian Yates and mike menzer would train where they would work up to 1 all out top set and go beyond failure. Sometimes too much volume can hinder your progress especially if you’re not training until failure or at least 1-2 reps from failure.

[@Alexis-yj9op]

Agreed. Not everyone is use to this amount of volume and although it may work for nick, the average person won’t be able to recover from this if the goal is to hit the same muscle group twice a week. But if your goal is to hit a muscle group once a week, by all means

[@melaniealtenkirch5165]

The key to remember tho is that as a hybrid athlete he also has a lot of running to get to, therefore going to failure may not be the best. Volume suits hybrid athletes

[@Alexis-yj9op]

@@melaniealtenkirch5165 True. But also Volume can tax the central nervous system which leads to fatigue which leads to under recovering. The average person may watch this video and think this amount of volume is necessary to put on size, when it’s not. You can accomplish the same weight gain, muscle building, and endurance training with less volume, more intensity, all while keeping your endurance training the same. Meaning your CNS isn’t as taxed, you’ll recover faster and better, and feel more energized through out the day. Just my take. We’re all entitled to our own opinion so at the end of the day, if this style of training suits you, by all means.

[@commonkingslifts]

@@Alexis-yj9op That's fair, and for most people, probably is the most sound advice. However, if you go back into Nick's OLDER videos - 2014, 2015, 2016, almost all his training was higher volume. Many of his original self-written programs prior and during the Korea days were also high volume. I think he just prefers that style out of enjoyment, and it works for him. Everyone needs to run a few different styles of training and see both what they enjoy and what they receive the most growth from.

[@codylawson2656]

That only works if you are a beginner.

[@dawnnelson7876]

I might be the outlier but I'm so here for this! I'm a SAHM & I want to gain muscle while becoming a better runner. I've already gained 24lbs and am getting some nice muscles. I'm also training for a half marathon. Great content!

[@noone-ld7pt]

You're truly changing the game man. As an endurance athlete who's gotten into strength training pretty late I was always thought that I couldn't do both and that I had to leave behind my love for endurance events if I were to gain any significant amount of size and strength. You're living proof that this is not the case, and I've completely changed my approach to training based on your channel! Thank you so much!

found this video very interesting and learned something again. didnt realise that you need to increase training volume with lifting. the same way increasing kms/miles a week to work towards a goal. because of this man i trained 3 months beginning of this year to run my first ultra marathon which i did, its something that ive seen on youtube but never actually thought it was possible and next month im going to do another but this time the goal is a quicker time.

[@juandelval7931]

The thing is, that you gotta be more specific. A pound of FAT is 3500 calories, but to build a pound of MUSCLE it's only 2700. A lot of experts would sugest that a 500calorie surplus is too much for most people. If you want to minimize the ammount of fat you gain during a bulk, the surplus should he closer to just 200, and go for a little longer. Also it's best to eat 5 times a day to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

Great video as always! I’m headed in the other direction, I.e., aiming for fat loss, so I assume that I need to aim for 500 or so fewer calories per day. I do lift, although at the moment, increasing my strength is a lower personal priority than losing abdominal and overall fat. Thank you for the 500 calorie tip, though!
