[@tidefanyankee2428]

If weight loss or cutting fat is your goal then lift first to exhaust (as much as you can) the glycogen in your muscles and liver. After that, you're burning fat. If you can do that in a fasted state, you'll burn even more fat.

[@RavusNox-z5i]

7K per run is not a lot of running though. He is smart, he is doing the kind of distance that wouldn't impact his muscle. I run 15K, basically double what he does for a single run, and it burns lots of calories and muscle to an extent. Like he said in other video, it's about balancing what you prioritize. There is no magic. You can't be a serious runner and be jacked. You can be a moderate runner however.

[@aaron_johal39]

@@RavusNox-z5i people who run 20 miles a day are burning so many calories putting them deep into a caloric deficit, that and the fact most distant runners purposely remain small so they can be better runners and they prob dont follow a proper weight lifting split. Running burning muscle is a myth if you are running 3-4 miles a day and a steady pace as long as you are willing to continue with your weight lifting split and make sure you are eating a sufficient amount of calories. Most big guys say running loses muscle due to the fact big guys hate doing cardio and most of them are too heavy or unfit to run a mile. Carrying 250 lbs and trying to run is extremely tough heck even 200 lbs. Mike tyson would run 3 miles everyday and he weighed 220 lbs at 5'10

[@RavusNox-z5i]

@@aaron_johal39 Trust me buddy, I know all this, having gone from 95kg bodybuilder 10 years ago to 75kg runner today :) As a runner, I am basically always hungry because I burn so many calories and can basically stuff my face with anything and I am still shredded like a concentration camp inmate lol. The thing about running is once you go over 10K you keep running more and it's addictive. I remember as a bodybuilder I was sluggish and running felt like hell. My entire body was hurting because running with lots of muscles puts huge strain on your bones/frame/etc. I felt like shit. Hence why I imagine most lifters hater running. What I'm TRYING to do is re-introduce some lifting into my running so I don't look so ectomorphic. But it's really really really not easy to add slabs of muscle and be bodybuilding aesthetic whilst being a runner. I'm feeling like adding two weightlifting sessions with the big 3 but I feel I might be wasting time.

Have you ever heard of construction workers, dockers, road workers and farmers? These guys do 8-12 hours of "met-con" work every fcking day with one lunch break. With all due respect, running for an hour and lifting for an hour, is not really the same thing as loading cement bags for 10 hours straight :) I respect all athletes, but people tend to forget that half the worlds population still work manually for generations on end. You just have to try to pave a few roads in a summer sun for a few 8 hour shifts and then you tell me, how hard is it to just run in comfy shoes, or lift some shiny dumbbells in an air conditioned gym with hot babes bending over exercises machines :D

I used to only run when I was in High School and 1st year of college collegiately (XC and Track) and I was like 150-155 lb but I was running like 70 - 80 miles a week and was a pretty competitive runner. Then I started lifting weights and running like 20 - 30 miles a week but it was a super fast track workouts (400m repeats type stuff) and I was like 180-185 lbs. Then I stopped running completely and just feel in love with getting as big as possible. I got up to 200 lbs and still could see my 6 pack. Then I started bulking and it was a dirty one lol and got up to 230lb. I'm down to 220 lbs now and have started running since quarantine and plan to get back to that 180 -185 lb sweet spot (still strong but still fast at the same time). Super impressed with Nicks 4:53 mile at 194 lbs, I ran a 4:32 in high school but I was 150 pounds so to see a big guy run that fast is really something cool.

[@taylormerrell2982]

Hey if u don't mind what are your meals like? I'm a xc runner as well and want to build muscle but still run and it feels like when I do both I don't Excel at either due to what I'm eating. So could u tell me what ur meals are? Btw I'm naturally very thin at around 135-140 but currently I'm pretty strong at around 157-160. Ive been stuck at the 160 mark forever and wanna be around 175 to 180. Tbh I would go in the "hardgainer" category. Thanks!

[@Texas.Shave96]

I agree

[@TheDarkWolfHunter]

@@taylormerrell2982 Well when I got up to 180 - 185 range I was eating really big breakfasts (5-6 eggs with 3-4 pieces of toast) or ( a large bowl of oatmeal with several scoops of peanut butter) then I wouldn't eat till the evening and then I would have another relatively large meal that was a little smaller then my breakfast mainly of chicken or steak and rice or pasta. That seemed to work well for me, and of course I was drinking protein shakes after I would workout. When I got up to 200 lbs I started eating 3 times a day and I guess that paired with not running anymore and solely focusing of lifts led to an increase in weight, but I wasn't eating anything special same things as before only difference was now for lunch I was eating 2 sandwiches or burritos. When I got to 230 I decided to just say screw it and ate really unclean fast-food 2-3 times a week to really gain the most mass possible (I wouldn't recommend that much haha), plus I switched to a more power lifting type workout schedule mainly of deadlifts and squats to help with the mass. Thats what worked for me, and this is probably obvious but if I where you I would maybe slowly reduce your cardio and the number of calories you exert and start gradually increasing how much your eating every week till you hit that sweet spot. Since your probably pretty lean at your current weight it wouldn't even be that bad to eat some unhealthy food once a week (as long as you're really lifting hard) and see how much you gain week by week. Once you hit your number cut the junk food and see if you can't maintain that weigh via protein shakes and larger healthier meals. But that's just my opinion and I am by no means an expert, I just know that my body responds to that pretty well. Best of luck!

Yes. Several studies have shown squatting improves running economy for endurance runners. However, the accumulation of fatigue will be very high with lots of squats. A track athlete would probably squat just 1 x per week especially as they might have several days of double running training.

[@AP-eq7sh]

First question is what are you goals with your weight training. Are you lifting weights to gain muscle or to gain strength. Building muscle requires generally speaking a caloric surplus and protein. You need to work out what you burn on your runs and put those calories back in before the end of the day. I suggest running in the morning and weight training in the evening. As long as your eating a caloric surplus and the necessary protein you should be able to build muscle regardless of your running, in your upper body at least. The issue is building leg size while you run. Your legs need time to recover in order to grow. 1-3 days of rest depending on how hard you worked then in the gym. Moderate cardio shouldn’t harm your growth but intense cardio for long periods of time doesn’t allow the muscles to repair and grow effectively. Here’s what I suggest when you train legs don’t train them too heavy but hard enough to stimulate growth, then take the next day to perform a easy light run of no longer than 45 mins. This shouldn’t harm your leg development and some study’s suggest it could actually help. The following day you should be able to run at high intensity again. Take as many rest days as you need and adjust the intensity of your workouts as you need. Make sure the legs are getting enough time to recover and that you are putting the calories you burn back into your body. You may feel more fatigued on workouts when training twice a day. This is were diet and supplements can help. Everyone’s body is different there is no exact blue print try things out and see what works best for you. It’s clear that this man has found what works for him. With trial and error make your own program that fits around you and meets your specific needs and goals

It’s where you run under your lactate treshold, which is, as per one definition, ”the maximal speed or effort that an athlete can maintain for an extended period and still have little or no increase in lactate. This extended period of time can be as much as an hour or possibly longer.” (www.lactate.com/lactate_threshold.html) If you can’t yet run for an extended period, then slow down to power walking or brisk walking, and that is your easy ”run” pace, the distance is correspondingly shorter.

[@VentiFriedChicken]

This video was crazy helpful! I felt guilty for lifting less but realized it’s only because my priority is running because of a upcoming race!

[@christineseldon3979]

Arnold's book the education of the bodybuilder, he explains the importance of running, if I remember that far back.

[@zacharycadman8226]

I'm just glad to see people that prioritize running and lifting. I always hear that you have to pick one or the other because both cancel each other out. It's not true

Even if your an expert in fitness it’s always good to pursue “continued education.” Good video

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

"BW" = Calisthenics. The training regimen seems logical. Run first, weights second. Simultaneously do both on same day, Each day different set of muscles, Have a day off for one or the other and have them spread apart. I'm suprised tho there's no running form emphasis. That will drastically effect a weight lifters running performance

I always run first then pump. My body feels warm and loose when it’s time for me to lift. Good video!

Thanks for your service. I am weight training with barbell: squat, bench, press, deadlifts and pull ups using starting strength method. Currently 71 and thanks to you will add jogging to my schedule ; 2x per week plus 3x weight training. This will make my weight training more difficult resulting in less progress, as well as jogging. Do you experience this with doing both?

I've been doing a PPL split 6 days a week and running 4 days a week and have seen massive gains in both areas. I hate when people say you can't do both. I stick to one long run per week around 15K or 10 miles and do 4-6 miles the other 3 days.

So you do nothing for legs? Are the leg muscles melting away or do they stay decent by just running and high protein intake?

[@gokublack5620]

The thing about training legs when your also training running is that if you train your legs then you ruin your run and vice versa. And plus running helps maintain it

[@orlvndo]

Running helps build leg strength, may not be as effective as weight training but it does make your legs stronger

[@김성은-n7y]

I think, Mass and Running performance can not coexist at some point.

[@polithans]

weightlifting running are the two far ends of the spectrum- you can choose strong, but you cannot choose massive & fast over a long distance. I personally would recommend calisthenics/ medium weight high rep iron work to keep the legs strong and balanced. work isometrically and focus on hip stability/ glute work (gluteus medius especially, since it's job is to keep your hip stable during the running).

[@rootsofold]

@@gokublack5620 I know man, its crazy hard to balance them both and try to get bigger and stronger legs while still wanting to run.. I've been at it for some years now and honestly it's just standing still. If anything I'm losing strength and running slower lol.

[@Khonic23]

Just my .02 but I’ve been powerbuilding for about 6 years now, and just joined the marine corps so my training has been changed considerably. Less focus on 1rm and pump more focus on endurance and HIIT. But to maintain my muscle and strength I still try and lift heavy weight. Usually the running won’t affect your bodybuilding or general weight training SO LONG as you’re eating enough (a shit load for me personally because I have a fast metabolism) and getting enough rest. I need minimum 8 hours but 9-10 is what I prefer. Remember you grow and recover 90% while sleeping. But of course im only running 3 miles currently, the more you run the more focus you’ll need on upping calories, stretching, and rest.

[@THEOfficialJR]

What’s the diet look like, because it helps us understand what’s fueling your physique and training sessions!!??

[@christophrichter2612]

Actually, it's not *that* important to know. Diets are all similar. Try to focus on what YOU like to eat. There are simple thumb rules for a healthy diet that everyone can adjust to: 25-30% Protein max. 30% Fat (mainly vegetable fats/more unsaturated) 45-50% Carbs Fats are needed for digesting vitamins, health of our cells and producing hormons etc., so don't let the word "fat" discourage you... And btw., the legendary Internet Fitness Pro Meal *rice + chicken* is not a must. If you try to puzzle stuff together that you like, it's far more enjoyable...

[@jos25582]

being aware of your body and how youre recovering is key. I always hear about people creating these strict regiments that they have to follow. I most only plan time windows and plan based on my goals. Ex: for back day I dont awlays have to do deadlifts. Maybe give your legs a break and do back extensions and or barbell rows because you already had a legday the day before, and theyre still recovering. Minor Adjustments. Great video
