@@hongyangwang312 everyone’s body is different. It’s not that hard to have both trainings at the same day with a 4+ hrs recovery window in between.

Anyways, whichever you prefer works. It’s better to have routine that is to your liking, be it weight lifting, body weight training or other means - more chances you’ll stick to it.
