This is just what I needed to hear. I’m the same hybrid style 4 runs (10or 18km) 3 boxing sessions🥊 4 full body workouts Each week

[@ho2673]

That’s a lot imo. I guess you have great diet and sleep.

[@koryarnold8333]

How do you feel from doing the 4 day full body? I been doing 3 days like the anabolic program and considered adding another day but these guys always seem to be opposed to adding another day in.

[@ho2673]

@@koryarnold8333 3 days is superior to 4 days because you rest more and muscle is build while resting

[@mmaslav6176]

I would burn out in 2 weeks lol.

[@CrazedCorgi]

This is what i have been doing. Protein after running, zone 1 running, run just a 1 mile once a week. Easy, simple and I am bulking now. I had to cut down my running and weight lifting.

[@ryandeffley7652]

As long as you're lifting regularly, getting enough protein, and consuming enough cals, cardio doesn't "kill your gains". If anything, having a higher vo2 max lets you lift with more intensity, recover faster between sets, and have better overall work capacity.

[@kingsnorkie]

Everything you said is what I experience when I'm lifting, on the days I don't lift I run 3 mils in 25mins, my recover is damn near instant between sets

[@andrewbellinger6120]

Running 40 miles a week I was trying to train for hypertrophy simultaneously. Eating 4000-4500 calories a day for 4 months my weight wouldnt budge above 150lbs. Cutting my runs in half from 10Ks to 5Ks I immediately noticed sleep improvement, started gaining weight and appetite reduced to a much more manageable (and affordable) level. Cortisol really is catabolic as hell.

[@musiclifter5424]

Doing a 22min 5k if that was at 275 is crazy impressive

[@isiah675]

Hybrid is the way to be baby. Lift, road races, ironmans, taste it all.

[@jodyjohnson1666]

I question the idea at 12:10. "Building muscle and strength -- slow to come, slow to go. Stamina and endurance - quick to come, quick to go." That is VERY wrong. A solid base of strength and muscle is the same as a solid stamina and endurance base -- slow to come, slow to go. Sharpening, to borrow a running term that also applies to lifting, is quick to come and quick to go. Runners "establish a base." They build a foundation of endurance. It's the bottom of the pyramid. Bodybuilders and powerlifters also "establish a base. It's a foundation that lasts. But when a runner plans a 5k, he begins sharpening 6 to 8 weeks out. A runner with a shallower base peaks for 3 to 4 weeks. the bodybuilder and the powerlifter do the EXACT SAME THING. If they compete twice per year (after establishing a 3-, 5-, 10 year base,) the go into a cutting phase (bodybuilders) or a peaking phase (powerlifters.) Powerlifters build a bade with 5's and 10's, but peak with triples, doubles, and singles. Base training is slow to develop and slow to decrease. Sharpening is quick to develop and quick to decrease. That's why fighters have a 6-week base camp before a fight. I don't know. I could be wrong.

[@Paul-yk7ds]

I'm no expert, but your explanation sounds accurate to me as far as cardio endurance. I had a phase when I got into running maybe ~5 years ago. Before that, I literally couldn't even jog for a minute without taking a break to walk. Then I worked up to running 5ks and some 10ks. Now for the last few years, I haven't been running anymore, I just do strength training and walking now. But whenever I do need to run again, I can go 10-20 minutes or more if needed, like the foundation I built has stuck.

Hi from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@jonpageable]

A couple of 30-40 minute zone 2 runs a week shouldnt cause much interference if it’s done on separate days to weight training or if same day ideally 6 hours apart

[@jfloyo11]

This guy is already running a sub 7 minute mile 5k.

I'm from Canada and I can say this is absolutely not true. Most people from where this guy is from probably couldn't even figure out how to use a computer enough to call in to a podcast, only the smart ones get out so that's what you guys see lol.

Eat more protein bro

Doing cardio is stupid af. Humans should be sprinting and doing other maximum effort activities

[@Paul-yk7ds]

Why? Would make sense to me that both are useful, functional

[@mmaslav6176]

Humans are made for long long distance running not sprinting. We cant outsprint most of the animals but we can outrun most of them. Thats how humans still hunt in african tribes. So cardio is not stupid af.

[@KevinSamuelsKid]

@@mmaslav6176 Yes it’s stupid af. People are jogging 5 miles a day daily. We weren’t just out there jogging animals down. It’s it much for feasible to think that we ran, jogged, sprinted, and probably for the most part WALKED during a hunt. It’s absolutely insane to think that we just ran 3 miles plus straight without stopping, all the time, every single day that we hunted. You ever try catching a deer by just jogging all day? I suggest you give it a shot and test your theory out, because a lot of you think that humans, who are known for being generalist, did 1 style of running when hunting. So yea it’s stupid af, and people are now jogging chronically and destroying their heart. They also combine that with being “vegan” even though they know humans were hunters and ate meat??? You all listen to the same stupid shit instead of following instincts. Do what your want, idc to be quite honest
