Mixing your exercise modes: When opposites distract, John Hawley

Big confusion @1:38! That's not Oleksiy (who competed at the -105 kg category in London 2012). That's the iranian weigthlifter Anoushiravani, in the +105 kg category - super heavyweight.

Have there been follow up studies to measure CS and COX4 from concurrent training? Weightlifting generally doesn't increase VO2 max, and HIF1-alpha doesn't always predict changes in hematocrit (signaling molecules don't always reliably predict synthesis).

This is interesting as its contradictory to most other advice about combining resistance training and endurance training. Most videos etc you see, the advice is to do the resistance training first, so you are not tired from the endurance training, so able to train with heavier weight etc, so your resistance training session is a better quality session. I've always thought that the more logical way too. I know if I did a hard endurance session, I would not be able to perform as quality a resistance session afterwards, if I would with no endurance session before. So the physiological adaptations don't seem to follow that logic.

This is true if you are prioritising strength and muscle hypertrophy adaptations, which will be attenuated by endurance exercise performed immediately prior. If you are interested in endurance adaptations, performing strength training after endurance exercise is your best bet.
