The problem with hybrid training

[@izzyviveros2365]

GURL.... I will tell you EXACTLY at minute 4:00 you said something that I had never heard of before and THANK YOU! I now understand why my nody won't look like body builders. They train for aesthetics. It was the video of the girl you showed in the weightlifting competition, how powerlifters look like regular people becuase they train for strength not looks. Idk why it took me this long to learn thins but im sooooo glad that I did! Thank you for teaching me! I need to hear this at the ripe age of 26 🥳

aaaah no worries at all! it helps to recognise it doesnt it!

[@NathanRiediger]

As someone who has hopped on the hybrid training wave myself I think you were spot on with this!

[@sportybeth]

Thanks! ❤️

[@Brimfulofbeauty]

They’re all on peds anyway so I don’t compare myself to any of them. It’s become ridiculous now.

[@shawnshawn8888]

You all use peds anyway. They are the successful cases, comparing yourself is just ridiculous hilarious😅

[@sportybeth]

That’s good!

[@DicksonMaimouth]

People overlook all of the gear these influencers are on.

[@sportybeth]

Another good point!

[@sofiamarinmolina9063]

I completely agree with you! I’m ex gymnastics then I was doing circus shows as side hustle. My training was very intense but not aesthetics. I currently train for iron man full distance after 20 years of training but I don’t look with huge legs or glutes😅 . I do eat well and “look toned” but none of my training it’s for a look. Just skills

[@Lulu-lt7ft]

Haha you don't have to tell me twice. I've been working with a PT for 2 years and I'm bigger than before 😂 I have accepted me going to the gym is about habit, joint and bone health, mental health, aging with strength and building community. It used to be for appearance until I accepted I will eat until I'm full and that's that. 😅

[@sportybeth]

Yeeees 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@EmilyPlatt-d6t]

Same. My weight has yo-yoed over the years when I was focused on how I looked. Now that I’ve focused on being nourished, and measurable goals that aren’t focused on weight I’ve been much happier and my weight has stayed consistent. I’m not my thinest I’ve ever been, which was unhealthily so tbh, but I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been.

[@readyfuels17]

Pretty spot on.

[@sportybeth]

Thanks!

[@JonDo1420]

Well I do hybrid training and look like that without use of ped's maybe you should stop hating and fitshaming on people, since you also don't like it when it's done to you.

Nick Bare is EPO'd and juiced to the gills.

[@sportybeth]

Didn’t he do public tests to prove that he isn’t?

[@shawnshawn8888]

@@wideopenthrottl are you sure?

[@NathanRiediger]

Not currently using drugs is not the same thing as lifetime natural

[@5minwatchreviews]

Don’t discount simply being lucky and not having to work that hard to look good. Reality is that happens for some people and they over hype their work on social media to sell themselves. Harsh but true reality.

[@JadesFitnessBucketList]

100% true! i find it really frustrating when fitness influencers attribute a large, if not all part of their strength/skill JUST to hard work and don't acknowledge genetics/life privilege etc. Theres an awful trend where people string together fitness clips with the caption: 'she/he's so lucky!' and then show themselves supposedly 'working hard' implying there is no element of luck at all. Of course people may work hard to achieve x strength/skill, but the lack of acknowledgement for luck and life circumstance is bewildering to me.

[@Minder777]

As someone who's been into fitness for over two decades, I promise you - very few people have this luck. A more correct analysis would be that they're cheating, i.e. drugs.

[@sportybeth]

Yeah genetics can play a part too

[@Minder777]

@@sportybeth - If training and nutrition is 99%, genetics is 1% in most people.

[@reggie7716]

interference effect is real.

[@sportybeth]

Yeah it is real but the impact isn’t as significant as first thought as I referenced

[@subjidealist]

love your content. agree with this, when I was seriously running marathons and weekly training (30+ miles) I could never put on serious muscles. Now I look similar to Nick Bare and do 12/3/30 and walking as my cardio regularly. Or if you really want to be nick do a lot of gear.

[@sportybeth]

Yeah it totally depends on how you train. Though didn’t he do public drug tests to prove he’s not?

[@Hikneow]

You are the last person who is eligible to talk about fitness, training and diet tbh.

[@sportybeth]

Incorrect, I’m both highly qualified in the subject and also fit myself, and I coach hundreds of clients helping them get fit too. Fitness isn’t a body type.

[@Bebertoo]

@@sportybeth What u mean bruh you're like 40% bodyfat 💀

[@DicksonMaimouth]

When I did cross💩, I saw a lot of women who looked like her, and they were strong af! They would run faster than most of the other members and perform lifts that most guys couldn’t match. Our society is simply inundated with influencers who influence what we think fitness and health should be. We need to learn to think for ourselves.

[@Hikneow]

@@sportybeth I will see you running a 10 mile run. lol

[@EmilyPlatt-d6t]

I don’t hear her saying anything that isn’t true here.
