This was an amazing discussion, thanks for sharing. Depressed Eugene really resonated with me as I had that mindset for decades and it was really debilitating. Fortunately i got out of it and can enjoy life my way and feel inspired by others instead of intimidated. You guys create great and informative content together and i hope it continues. Maybe you could do this regularly as a podcast? Thanks for making this content, it has helped me change my life and fitness habits in a positive way.

[@Doris-i4x]

Very interesting discussion guys! You’ve given us lots to contemplate. Very helpful, thanks for your honesty!

[@nihalbhamrah4726]

I do athletic bodybuilding like mario rios preaches mainly focusing on compound lift with some isolations after it but the only thing I haven’t done for more than a year now is do any cardio as my gym treadmill is manual and really bad and doesn’t have any form of cardio machines lol but now i have made my mind to start and will start with 30 min run from this sunday

[@abull9579]

One of the best talks I have ever heard

[@jolothefighter]

I love the flexibility that being a hybrid athlete brings, as well as how it makes me more well rounded and balanced for most every aspect of fitness. Pursuing running, weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, callisthnics, swimming, rock climbing, mma, wrestling, fighting in general, sprints, conditioning, jumps, biking, etc. really adds a ton of fun to my training, and i can periodie and specialize in any number of ways to fit my schedule or what i feel like doing. Its amaizng. 24.7.5

[@campusmuscle4303]

As a former bodybuilder who competed at the Olympia I agree with many things stated in this video. I loved the process of building muscle and competing but I was losing athleticism and mobility. While prepping for a comp. I was so fatigued I couldn’t focus on my family and play with my girls .

[@Cynane27]

This collab is legendary

Pillars of Fitness: Cardiovascular Endurance Muscular Strength Muscular Endurance Flexibility Body Composition Speed and Agility Power and Explosiveness Balance and Coordination Anaerobic Capacity

[@ryandeffley7652]

I've always preferred strength, power, and performance over trying for full on aesthetics. Also, it's things like balance, agility, and stability that matter with age. I mean, I'm glad I have visible abs year round and everyone wants to look good naked. But ultimately health and longevity are driven by well rounded training.

[@thomasgibbons9481]

I completely agree i started with only bodyweight training the. I realized weights help me achieve the skills i wanted then i joined the swim team and now i am being recruited to a college for a swimming scholarship i enjoy training many things much more the. One

[@janbalangue357]

It’s because the specialists have so much sway in the fitness industry that the term hybrid training is needed.

[@synergyrevolution2332]

Probably also because there is an extremely small number of "generalists" who really know what they're talking about. Most of the generalists are hokey Hollywood trainers.

[@hick5y]

look at that watch - definitely a hybrid athlete!

[@Swolidarity]

Two of my favorite guys

[@nigelgallagherpbp]

People say kids get in the way of training. I have two small kids and I'm more focused on training and more consistent because I now have more incentives to stay fit, agile and healthy. I want to play and jump around with my kids - and be around when they're older. Kids also like seeing their dad do handstands 😂

[@MegaPrimalinstinct]

Be interested to see what coach sommers thoughts are on this. He has been know to talk about how gymnasts have been known to complete marathons without any running training at all. The build strength, dynamic mobility etc to the point than running is very easy. What's your thoughts on this?

[@Nico.Rabeee]

Mindset bomb

[@manuelthenics]

My routine Push- Weighted dips, pike push ups, weighted push ups, cable overhead tricep extensions, lu raises Pull- Weighted pull up, Tuck Front lever raises, One Arm Incline Ring Row, DB bicep curl, Cable face pull Legs- Bulgarian split squats with dumbbells, machine belt squat, machine hip thrust, seated leg curl, seated calf raises

@@ruy7758 What's with the question mark?

[@JonathanCodes-ol1cm]

No barbell squat, bench or deadlift nice 👍 I don’t do any of those either

[@abull9579]

Can you reflect and do a podcast related to what to do for health and longevity rather then just training for specific goals like strength or aerobic or calisthenics etc

[@Mani_Matter]

one of the best natural bodybuilder

[@harrypalms453]

Pretty sure Eugene was on gear when he competed. I think he mentioned it in a video.

[@Anonymousdeletedaccount...]

imo eugene isnt the best looking nor does he always have the best training advice, i do like hearing his opinion cause he's a cool guy with a lot of correct info too. Another thing as the comment above me pointed out, Eugene aint natty.

[@rocksaboo]

Mike Mentzer heavy duty training one of the best form of training.

[@duckman12569]

Yeah, one of the guys I still see from highschool use to be pretty shredded when he was looking for a girlfriend.. now he's running his own business, got two kids.. no time for it anymore. It's a shame, but it's not like he's wasting the time. Hopefully he picks it back up when his kids are a bit older, and before health issues start cropping up.

[@neville.perkins]

This whole "hybrid training" buzz is so amusing. I've always done multiple things to stay fit and healthy, isn't that how the human body evolved? Now if you do more than just one thing, it is suddenly called hybrid training, LOL! Boxers run and skip rope for fitness. Martial artists do strength training for power. Most sports include weight training of sorts. Runners go to gym to do squats etc for muscle strength. I bet none of those people ever thought that they were "hybrid training".

[@hocuspocus6681]

That's not true, a lot of young men are funnelled into body building only. This is about diversifying.

[@tyronesullivan8165]

I totally understand what you're saying. I've been in fitness for many years and what is called "hybrid training" was just staying in shape. When did it become this complicated?

[@ryandeffley7652]

​@@hocuspocus6681- Sadly this is a negative influence of social media. Also, the ironic thing is that guys on average today are much weaker. I mean, people now claim that 225 on flat bench is some unachievable elite standard for most of the general population. In the mid to late 90's when I was in high school, most guys were repping that with strict form by 16 or 17. Then hitting 315x5 by 20 was a good goal.

[@ryandeffley7652]

Great comment man. I have always had the same mindset as well. But you and me are a bit older and weren't heavily influenced by social media aesthetic culture starting out.

Dancing around the fact that body building is both physically and mentally unhealthy. It has nothing to do with health, it's a pretence.

[@platogenova9573]

Hilarious this guy has just jumped on the hybrid bandwagon about 18 months too late and pretends to be an expert.
