Alex is
Doing armwrestling training
Boxing training
General strength
Canadian bench record holder in his weightclass
Got an elite ohp
Yoked
And now doing endurance training
You are an inspiration.
thats what everyday self improvement look like
i think its a regional record not national, still impressive tho
After endurance training he will be doing upside-down kick.
you forgot pick up
Well, thats all he does for a living. Still impressive
What I found with running is that if you run up hill for a long time your calves will explode
I thought the veins on my calves were gonna pop when I ran up a hill lol
I remember not running for a long time and deciding to run and after running a steep downhill, minutes later I got severe cramping in my calves could barely walk properly
Same with just walking uphill and jump rope.
Anytime I do incline walking my tibia feels it the worst for the next 5 days
Interesting
Jack lalanne did all of that too, and look where it got him...96 years old in fantastic health, as active as a prime 30 year old. Cardio is great, definitely include it in your regimen for the rest of your life.
Stoked for the open water swimming dragging an absurd amount of people on a boat behind him.
Glad to see people still talking about Jack Lalane and his legacy
Jack lalane was a sickly kid growing up until he met Paul Bragg and switched up his diet. Then that gave him the fuel to get going in movement
he didnt live to 96 tho....
@@charlesgolden6520 Yes, he did...

You really helped me a lot. I had testicle cancer and started to workout in the natural way....but I have testosterone problems, trained for 4 years with no results. Since I changed my mind with your videos, my results in the past 6 months were amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You're strong André, thanks for sharing this. Keep grinding and pursuing physique excellence, you rock!
You should look into taking exogenous testosterone to restore your body to pre-cancer levels.
Dude you are awesome
Massa cara
Keep up the awesome work bro 👑👑
I like it. Been doing marathons for a few years now and I maintain a lean physique at 6'3" and 220-230 lbs.
That's amazing bro!
Yep, can be done. Im doing ultras as 6´2 around ffmi-24/ shredded 210 and maintaining, even building up muscle. A bit more trickier on high volume cardio training as a natural, but can be done properly seasoning. A bit less might be more optimal for gains though :)
You're about 200 at best bitch
Ever since I joined the marines, in preparation for boot camp we will do these 10 mile up and down hill hikes every so often with these huge 80+lb rucks, most challenging physical experience of my life, hiking for miles with a heavy ruck is the most insane stress I’ve put on my body
That's badass AF bro
I did some short hikes with 30-40lbs and man did my traps burn. I'm really mentally weak, so that's just crazy to me.
Running truly is good for the mind. And I gotta say after a good cardio session there is not a better feeling
When a gym bro discovers cardio
Cardio is nicer if you do in the morning (I like fasted cardio, but you do you). Just let the weight training for the late afternoon (or vice versa).
@@Joao-ur7ey from my experience it’s better to do cardio after training or on a different day,cuz it will weaken your legs
@@beburs For me, it depends if both trainings are closer to each other. But in my case, I don't do cardio on leg days.
@@Joao-ur7ey either one is fine as long has you give yourself a good rest before you switch to the next activity
@@bebursEven if it does, I mean as long as you progressive overload, when you rest up your performance should be similar to if you never ran. It’s just fatigue.
Hey Alex... You have changed my life for betterment for the past 3 years. You principles an idealogy helped me a Lot... Thank you mate!
I'm happy to hear that Rajesh, wishing you continual success in all aspects of life.
I've always enjoyed jogging even though I can't go far because my asthma
To me the closest thing to meditation
Get up at 4 in the morning no cars no people just life it's amazing
Asthma really troubles during cardio. Its like your mind says you still have strength to go 10 miles but your lungs says if you go for 10 more sec I will burst up.
@@ashmitsharma9845 yep asthma is a killer literally
So hard to be physically cardio shape in any sport or any activity I find
I could be good in my jogging but terrible at my martial arts great at martial arts but terrible weight training
always having to try to improve cardiovascular with asthma is like an anchor dragging through the deepest water while the water is filling your lungs
@@knightveg only people suffering from this can understand our situation. Glad to hear from someone like you. Any Facebook or Insta of yours ?
Running and swimming has always helped with my asthma. Literraly after running a 5km, that week I can breath so good. I should try to run at least once a week.
Can agree
Ran a 50 miler in May because of that book
amazing, what about now
Solid video brother. Started riding my bike to work, awesome feeling.
Those traps are looking crazy
"Its just the lighting bro"
G M lighting with a shirt on lol
making the shoulders look tiny
Those traps aren't looking natty
Yeah, steroids and anabolic drugs do make the traps look big.
Great video, you are absolutely right. When I ran 10k in 44 minutes, it was the best feeling ever. Cardio makes you feel so good about yourself.
Although I will start bulking rn, so I will only do cardio 3 times a week.
It's fascinating to see you and your ideologies evolve as time passes by. I've been following you for years and years and man... It's just a pleasure to be alongside you on this jorney
Much love, Alex
David goggins is absolutely amazing! The way he told his story on JRE was absolutely mind bending I bought his book right after that podcast.
I love cardio too. If a bodybuilder or weightlifter can hit the bag or mitts for boxing it is a great thing
I'm glad you're pushing this. Long term health over everything!
I completely agree with you. I’m a powerlifter in the military, so I always need to stay in good shape in all areas. Last year I ran a 40 miler and it’s completely changes the mental game.
I love that guy. He got me into running as well. It's incredibly rewarding once you get through the pain.
Ge the audio book where he explains more in the chapters and such its awesome. Hearing about his first 100 mile race was insane. I've started doing cardio damn near every day now. I hate running so it is perfect.
Running through the woods is fun af
Since I started running it feels like my recovery has boosted immensely
Such a great book. David Goggins is so powerful!
Fuck yes Alex! Suspected you might have this realization at some point, especially given how meticulously you've mastered the strength element of fitness. David Goggins is a hell of a man and we can all learn something from him.
I love running when viewed as performance (time, distance, speed etc.
Running is the best thing to do for your health. I like running sprints front yards and then jogging slowly back and then doing it over and over again hit cardio style.
Hell yes, Alex! That Goggins book is inspirational.
I can relate 100% to what you are saying. I had a cast on my broken ankle until christmas and "couldn't" do sports for couple of months afterwards until I read this book. Everything changed and I've been running, cycling and swimming since then(quit smoking too). My endurance has sky rocketed.
Have you considered martial arts
I saw Goggins, immediately liked the video. Merry Christmas
7 weeks endurance training from 0km per week to 65km per week we're getting there 🔥🔥🔥
Yooooo nice work!!
Alex, cool to see you appreciating endurance training. The pendulum has swung both ways for me - my first bout with training in a general sense was running and swimming as a pre-teen. I always loved it, mainly for a reason you also mentioned here: The mind. Unlike high skill training, or even basic strenght work, which requires a great deal of concentration/attention, it feels like a pure battle of will. You can switch off your mind and just. keep. going. But when I discovered calisthenics and lifting soon after, I came across the "cardio kills your gains" myth and, despite very much enjoying it, left all endurance training behind in the name of gains. Over time, I obviously became more well informed and realized my earlier avoidance of cardio was unjustified. I thought about re-implementing distance running several times. The main reason I haven't resumed it has recently been caloric demands as it was difficult enough for me to get in a reasonable amount of sustenance for my other training as is. It think that won't stop me much longer though. One question I'd have for you is, have you found it necessary to modify reduce lower body lifting considerably? Particularly if increasing strenght is the goal, not maintenance? Please excuse the extra long comment, looking forward to more hybrid training content for sure!
Ben Grindel you hit the nail on the head for me. That’s the exact reason I am hesitant to start seriously running. I’m having a heck of a time eating sufficient calories without resorting to junk to gain weight. I’m afraid running will just exasperate that.
@@slim56 I feel you... same deal. It would be so easy to embark on a dirty-bulk diet to take care of the issue, but I'm not a fan of that idea.
2 hours swimming everyday 💪🏻
Goggins is the reason I didn't give up when I went cold in to the tough viking race in Helsinki this year, 10km and 20 obstacles
I love David goggins what a legend
Try running on trails in the woods instead of on the road or a treadmill, it's alot more fun! You constantly have to watch where you place your feet and keep your balance, taking your mind of the actual running!
I just did that last weekend for a slow 2 hour jog in the pouring rain. It was a great day.
Was greatly inspired by David Goggins, and after analyzing this form of training I realized it was exactly what I needed. Perfect for my goals, health, and mindset. Hopefully I can motivate you to do some cardio, it won't kill your gains brother. Start with my 30 challenge today!
ua-cam.com/video/StpPqRHO0Bk/v-deo.html&t
PS: I still train my legs in the full body workouts, & the accessories are especially important for injury prevention and strength maintenance.
Love biking for 25+ miles, on some occasions I’ll do a 50 mile ride and it’s tougher than any leg day I’ve ever done. I was lacking for a few months but I’m getting back to it, it’s fun cardio
Love biking
hell yeah. I love how this dude talks to us!!
I can relate with you bro,I have read his book he is extraordinary and I'm also doing more running.
That's what's up!
New goals that’s progressing & new accomplishments!!!! Get it!!
Excellent! Good reminder to set MY goals. Focus on my gains and development, not what other guys are doing. And be well-rounded. Excellent. I needed this
Been doing cardio jump rope everyday for the past 2 weeks and I feel so much better, plus my deadlift has shot up because of the extra endurance
Nice Harvey!
Lol how does one's deadlift go up from endurance training?
Xanivert I’m not sure on the exact science behind it but I think it’s this. My overall work capacity increased, this allowed me to do my deadlift warmups with a faster range of motion, I do sets of 5 so when it comes to that peak set I find that heavy weight feels light die to fast rep warmups, I’ve always found this to be true. Secondly, is just general work capacity, Deadlift is a brutal exercise so to go through the range of motion with a heavy weight takes good work capacity. Thirdly, when I do jump rope I actually try to brace my core, sounds weird but basically I try to make it so I have as minimum of body movement as I can when jumping, because of this I believe my cores work capacity has also gone up. It was only a shoot up from 220kg for 5 reps to 230 kg for 5 so nothing crazy
Man i search for some Goggins speech cuse Im mentaly damage today and I find this video. Man im start some sprints and light running in my week full of powerbuilding style trainings . keep goin this style of inspirational videos 👊✨👊
want a challenge bro I want to see a dunk man
Like so he sees this✅
Sasuke Uchiha time to begin jump training!
Went from heavy powerlifting to calisthenics and yoga. playing the longevity game and my joints feel better and did not lose any muscle mass. will start more endurance like running and swimming. Did 12 weeks to BUDS training and I feel better than ever. Done with the gym style training.
Fantastic Jeffrey
@@AlexLeonidas Like steve maxwell said real strength vs performing strength. Longevity is key. #Scoobyforpresident
Cardio is definitely more mentally straining than weight training. I used to dread it but now I look forward to it as a mental game
It's a great mental game for sure
Try a high volume squat workout. Far harder in my opinion, if you're strong at least. Upper body I agree, not that mentally taxing.
Cookiedude14 depends on how high volume. But I’ve done 8-10 rep range routines and, while grueling, aren’t the same as high intensity cardio. It’s hard to squat for 5 sets of 10, it’s harder to do shuttle sprints or >6 mile runs for time consistently, a several times a week
@@jordanescobar4627 Guess it's individual. I personally don't find long distance running, even if I exert myself as hard compared to 5 sets of 10 of squats. Provided each set is within 2-4 reps away from failure.
Also depends on your strength level, stronger usually means you're able to subject yourself to far more stress. And while I'm not a super good long distance runner, I have been running medium distance a few times a week for years, so perhaps I'm more "mentally accustomed" to it.
Also current research shows that leg strength is a better health marker than cardio. (not that cardio is not important). And I find that leg strength also makes me better at cardio, and I'm not a novice in neither area, go figure.
I just feel that squatting or high volume lower body training, is capable of subjecting me to a far greater stress than cardio overall.
I started reading that book this morning and this is the first video I’ve watched today mad coincidence!
I love this video man, and I love where you’re at mentality. I’m a huge Goggins fan and his book changed my life too
In the last two months I've gone from being able to jog less than 200 yards to jogging 2 miles. Note that I did a year of cardio training on the bicycle last year (about 4 hours every Saturday and maybe a mid-week sprint session) to get my lungs in shape, without that year of low impact training my progress would probably be very very slow right now. As-is my only real limiting factor is Knee recovery, I've actually moved to only doing long runs once every two weeks (I still weigh about 240lbs@25% body fat).
(Also I'm swimming 3x/week, excellent knee recovery)
Great book! I highly reccomend the audio book too - its set up like a podcast audiobook where David shares some stories and anecdotes from the book
So good to hear that you are adding endurance challenge to your agenda. With your mindset and general fitness real distance running will be great addition. And in fact this feeling when you finish full marathon is so great that every person serious about fitness should run a marathon once in a lifetime. Although for long term health half marathons might be much better. And they are challenging enough to keep you in a great endurance shape.
I’m guilty of slaking on cardio and used the excuses of being a hard gainer or not wanting lose my muscle mass. This forum just assured me what I need to do more often for health and a more aesthetic look. 🏃🏻♂️💨
You should look up Ross Edgley, this guy is jacked AF, yet at the same time he's doing stuff like running marathon every day for a certain period of time, or swim all the way around the british coast. I really recommend you check him out!
I'll check him out for sure, thanks man
Merry fucking Christmas. Stay Hard!
Same I read that book and it’s really amazing!
This video is one of your best of the best. I came to know about lot of people. Thank you very much for this
Another great video Alex.
very true, I can relate, it has been part of my journey.
Alex you live in Montreal correct? Tristar MMA gym in montreal is one of the best mma gyms in the world George St Pierre trained majority of his life there. You should try out Jiu jitsu and/or kickboxing. It will give you amazing gains in all aspects; balance, muscle endurace, cardio, explosive power, timing and range, flexibility and last but not least the ability to literally fuck up 99% of people
Thanks for the feedback Steven, I'll think about it
Couldn’t agree more Alex. I’ve always enjoyed serious weight training but last year I ran the London marathon. The fitness thing is obvious to anyone, but the mental strength it builds...you keep going when you could easily just quit, and prove to yourself your body can do more than you think if you use your mind. Then there’s the sense of achievement after training for 6 months in all weather. Give a Marathon a go pal.
Bro your traps actually look like a pyramid illuminati confirmed af
Goggins failed many times on his path but he learned from it. Never too scared to fail.
Definitely agree Alex, running/more intense cardio has massive benefits and I swear by it. I also read Goggins' book and thought it was an absolutely phenomenal read. That being said, how far are you willing to push the "intensity" of your cardio? You mentioned that you want to take it all the way. However, it's pretty undeniable that in order to maximize your cardio gains, you're going to need to lose muscle. Look at Goggins, he's a great example. That being said, there's probably a lot of gains you can make before you reach that point since you're still a "running novice." My question for you is, however, how far are you willing to push your cardio gains, and how much muscle are you willing to lose, if any at all?
Goggins is the peak of our insanity. Him and CT Fletcher have that in your face, fuck you and do it, mentality that I love.
Hell yeah man
Alex, jumping rope is actually pretty difficult though. I find it more difficult than running
Yeah man jump rope is incredible, I like to do that with running, boxing rounds, and rebounding. This combo gets you mad fit
@@AlexLeonidas if im not wrong jumping rope is more effective than running
@@hege947 I do both and I find jumping rope more complete, but I dont feel it as taxing as jogging for breathing. You may be able to do 10 min straight jumproping only stopping when tripping but not may be able to jog 10 min straight. I think both are awesome to practice, jump rope taxing coordination and jogging being such a natural human pattern (weve literally evolved to run long distances without getting tired)
I jump rope for an hour straight
@@AlexLeonidas had no weights during the initial lockdown and in 2 months beating my old 5k&10k PR despite being 10kg than when I was 14-18.
If you like running, I suggest trying biking. Lower impact and it's a balance of strength and cardio.
After watching this.....I'm heading out right now for a run!!! Thanks for the video n inspiration!!!
Signed up for a 50 mile race after reading that book. Ready to kill it!
Hell yeah!!
bought his book when you mentioned him the other day. must read for anyone
You're going to live past 100 at this rate
I mean that's cool and all but what person would want to look and feel like a shriveled up ball sack
IV Emperor don’t necessarily have to look like that when you come of age
As a cyclist endurance is everything. Sure lifting a lot of weight is good for strength and size but .... 200+ pounds on the body is 200+lbs on the body whether it's fat or muscle I'm not against body building but I'm against people who don't like cardio and say it's useless. Whats useless is packing on the pounds and nothing more. You're going to have the same defects as being over weight.
Joint pain , fatigue , high cholesterol , high body fat
Running , cycling , hiking , swimming , walking etc are primal 🦍.
''Whats useless is packing on the pounds and nothing more. You're going to have the same defects as being over weight.''
If it's all fat, then yeah. But if you're bulking to build muscle then strip the fat, then NO. just no
Pie Fuucker if diet is everything then my point is a body builders diet is mainly a high protein low carb meal plan. Most of the protein they'll consume is animal products (whey : the crap left over from the milk and cheese factories produce ) or acidic meats that break down into amnioacids ; erode teeth bones , and the cartilage in joints. That to me sounds very similar to an over weight person having joint pain do to similar damage of over use and under to much tension over time.
Pie Fuucker *IM NOT A VEGETARIAN* just as humans our diet should be a high carb low - lean meat diet. LOTSS of fruits LOTSS of vegetables LOTS of carbohydrates to store muscle Glycogen this is what a muscle uses as a fuel source - before muscle (which high protein / low carb leaves you with no glycogen ) maybe why creatine is used to absorb water in muscles :/ and before fat as a fuel source. You can not sustain a huge body mass unless all you do is lift , eat , sleep repeat. Unhealthy.
Agree. Even tho being a heavy individual myself and just cycling for the fun and cv-health benefits (instead of tracking my timings), I still have to smh on those who neglet cardio completely. Whats the point of all that training if youre already exhausted after barely reaching the 3rd floor?
Being strong is good an all, but being athletic and healthy is way better.
Correct my friend. I loved martial arts and boxing as a child watching all the 80s 90s fight movies and reading black belt. I was 14 when UFC first came in 1994-5 and love it till now. I also started experimenting with body weight and weight exercises to gain weight. I believe cardio stamina is more important than strength and to have power you need speed. Big muscles without stamina get tired. We all in mma world know this but arrogant bodybuilders are too naive to realize this truth. They are just walking billboards of muscles with no functional athleticism just show and no go
Became a huge supporter once you emphasized health from a nutritional standpoint as well as from a cardiovascular standpoint. I would like to note that I highly doubt doing the volume Goggins does most likely deteriorates health in the long run though
Builds the legs and does decent cardio
When you go to the gym at 4 am but it’s packed and you remember you’re in the Marine Corps. Gotta start running and jump roping more.
Great vid Alex. Please continue making more running vids👌
I like this motivation to get my endurance up
David goggins is the hero
I'm an old triathlete with multiple Ironmans (what's the plural? ) under my belt.. if anything, endurance training is not "hard", it's time consuming - that's the real issue imho. I had weeks with 25 hours of efficient training - that's a lot when you also have a job/study, family etc...
I have the book too and reading it the again till I can eventually master these principles.
Ur heart will thank you
Hay don’t stop speaking you are very good speaker your voice your way ...keep going go ahead 🏋️♀️💪
you can do a half marathon to start with :)
I think marathons are not that healthy anyway for your knee joints
Regular running increases bone density
kmcd8 we aren’t meant to run marathons especially with big muscles
non yobussiness shut up
Yes Alex! I started jogging around 3 times a week recently, after taking about 4 months from training (used to do bodybuilding), my diet wasn't great and I was in a perpetual bulking phase by eating calorie dense foods, I noticed that my heart didn't feel great if I had to do any type of cardio/endurance exercise for longer than 10 minutes, it just couldn't sustain longer bouts of continuous exercise. After almost a month of running I feel much better even though I didn't drop weight because of bad eating habits, my body still feels and looks better.
After seeing what you do for a while I can actually say. You are the man. Keep it up and stay NATTY brother you look good.
A Marathon is pretty easy, be disciplined with your pace which wants to be in your endurance range to avoid heart attacks and make sure you carry the right amount of fluids for the distance. Carb up the night before, it will turn to fat which is what your body will run on at endurance pace. 1 litre of water was enough for me to do the 26 miles as long as I was well hydrated before, don't wait until you are thirsty to start drinking. Around the 4 hour mark is a nice pace (9 minute mile) for a beginner.
Get a couple of half distances under your belt then build the mileage up gradually and make sure your running shoes are in good order. I upgrade to a better insole as standard ones get compressed really quickly.
My latest goal is to be able to walk about 20 miles carrying about 25KG of kit, I'm up to 20KG and 4 miles at the moment then my glutes are shot. I also run 5K's with a 10KG loadout using military webbing as I'm getting into survival / prepping for potential grid down situations. Nobody knows for sure that one day the lights won't go out.
What I like about cardio/running is that is another physical ability at which I can get better at. Not about the cardio itself but the improvement. I am 5'9 189lb cutting down right now and starting to run a lot more. Ideally I would be 176lb and able to run marathons and lifting heavy ass weights.
It's happening. The veganism got to him. Turning to endurance activity about 1 year in, right on schedule.
Lol he weighs 40 pounds more than you, could destroy you, could out run you, and eats vegan. You're eating so much I'm surprised you're so salty.
"VeGaN AsSAsSiN"
I just listened to that book it's insane inspiration.
Running up long steep hills is the best way to strengthen the body and mind. I live in el paso next to a mountain and its dream challeng playground.
Humans are naturally better at endurance than with strength when compared to the animal kingdom. We can even out walk a horse. We were designed to walk long distance.
Your boy you just jump on the Baki Training mindset
Fuck it , train everything 😊
David goggins changed my mindset too
Great video as usual!
Have you listened to the audiobook version of David Goggins book too?
I really should, I've heard many good things about it. Seen most of the podcasts with him though
AlphaDestiny It's still worth the listen, he goes into detail about each chapter that he couldn't fit in the book
The audiobook is fantastic! I like the unscripted commentary between chapters
came here to say this - Goggins does a mini podcast between each chapter with the his ghost author. Well worth a listen it's 13+ hours, so great to listen to on a run. He's also done two podcasts with Joe Rogan too, both are awesome.
At some point for some, the aesthetic thing becomes a secondary, tertiary or even less important factor. But health becomes more important, as does vitality, feeling good and overall performance. I have not made the full transition yet, but I think the ultimate is basically raw vegan concentrating on veg and fruits, plus long distance endurance as the main focus. Not saying it has to be strict, but rather an ideal target for most of one's focus. If you eat outside of that framework, if you train some strength, that is not terrible, I am saying make the raw vegan/ endurance ever more the focus as Time goes by and odds are you will get a long life full of vitality.
Allleeeexx! My man could you do a video on long long term joint health. There's a few longevity experts out there saying exercises like ohp aren't worth the affect they have on your joints as you age. Love the channel 😍
1st, Cardio is good. Physical therapist chiming in, saying running definitely has some serious risks. Running produces forces that are 2-4x bodyweight with each footstrike which is fairly dangerous for noobs/ couch potatoes. So 300- 900+ lbs of force with each footstrike. One should really ease into running for this reason and strategically plan the progression. It can cause a significant injury like a stress fracture in one of the strongest bones of the body(tibia) in only a few days of exercise by noobies. This can happen with warning signs by the body that are easily ignored and the injury can happen so quickly. Then Stress fractures easily turn into a complete fracture.
Tibia and foot stress fractures are extremely common. When I interned at the US navy base, for physical therapy, new recruit stress fractures were about the most common injury.
With lifting weights, noobs have a harder time hurting themselves because the forces are not near as high unless you drop something on your head.
I am not saying don’t jog. I used to be a distance track and cross country runner.
I would say be careful with the intensity and distance progressions. Endurance will improve faster than soft tissue and bone recovery and adaptation.
I would cross train for knee and foot health. Biking for example.
I don’t feel people should run unless they are lithe like a gazelle when running haha. It is a risky activity for knee arthritis imo and many knee orthopedic surgeons.
Alex ur too heavy for your frame imo to be a distance runner . Be careful. If u f the bones in your feet. Some of those don’t have good supply and can get to the point beyond ability to heal, like necrotic, and need to be removed. Happened to a friend who is a PT too.
Run on grass, etc. and be a gazelle 🏃
Or better yet bike
U are being a good example tho by including cardio
Great feedback brother, thanks for sharing.
AlphaDestiny - ur bones are already strong tho so lower risk for u.
I am agreeing ur leg size is good and running again could be fun. Biking better but dont get hit by a car.
Same! Goggins helped me to get after it everyday.Never thought I’d be able to do 100 pull-ups a day . Embrace the suck! I notice my strength increasing! I do 20 sets of 5 with 30 sec to 1 min rest between with 100 pushups
