This is what an actual expert trainer looks like. Listen to way he humanizes his approach to activity both physically and emotionally. Awesome to see Alec featured in longer form content.
Over the years, I've been bored and tried new things. Rock climbing was fun. I love hiking and backpacking. Mtn bike. Road bike. Weight lifting. I understand some people are specialized athletes. I'm just a normal person trying to be healthy
@lootom2673 cause the more you limit, the better you can be at the limited thing. That's why people specialize their skills, they find what they're most gifted for and then go as hard as they can for it. Like I specifically am aiming to be a hybrid athlete in terms of running endurance AND strength training, but I know I won't be immediately good at both, so I started specializing in strength, got to over 200Kg deadlift and squat and am slowly transitioning to running while maintaining strength.
@@Nathan_josiasidk i feel happy with just gym its not like i dont want to do multiple thinghs its i cant because there isnt anything like thats in my country
I usually don't comment, but this podcast was actually a bit of fresh air. The way Alec talks about training, how uncomplicated he goes about it and also his take about nutrition and this conspiracy bullshit with stuff like phytic acid was so great to listen to. In a time where every god damn "athlete" has a podcast and tries to go viral with some new dangerous food or nutrient, this was a pleasure to listen to. Also the way Eugene goes with it, the questions and everything - great discussion, thank you! Really shows how people should actually stop making things more complicated because some uneducated influencer promotes a certain split, exercise or food, because this stuff actually isn't as complicated as people tend to make it. :)
I love that i stumbled across this video. Hybrid training is something that im starting to really look into. I love bodybuilding but i also want to improve my cardiovascular capacity and be more mobile and flexible. This interview definitely opened up eyes to the world of hybrid training! Thank you Eugene!
About 15 mins into this and I just want to comment that this is extremely valuable, I've recently especially been taking a hybrid approach to try and build my cardio especially and this is the first time I've heard people talk about the challenges and confusing stuff that happens when first starting out. Super valuable for me, so thanks!
I really enjoyed this conversation! I can relate to many things here… from one training modality being too boring to having a hard time balancing things… 😅😅 but most important, I guess, is to enjoy the process.
The timing of this is wild! I just, in the last seven to ten days, started incorporating jogging, running, and jumping into my regimen, instead of just walking and hiking x amount of steps. Then, I was walking through the supermarket parking lot a couple days ago and thought I felt a pop in my knee. 👀 I was pretty freaked out, but didn't feel any pain, and I had a good leg day yesterday too, so I think I am good lol. But I will definitely keep the progress slow and steady and not try to get from 0-100 overnight! YOU ARE A LEGEND, EUGENE! Alec Blenis seems like an absolute beast as well; he seems to have been training that brain as hard as the rest of his body, like yourself. Big respect all around.
Lol i have been vegan for 10 years and its surprising to hear this guy is. Thanks for leaving it till the end so that people dont write him off immediately like he said. People do the same for me even if im bigger stronger and faster lol. But i also discovered hemp seeds. They are so good!! I eat then w oatmeal and ontop of rice cakes w/ some pbfit and whatever. Good video this is exactly what i needed as someone who is looking to transition into more of a hybrid approach
The reason you've never heard of him is because he's one of many new prototype actors to come, full of next level synthetics and stem cell infusions, all sponsored by BIG pharma/elites, and used to promote a veganism of course... as they are going to destroy all of the meat in the future with a mysterious viral contamination. (coming soon). - This has gates written all over it. And for any of you vegan fools who believe this bull... by all means whoof down that soy & berries and run 100 miles weighted, please, I beg you!!!!!! Push!!!! Push harder!!!!!!
Only 8 mins in but im loving this conversation! Personally if my frequency on specific movements is too low (less than twice a week), I get super sore. I have to hinge and squat twice a week each, else I will have trouble walking down stairs or sitting down. I'd imagine this dude is sore all of the time if he's not doing the same movements on a frequent enough basis
I truly enjoy this guys insight. Very simple to follow and if you research his advice they align well with evidence based research, Case and point the creatine phosphate utilization for recovery. Im 30 years old with 2 kids, 12 hr shift hospital job + Army Reserves. Training has changed over the years for me, BJJ is what I train for being a Purple Belt in BJJ has a lot of requirements for mobility work, explosiveness, cardiovascular endurance, strength, muscular fatigue build up. I run 3-4 times a week 1mile before workout and 1 mile at the end of the workout, sauna work, calisthenic HIIT based work, compound movements (No back squats Im a bitch), some transverse plane work with core focused movements. I do not stretch (some argue you should or shouldn't).
I’m so glad Alec is talking about something that’s “progressive moderation”. Getting better at a wide variety of things over time instead of just one thing. Also fueling that progress with a variety of basic nutrition strategies and self-care/mindfulness principles. It’s so easy to get caught up in listening to people who are stuck in one lane and then questioning how it fits together with something else when really it can be as easy as working at a few things for a while and dipping your toes into different areas as it sounds interesting and fits into your other programming.
Spot on. Love this guys relaxed attitude. I enjoy lifting. Running. Walking. Swimming. Rowing. Cycling. Yomping. Walking, running with my dog. Used to worry one takes away from the other. Then I had the thought that if I do these things I am and will look like the sort of person that does these things. I didn’t have a name for it. Now I do. A hybrid athlete. Still sounds very Musk / Tesla. Better perhaps a human using his body. That said grateful I have the luck to be able to. So far. So good.
I think people are missing out on the value of dayhiking on trails. Its such a good way of building strength in your legs, get that volume in, move blood around, and theres all kinds of intensities, intervals and ways of using your legs while doing it (picking routes with uphill/downhill or going around the peaks etc.). If I feel like it, after having been out for 4-6 hours, I might jog my way back to the car because I know I can handle the load within this training week, and boredom of being out this long often coincide in some weird way with my fitness level -- if you are not bored, then its a bit too hard. Other times I just go out for a 1 hour jog, but those really really long hikes is a whole other beast. I even branched out to doing one marathon a day and starting to see how many I can do consecutively.
I like enkiri he has some amazing knowledge but I don’t think my guy sprints like an elite quarterback lol I’ve never seen his 40 yard or 100m time but he’s def got amazing advice for programming explosive speed work with heavy lifting
I find the type of cardio affects my effective zone 2 range. Running is hard on my joints and I can’t hold the same HR for the same time as on a bike. I can push my cardio longer and harder on a bike and recover fine for my lifting sessions.
I love Alec's multifaceted approach. Why not lift heavy but run 10k plus regularly? The important factor must be to avoid carrying too much muscle mass ideally. Look at boxers for example. Thanks Eugene and Alec.
This is perfect for me! I'm running my first marathon tomorrow, and I'm already looking at what I want to do next -- I know that a body building weight lifting split wasn't it, I've been looking at some of the functional kettle bell stuff, but think this might be the way to go!
He is a very very small influencer compared to all the mid and big ones. Thats a shame tho because his stuff would not appeal to the masses so here we are with his niche community. Thats all it will be but its the most realistic way to approach training.
7:44 so relieved to have run across this, currently this is my what I felt was my problem, i felt inwas not progressing cause inwas not following thay standard workout split consecutively. I just watch so many you tube "fitness" training calisthenics running nutriention , bulking cutting, and infind my self 2 hours into work out basically practicing moves and form without even working out lol.( well I guess I am getting a workout in) But im having so much form and just recently finding this word. Hybrid. So I'm stoked this man is my inspiration. Also my ADD may contribut to this lol
I would had added that no, my zone two training is way different than the new runners given them being unconditioned. When the heart is stronger and more efficient, it takes less effort to run faster paces. Short version: a conditioned runner can run faster with a lot less effort than you. Another shorter version. Their zone 2 is faster paced than yours.
I grew up an athlete and then go into bodybuilding. Made it to the Olympia but I was burnt out and bored with bodybuilding. I also became less flexible. I knew I didn’t want to do CrossFit so switch to a hybrid type of training ( still unsure how to program it) and I feel great!
Alec Blenis - "Avoiding those types of injuries where beginner runners might be going in a little too hot" *mind flashes back to the time I ran barefoot on pavement during the summer because during the winter was "so easy" and I thought my feet could handle a few miles Nope - they both got almost instant blood blisters in only like .75 mi and I'm still not running to this day. I really gotta start again. This is redONKulous.
14:18 Im 104 ish kg and I bike a lot so my cardiovascular system is fine, but the running, my lawd it feels so awkward and wrong. Its like the first 5mins of running are spent convincing my body that running IS something it can do...
Notice he's not exactly super-jacked. He's decently jacked & shredded, but nothing extraordinary/elite. Which is another example/evidence of hypertrophy training being quite different from strength & endurance training. The former (when aimed at elite levels) is a stupid, useless, mainly/purely aesthetic goal, while the latter are admirable useful & even health-promoting (if done within reasonable limits; not aiming for extremes/uber-elite levels) goals...! P.S.: For all his achievements & high level accomplishments, he's humble AF!!
I didn't even know what a 'hybrid athlete' was till watching this, guess I am one. In my 20's I was doing PL and triathlon together, continued to lift and do the occasional ultra distance MTB event. Snowboard, ski, bouldering, DH MTB and I'm turning 50 this year. So many fun sports out there, why pigeonhole yourself into just one unless you're trying to be world class in just one?
Damn impressive, Good to see some athletes that are not the typical carnivore or fake liver king gym bro's. Not vegan myself just vegetarian or octo lacto vegetarian or whatever they call it these days, I got to have my eggs, milk and cheese but nice to know that non meat eaters can achieve this level of insane fitness, Inspirational.
18:04 This is why i need a workout partner to push me and push me to push it ..have my back..I know im holding myself.. im comfortable innzone 2 heart rate around 125 130 ish .. trying to preseve my energy for the rest of my workout lol ..terrible thanks for this knowledge and motivation
This guy is proof that anybody can be great if they put the time in. Ask him to hold a simple planche - but if he trained it he could get it. Get off your butt put in the work quit being distracted by social media and be great at something.
@@thor498 good point -you're right - that does happen. Still i have seen natural talent go to waste and hard work out do genetics. Either way you work with what you got and try to make it happen.
Lol so much hate in these comments of snall people with huge egos, that cant fathom someone being strong af and fit af only possible with roids... Great vid!
There’s a random guy in Africa that can smoke em that’s the e funniest part. World’s strongest puncher Francis N was just a random African migrant worker. Same for Wilder he was a random dude who picked up boxing.
Mild injuries are a natural part of pushing yourself in any sort of exercise. Even when you do everything right, if you're training for a race and trying to progress, nagging injuries are an inevitability as you build mileage and intensity. Same goes for lifting in the gym. Eventually something is going to hurt a little. You take the time off and treat it with respect. Do what you need to do to heal and then watch out for it the next time.
This is what an actual expert trainer looks like. Listen to way he humanizes his approach to activity both physically and emotionally. Awesome to see Alec featured in longer form content.

The hybrid tbing seems to only include running. I never see cycling or rowing

How can you do this? Genetics. That's literally the answer to every question concerning top athletes.

No they are not if you periodise better you will not have nagging pains. You will have psins that go away again. Rest better and or more please
