By the way, the backdrops for your running footage are absolutely gorgeous. Even if I couldn't run, it'd be lovely to walk in that environment.

Great video! Being a naturally skinny ectomorph building muscle eating LOTS, I’m so worried about doing any cardio as it obviously burns lots of calories, meaning it hard for me to build muscle but the heart is the most important muscle at the end of the day. I’m frightened to do any cardio :( how did it build muscle whilst doing cardio bro? I am bulking and currently at 76kg but I just can’t seem to go up yet I eat so much. I really wanna get to 80kg but just keep going up 1kg then drop 1kg !!!

Why do you prefer to run before lifting when you do both on the same day? Doesn't the run impair your squats/deadlifts? Would you recommend the same order for people who can barely run a 5K? Or does it come down which of the 2 'sports' you prioritize (in my case I consider lifting more important than improving my running capacity). Btw I completely agree with you on bread. :) Always been a staple of mine. Bread with cheese or loads of peanut butter. Convenient, quite nutritious and tasty.

@AndrewRussellFitness 9 ай бұрын

I think it comes down to priority yeah - running is my clearer priority currently and I’m not aggressively pushing my squats/deadlifts. Whatever is the harder workout/focus of your training I would probably advise doing that first if you were to have a double training day. That way if you need to tone down the second workout of the day you can adapt as necessary having already got in your primary training 👍🏼 I also love bread!

Makes sense! Thanks. @@AndrewRussellFitness

@warrenhenning8064 11 ай бұрын

5:10 I agree that bread is targeted unfairly. Also, all bread is not created equal. I've been getting back into sourdough baking. It turns out you can make 100% whole wheat sourdough work pretty well without much extra work and that a lot of the elaborate 100% whole wheat recipes online are apparently more complicated than is strictly necessary to get a passable sandwich loaf for home use. It is rustic, sour, fantastic for soups and stews, and a far cry from the bread I grew up eating.

@AndrewRussellFitness 11 ай бұрын

Ooo nice, I started a sourdough once and didn’t get past the starter - maybe time for another go 😂

@warrenhenning8064 11 ай бұрын

@@AndrewRussellFitness it is a little annoying, but once you have a robust, healthy starter, you can keep it in the fridge and only feed it once a week or so. you can buy live starters online that will be ready to bake with after about a week. but it does require a little bit of time every day.

how tall are you and can you dunk? im trying to go on a hybrid journey for everyday use and sports

@AndrewRussellFitness 11 ай бұрын

6’1” - I wish bro, never played basketball but would love to dunk just for the athletic implications. Can always target your lifting towards more explosive and dynamic lower body movement 👍🏼

How do you structure your training? Run in am (if running) then push pull legs during week?

@AndrewRussellFitness 4 ай бұрын

I don’t keep a strict weekly schedule but more keep to the same fundamentals each week. Training for a marathon currently so it’s a bit skewed so would advise you watch my more recent video ‘How To Balance Your Hybrid Training’ where I go through it 👍🏼

What did you do to grow your chest and legs bro? Mine such been tall

@AndrewRussellFitness 5 ай бұрын

Honestly best thing I did for legs and chest was go from benching/squatting once a week to twice a week. Made huge progress in strength and size and was able to drop a lot of unnecessary accessory lifts. And if you’re a hard gainer then unfortunately just got to eat more! Good luck man 👍🏼
