Try This Hybrid Bodybuilding Workout

Thanks for the workout Elliot. Having spent the last month rehabbing a deadlift back injury, I think I shoul point out that the guy in your video doing deadlifts is rounding his back to a point where he is risking serious injury.

Thanks again for the video. Good stuff.

Maybe try leaving about 2-4 seconds at the start or the end of the video so we can see the whole thing to copy it down. After all,we can pause it.

Thanks a lot for this program. I have a question. Can I incorporate some “cardio” (basically, running – I like to run and I have specific targets like marathon running – not that I really need/want to shred fat) and how can I do it without compromising the program? thanks

Add weight to yourself, (weighted vest, etc.) when you run to put your muscles in a “work” mode instead of a “cardio” mode…..

Where can you get a weighted vest?

I got mine on Amazon
10 Kg. However, this is just another workout. I need to train to really run. I mean, I need to do for instance 20 Km in less than 1h 50′. Using a vest is not training me for this.
Maybe the term “cardio” training is confusing. I am trying to run long distances. Endurance is just one of the aspects. I need also to train for instance for strengthen my joints and have a special focus on lower back and in general my core.
I was thinking of doing the “long” run on Sunday as usual (this would work together with the “food cheat” day), move on training on Saturday and have another day in the middle of the week for running, and use the “free” day to mix up “free” gym training and the second run. Two runs + a long run on Sunday is enough for running training.
Maybe I should simply give it a try

Another thing… I wouldn’t really do chest on Monday. Everyone does it so the bench is pretty busy in every gym

It’s still there. Not sure why you can’t see it.

Hey Elliot,

I’ve watched all of your video’s this website and YES I stole this workout just to understand more of what your telling to us. The video’s about how to design your own workout is very interesting but it doesn’t tell me what sort of workouts you can combine.
For example used to train 1 type of muscle a day (like chest and triceps, back and biceps). Of course you are more experienced than I am, so designing workouts is more like 1+1 for you.

Today I started with the workout and yes it feels good en intense. While I’m typing this it’s bin 4 hours ago since I’ve trained and i can still feel my muscles being worked.

Hope I get a reply from you.
I respect the effort you’re making just for us people out there.

Thanks for everything so far.

Greetings from The Netherlands!

When sandbag loading do you lift them like stones, where you are scooping from the underneath and sides, or do you just grab them from the sides and rip them off the ground more like a clean? This morning we did them and I took the “clean” approach because of time. If I lifted more like stones it would bring my hips down some and would work my posterior chain more I would think but it would also decrease my overall time.

thanks for the help!! This stuff is GREAT!

For fronts squats and whatnot – where are the percentages???

Matt,

I don’t follow percentages (in fact I think they’re usually BS, but that’s another rant)

Just use a weight that only allow the prescribed rep range (no more no less)

You recently reposted this video so I checked it out again. I plan on trying it out next week. This is an old video/blog post so I don’t know if you will even see this question but I will ask it anyhow: where is the fat burning part of the program? Is the “resistance conditioning” the only day you directly deal with fat loss or am I missing something? M,W,F are “strength” and “bodybuilding” days (and Thursday is open), right? Thanks.

Great article. Tax return time is coming up. Time for me to buy my copy of LHM. Any sales coming up lol.

Hey I rewatched your video you did in December on an actual LHM workout. I plan on doing it. 2 question; 1 – what can I substitute for the sandbag loading (gym membership) and 2 – you have 3 strength/functional days and 1 resistance cardio day (and 1 “openwork” day), is that 1 day cardio workout enough to burn fat? I am about 30lbs over weight but in reasonable shape. Thanks.
