I am really content with what i have already listened on your video about hybrid fitness method. I have been surching for the best exercises on building stamina, pure strength, agility and power. I am a Jeet Kune Do legitimate instructor in the art Bruce Lee. I have worked out a lot with Bruce Lee’s Fitness regime. Besides I have tried going through the sled exerrcises, that i have built the device by my own self, As well as on Kettlrbes rtaining. your ideas and creativity on the type of fitness that you chose are really amazing.

[Reply]

Mike and Elliot,

Thanks for the downloads guys.

As a personal trainer for the past 10 years, I’ve seen way too many people wasting time with exercises and machines that don’t challenge them the way they really need to make changes.

I think these reports do great justice to helping to combine strength and function.

Keep up the great work.

In health,

As a fitness coach with over 9 years and 1000’s of hours of hands-on experience and having a dedication toward mixed martial arts and powerlifting, I fully endorse and appreciate the concept of hybrid training. This model definately defies what most personal trainers and so-called fitness experts proclaim can’t happen simutaneously – build muscle and lose fat at the same time. Most trainers waist your time, money and self esteem by placing clients on a step by step process just to build muscle.

The human body is highly advanced and functions by constantly maintaining homeostasis – balance and adaptation. This is done in order for our system to survive and evolve in any adverse environment we may place it in. Therefore, it would not take a rocket scientist to assume if you place your body in a strength, cardio, body-building and power training environment all at once, it will adapt and give you the super hero figure faster than periodization.

Finally, Elliot did a great job with this explanation by differentiating between type I and IIb muscle fibers. Each muscle has a distint function and varies in amount based on the type of workload or environment we place them in. Thus, it is possible to train your body and their functions interconnectedly in order to get a lean, muscular and powerful physique. Keep up the science Elliot and Mike!

“Good stuff! I had been using a training system very similar to this and was having great results. Until I broke my arm. Now Im on the mend, but am chompin at the bit to get started again. I truly believe this program will work for anyone. Most people will not want to do this stuff. Because “its too hard”! Their loss. They can be weak the rest of their lives for all I care. Take care and I cant wait to see what you come up with next!”

[Reply]

My favorite warrior culture has to be the Vikings as well Mike! Swinging those huge axes, rowing the long ships. Talk about being super strong and having endurance to go with it. Can’t wait to see how this all fits together in a workout. Thanks dudes. Shot me an email, I wanna know if I can share this with my readers.

[Reply]

cant wait for more blogs and results…i am a certified fitness trainer and a certified specialist in sports conditioning and love to think outside the box with my clients…a wise man once said it doesnt matter how many initials you have after your name, the results are what count and how the results get networked to other people…this type of training works with an open mind and determination…keep it up

[Reply]

Sound great the proof is in the pudding, can’t wait to see the program

[Reply]

Great program Elliott! Can’t wait to hear more about this process. Once again, you are on the cutting edge of health & fitness the CORRECT way!! I’m honored to be affiliated with what you are doing.

[Reply]

Interesting stuff. I ve heard this before, its old school thinking. Reminds me of this guy i knew some time back who suggested heading outdoors to build muscle and doing stuff like carrying logs over distances and things like that.

Very interesting and will certainly give it a go.

[Reply]

It all sounds good and I have thought about similar ideas while training.
I just read the book as well and the only thing I have to disagree with is the fasting and eating only once a day thing. A couple of years ago I was weight training and running regularly but I was only eating one or two meals a day and as a result I packed on a crap load of fat and looked terrible.
I eat the standard 6 meals a day now and have no problems keeping lean and gaining muscle mass (lean except for the bulk-up stage).
Other wise I will be trying some of these exercises mentioned along with my regular weight training and cardio sessions.

There are several abandoned saw mills about the place, and I raid them from time to time to pick up massive old cogs and pulleys for my weight training. I should be able to find some good stuff for this type of training…. plus I gotta drag it all home first!

[Reply]

WOW! great info!, I myself was starting to research and experiment with this mixed type of training since last month, im still trying to figure out how to put it all together. This sounds freaking fun and intense, am looking forward for more info on this

Keep it up!

[Reply]

Outstanding Elliott! Your program has had an amazing impact on not just my aethletic pursuits, but also in my career. Your dedication to health & fitness with a history is unique. I continue to surpass my goals on the pavement , ice, and in my career!

Man, this stuff sounds legit. I can’t wait to try it out. The science behinds it makes it sound more foolproof. Type 3 muscle fibers? I’m so excited to try it out. Can’t wait to hear more info about this “hybrid training”.

@ Harold – We’re working on a few things right now, but the truth is that we don’t have a hard template to follow.

We’re still experimenting with a lot of different parameters (reps, sets, rest intervals, exercises, intensity, etc.) and want to make sure that this stuff really works well before we start throwing around big claims.

We’ll keep you posted and document our results for you as we move forward!

[Reply]

As A student of Elliotts and a good friend of Mike I can say from first hand experience these training methods kick ass.

I am fortunate enough that i live near Elliott and I can first hand experience these workouts with him at strength camp. These methods will bring truth to
the fitness industry and show the world what actually works.

I look forward to more info guys

[Reply]

Elliot,
I am 59+ years old and have been a proponent of this type of training for myself and clients/athletes for years with tremendous results. Most people think i’m in my early 30’s due to my training lifestyle. I loved the downloads and thank you for them and the great information. Keep up the great work and I look forward to hearing more. Also, I have been a Type I Insulin Dependent Diabetic going on 48 years.

[Reply]

Badass report Mike. You’d think this kind of training would be good for football players too. They wear pads and wrestle on the field kind of like how warriors wear armor and in engaged in hand to hand combat. You forgot to mention the English Knights though! Maybe in part 2. Keep me informed, great info brother.

[Reply]

Elliot,
Great Stuff, but my queston is- Since I first found out about you, isn’t this what you’ve been about for a year or so now? At least thats what I’ve taken away from most of your lessons. At 34, I have had more fun with my training than ever! Having grown up in an agriculture based family business, even back in high school the muscle heads that that juiced would get pissed when the “dairy boys” would come in the gym and beat their bests! I always knew that there was a difference in “gym strong” and “farm strong” or real world strong. Thanks to you, and guys like “Z.E.” my eyes were re-opened to the kind of workouts that made me a beast way back when. (sort of funny, your gym is your business- my business has become my gym) My wife thinks I’ve lost my mind with my used wheel loader tires, tractor weights, and old well casings in our back yard! (my kids get a huge kick out of it!) And now some of my employees are catching on as we have “milk barrel” competitions to see who can carry 30 gal milk barrels for the calves the farthest! And my 4 yr old loves to time me driving “t posts” (10 posts-2ft deep as fast as you can- it’s a killer!! but great grip, shoulder, arm, specific but really your whole body is spent when your done!)
I really just want to throw a big “THANKS” for re-opening my eyes, a big “CONGRATS” on your pro card, and keep up the great work!!

[Reply]

PS. My Co-op has been working on designer milks for a few years now, we have one called Athletes Honey Milk- not as much protein content as I wanted to see but it is more of a post game recovery drink- around 22g protein. Google it and check it out, if you want a sample case to try let me know and I’ll get it to you-
Thanks Again- I really didn’t want that to be a shameless plug but it kinda sounds that way huh?

@ Phil – Yea, you’re correct… the only difference is now I am manipulating the parameters specifically for fat burning. Since I HATE cardio, I figured that I had better find a way to effectively use strength training for fat loss.

YES! Your Athlete’s Milk sounds awesome… is it really a milk supplement or raw milk? Tell me a little more about it, I’d love to give it a try.

Thanks Phil!

[Reply]

hey Elliot, thanks for the great video! i ive been using “underground” type training for a few months now and i can definately say it works! its so much more fun than the average workouts and its great for Mixed Martial Arts training too. look forward to hearing more about hybrid muscle.

-clayton

[Reply]

Good data! I see these (big) guys at the gym that can lift a lot but look fair. Also if you carry more fat doesn’t that effect your relative and ________ strength? But all in all systems like “Strength Camp” and “Underground” have always pushed passed the conventional. Looking forward for more data.

Ciao, Steele

[Reply]

Hi Elliot,

I’ve just finished reading Brooks Kubik’s Dinosaur training & it has some similar training ideas using sandbags, boulders, kegs, car pushing etc. I’ve started doing some training with my 15 year old, who’s a keen rugby player here in Australia & he’s loving the outdoor & variety aspect of the training compared to just lifting in a gym environment. Come to think of it, so am I.

Look forward to your future posts on this type of training.

Cheers,

Nick.

[Reply]

Hey Elliot, you’re doing a great job putting out good content for us, esp considering how busy you must be with a family and a business to run. Looking forward to hearing more about this proposed training system as you develop it. Some aspects sound a bit similar to a functional hypertrophy program I’m using, where each workout started with a compound strength movement (low reps), then supersetted a pair of exercises for hypertrophy (moderate-high reps), and finished with “GPP” (usually implement work). Keep experimenting… if your strength is any indicator, you’re on the right track!

[Reply]

This stuff is awesome. Simple as that. Before I read the downloaded article I have been experimenting and implementing this type of training into my routine for football getting great results. But the article really put it into perspective for my 17 year old head and has really has helped me come up with some new idea and structure. I really look forward to seeing future results and blogs.

Just a quick note there are a couple of guys who train out of a place called Gym Jones in Salt Lake City. The guy who owns the gym name is Mark Twight. Some of you might or might not have heard of him. They are all about this sort of training style and actually trained the actors and stunt men for the recent movie 300. Unfortunately the only real public notice they got was the so called “300″ workout (featured in all the big glossy muscle mags) which only just a fitness test, which now all these average gym junkies do day in and day out and call themselves hardcore or whatever.

Anyways this stuff is great. Look forward to future information.

[Reply]

I read the entire report and watched the video about 3 times because it was so informative. I do some of the techniques you suggested already and I have seen and felt a difference. I congratulate both of you on one of the greatest pieces of training literature today. Most of the stuff I have read is GARBAGE and I refuse to train like garbage!

[Reply]

Video looks great!! I’m having trouble with the report, every time I click the link, it says file is damaged and cannot be repaired. I dunno if its something on my end or your end, but I look forward to reading it.

@ Blake — The report is uploading fine on my computer… try it on another computer, if you are still having problems I’ll send you the report via email. Hit me up at strengthcamp@gmail.com

If anyone else is having the same problem, please let me know!

Thanks!

[Reply]

i will be ready for the workout will you?

[Reply]

Hey, great video can’t wait for the flow of information as you get all your results together.
I’m over in the UK training out of my garage and love the variety of traing with KBs BBs DBS SBs CBs and anything else I can get my hands on. My aim is to become a better basketball player but also keep getting stronger. So a program that allows muscle and strength building without the usual extras of bodyfat and general slowing down is a must for me. Like I said can’t wait for the next installment.

I do have one question from the video, I can do most things but have no facilities for sledge training. Can you suggest anthing that provides the same benefits or an excercise to focus on more to make up for what I am missing?

Thanks

[Reply]

does the type of training make you slower at sprinting or make you jump lower??????

[Reply]

thx for the info guys.I have been training martial arts,weight liting,boxing for over 40 yrs.I am soon to be 56,and still pushing myself to be the best i can be.As u know,we don’t have enough time to experiment with useless machines and gadgets.This program looks desighned for hardcore traing,the kind that gets me wired.Thank u so much for another valuable training philosophy.Keep em coming guys!

[Reply]

Great content on that video. You clearly enjoy what you are doing. Would of been good to do more on genetics and how critical they are to the end result.

I have been experimenting with something similar for about 2 months now. You can induce deep hypertrophy by using high reps 20 to 30 mid range 10 to 12 and then 3 or 4 always to failure. Plus other royal marine training type exercises in between sets. It is very hard so you do really need to take the rest days and nutrition very serious. More details on my website shortly (Please excuse the plug)

[Reply]

Hi guys, and thanks for the free stuff. Yo, check out sly Stallone working out for “The Expendables” movie. The man is awesome at 62. Do you guys recommend any programs to get me in “Sly Shape”? I am 49 and would love to kill it at the gym like Stallone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have found great success with some Olympic and related lifts and in particular the clean and jerk, squats and dead lifts. Once a week I do 30 reps and have them very challenging, and each week I increase the weight by about 5 to 10 lbs.
The following youtube link gives gives a good example.

After perusing the .pdf, I must say I’m a little concerned about using weight vests with sprints. One had better be darn sure they are ready or…bye bye knees.

Interesting stuff…I like where you are going with this. I have been experimenting with the concept for the last few months, cut body fat and increase strength in the shortest amount of time.

[Reply]

I have been searching for such a platform for a long time. It seems my search is finally over. Thanx

[Reply]

It sounds interesting, but what makes it different from other e-programs that are available? The test is in the program, which I will look forward to trying!

[Reply]

@ Lee – Try making your own sleds out of a tire and tow rope, that is what we use at Strength Camp.

@ Mark – No, in fact I can now jump onto the 54″ platform at my gym… I think the increased relative body strength (due to fat loss) has made this possible.

@ John – I am a genetic freak… it’s in my genes to WORK HARD!

@ Vinny L – Sly is in great shape! although heavily chemically enhanced… but, yes… this is they type of stuff you saw him doing in Rocky!

@ Daniel B – Sorry man, the video is stuck on the page… but the PDF is yours to “have and hold” — haha!

@ Ian – you are in the right place brother.

@ JD – The truth is that we are not sure yet… we are experimenting with a few “different” things. If it all works out well, then we’ll shell out the details. Stay tuned!

abolutely awesome stuff! its funny that i came across this video, because the way i have been training the last two months, have been exactly like this and i have had greater results in two months than i have ever had. I combined strongman training with sprinting and powerlifting all into a circuit training 4 times a week and i can feel and see the change in my body.
With the goal in mind of reaching my full potential, and trying to turn myself into a SUPERHERO, this information is DA BOMB! absolutely fantasic!

Nice work. Captured many of the same sentiments I have conveyed to clients and I have believed for sometime now. Great job putting it all together.

[Reply]

Hey, Elliot and Mike. Great idea. I’ve been looking exactly for this type of training for years. And I’ve messed around with some of this kinda thing before.

As for training how about this: Why not place the sets and reps in an EDT type format? Just keep doing more and more sets with the same amount of reps, and then when the reps start dropping, continue regardless until a certain amount of sets have been reached.

Of course for the more cardio heavy movements such as sandbag carries and sled drags, why not just keep a stopwatch on hand and keep sets less than thirty seconds. This should overload the muscle and continue the growth, while conditioning, and keeping testosterone and growth hormone levels high. Then just keep the resistance the same and add sets until you reach a certain number and from that point continually add weight. That should develop some super strength and conditioning. And of course there’s always tire sled rowing… like those Vikings for extended periods of time or distances.

As for the more weight-like movements, I would focus mostly on Sandbag loading, presses, throwing, carrying, and Farmers walks as these are less likely to injure the person when they become really fatigued, than say… Atlas Stones or Barbells, or maybe even Kettlebells that are pressed overhead. Classic Dumbbell swings could also be utilized instead of Kettlebells, but smaller plates should be used.

You could dedicate a different session per week to using different systems: Sandbag one day, Tiresled another, Farmer’s Walks the next, Rotational/Swing Workouts the next, etc.

I think that as long as you only focused on one exercise per day you could theoretically push your sessions continually longer and longer and always be developing more stamina and strength… also, you wouldn’t run out of ways to work a lift. And if you can Clean and Press a 280 pound sandbag almost continually for fifty minutes… you’re probably pretty strong and conditioned…

Of course this could totally not work, but it’s a theory and food for thought.

Again, great idea. Keep us all posted, cause we want a system! I think everyone does.

Christopher

Also, thanks again for providing this. I’m both a Viking and Spartan fiend ever since I read the book Gates of Fire. Frikkin awesome. This training is going to kick major ass!

Yrret,

Thanks for the comment brother!

You are 100% correct, there are a ton of BS-ers on the internet claiming to be experts and teaching people about stuff they really don’t know anything about.

The truth is that we are NOT sure what we are doing!

Mike and I have become intrigued with the idea of “Hybrid” strength training and fat loss and are just messing around with with.

We are not sure if this is even going to work, but we figured that since we both like using the internet to connect with people and enjoy building communities around unique ideas that we’d simply publish it for your viewing pleasure AND critique!

ALSO, since Mike and I both are running our individual businesses we have very little time to devise “Marketing Ploys”.

In fact, we are selling NOTHING! Just creating conversation.

As far as credentials… I have a ton of letters that I can put next to my name but often choose not to. Most guys with “credentials” rest on them… I on the other hand despise them.

I aim to approach each day with a “clean slate”… as if I am NO ONE and I know NOTHING. Brandishing letters is a way to tell people that you know something… this would be a lie in my case.

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for your feedback and comments!!!

This is awesome. The notion is so simple to buy into, but very exciting at the same time. To so greatly manipulate the tradiditional training models to this dynamic form of training has GOT to produce marked adaptation. I can’t WAIT for the next installment.

What you are describing is something that I have been working on and experimenting with for many years – some of my findings are on my site ExtremeTrainingZone.Com. The concepts are sound and work, but the science had not caught up yet. Perhaps it is up to us – the front-line of the muscle building/fat loss (combat conditioning) world – to unlock the modern “keys to physical progress” and help show others the way.

I listened to the whole thing, very interesting indeed. Been working out for many years and at age 56 I do quite well but what to go beyond that I have achieved and after so much work have not reached my goals. I think it is very different for a man of 56 to work out and train than a younger man in even his 30s. Things change but I have not given up. I was very inspired by that 70 years old guy, thanks for including him. I work out at least 4 times a week and it keps me young.

It´s true that gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time is very difficult to achieve. In my case I have another obstacle, that is RA, the reason why I am cautious with heavy weights, so not to impare my joints.
Anyway, I am looking forward to reading the report, and I also would like to hear experts opinions or comments about weight lifting when in condition with RA.

Elliott is a great presenter!

I wonder what is the “catch” to Type IIc fibers. If it is possible for fibers to be both fast-twitch (Type II) and oxidative (Type I) it seems that evolution would have made all fibers that way, unless there were some drawback.

Thanks Ken! A strange thing about our bodies… the take the form of what we do with it. So if there is a capacity that goes unused for an extended period of time.. like 10 generations! Then it is diminished or eliminated completely.

The good news is that it take 10,000 years to change an genome by .001 percent… so for all intents and purposes we STILL do posses this capacity but rarely ever us it.

very promising plan and can’t wait to see it. I’ve been lifting off and on now for 15 yrs and I’m always looking for the next big thing to help me out. looking forward to more guys so keep up the great and hard work!

[Reply]

Interesting stuff. I look forward to trying this type of training. Keep the info coming.

[Reply]

Totally agree with concept and have experimented on my own… I’ve been mixing the MAX-OT method with Rick Gray’s muscle overload training while intertwining rest/pause sets and extended pulse reps. I’ve totally recomped my physique, building muscle while burning fat,though I truly believe that the secret lies in the nutrition method one utilizes. I personally have used Intra workout feeding/supplementation and ANTF method, timing my simple carb and protein intake during and within the 3 hrs. following my training and then restricting my carbs to complex/fibrous with continued protein intake every 2-3 hrs. throughout the rest of the day. By the way I’m an early A.M. lifter.

Well done, you guys are awesome!

I’ve been a big fun of functional strength/power training for the last few years now and it has been much fun coming to the gym and looking quite hubmle with my 180lb /6ft frame but then hitting the weights and lifting a fair bit more than alot of 210lb+ guys could lift. But now I’m looking to pack some more serious lean muscle for size while keeping the functional strength that I’m so used to now.

What you guys doing would help many other guys like me to achieve the goal of being strong and lean while having the muscle enjurance at the same time. I think there is a gap for a new type of training and you’re on it – so keep up the great work !!

Can females use this type of training?

[Reply]

leanhybr Reply:
August 30th, 2009 at 1:30 pm

Certainly. See the girl in the header of the site? Male and female muscle fibers are the same. What works for men will work for women. The only difference is that it will be harder for women to put on muscle size than it will be for men. I know lots of women of all different ages that have had great success training this way. As long as you’re not afraid of getting your hands a little dirty and working hard I promise this will change the way you look at your training. – Mike

This seems like the ideal training philosophy for any athlete really.

I used to run a lot but it made it really hard to put on muscle. be intrigued to know what you recommend for guys like me that want to keep low body fat and get bigger. I thought you couldn’t do both, so it’s good to see someone who says different and can prove it.

This is good because I’m in the military and we don’t have a good gym set up so I have to improvise. The guys are excited to get big, just hope we get enough food to grow over here.

recently earned my CSCS and there’s not much talk about this. Guess it’s time for my next cert from the school of hard knocks. I’m 6′2, 235 lbs. I need to drop about 20 lbs but don’t want to get any smaller.

Text books are too practical sometimes. It only makes sense that when you train all your muscles together instead of isolating them that you’d get a synergistic response.

[Reply]

Hey fellas, I love the way you wanna push the envelope on conventional thought…good luck! My own experience (like yours) is that cardio sux! My clients have achieved greater results from old school conditioniing (tyres, sleds, sandbags) ’cause its fun and I’m sure they feel more like He-man or Wonder Woman after a workout in the park than after 30mins on the treadmill.

It’s true we’ve gotten so lazy as a society. We have to exercise just to avoid becoming extremely obsese. our ancestors were in good shape out of necessity so that they could eat or avoid being eaten. Charles Staley talks about this too in the Unnatural Athlete. Great minds think alike, thanks.

Great report!

This concept of the type III muscle fiber and how it can be “cultivated” makes perfect sense to me; because when I was in special operations training in the military I would say that I experienced and observed this phenomenon of sustaining and building strength that could be expressed for (comparatively) long periods of time.

You guys are proving a long held theory, that you don’t have to be a big-belly-body to be strong as a backhoe. In fact I am in the process of downsizing from 330 lbs @ 6′4″ 26.4 bf to 245 lbs, 9% bf before I turn 50 in ten months. Do you think that hybrid training is for me?

[Reply]

Well Elliot, it will take too much space to tell you my experience but i give it a try
I am a 16 years old former obese guy then skinny, thats right ive been obese and skinny too!
When i was a child i was averege, no skinny and no fat, somwhere betwen,
as i growed up to 9-10 years i started getting fat, more and more every month, im the end i was a nasty bull,
i was very very fat, i had big manboobs, i got all the posture problems posibile,my back was like a camels back in an S form, i got intestinal problems,
, i didnt know anything about looking good, about being confident, i was eating the worst food posibile
all the time “chips,cola,ice cream,french fries, fried food” all pepole and collagues always make fun of me and my size calling me ” buffalo”, “camel”, sumo wrestler,it was always a rain of tears when i sawn the ripped guys with hot women, and no one looked at me,
, i tryed so many programs, so many diets, so many pills, blindly following the damaging advice of the weight loss
industry, in the end i remain the same. I began to study and study, days and nights i ve been deeply thinking, i keept my ears opend to every single word talked in the gym, i purchased the programs of many experts and in the end i leaned down so fast that i got somekind of skinny guy with ugly excessive skin all over my abs and chest! 5 January 2009, after puting a bet with a huge steroider i began building muscle, with little sucess though, in the first 4 months i gained back FAT instead, i leaned back down and i still have excessive skin that looks like fat, i dont know what to do should i start building muscle again?? should i switch powelifting? Maybe your “Hybrid Muscle” program will allow me to do both!

[Reply]

This is very fascinating. Have any of these other researchers that you’ve talked about actually documented increase in mitochondrial density, or are they just all theorizing? This concept is not completely new to me, due the fact that in rock climbing your strive to develop what we refer to as Power-endurance. In fact, I would say that if anything fit into what you’re talking about, it would be high level climbing. You must perform powerful, strengthy movements over 3-8 minutes of climbing.

While it fits into the time line of cardio, and it definitely does tax your cardiovascular system (speaking from experience) you must also use powerful movements involving major upper body and even sometimes lower body muscle groups.
Watch this video of world famous climber Chris Sharma, and tell me he doesn’t have Hybrid type III muscle fibers!

It’s awesome that I found you guys, because this concept has been
on my mind for a while. What’s interesting is I also found a triathlete
study about what hey refer to as speed-endurance, which is simply
the ability to maintain maximum speed “wattage” for extended
periods of time.

The concept they discussed was not related to mitochondrial density,
but actually to the rate at which the type I endurance fibers can
metabolize lactic acid. type II muscle fibers produced quite a bit of
lactic acid during work. The build up of lactic acid is known to cause failure during strength activities. The theory is that by working in a zone called the “lactate threshold”, your can actually increase your type I fibers ability to metabolize lactate and thereby increase the duration a muscle can maintain a maximum strength efforts.

So this might be another factor in developing “long strength” I’ll do some more research on how to hit this “lactate threshold” zone get back to you guys. Maybe you can experiment with the idea. Let’s keep in touch, e-mail me any time. Right now I’m studying to become a personal trainer, and I’m highly fascinated with climbing performance, and I’m actually trying to create a training program for climbers. I think we can help eachother out here.

[Reply]

very informative video. There´s a site (only in German) called Fast-twitch, proving that x-Fit training (with a little twist) can make triathletes better (= faster, more stamina,..) without the long, boring hours on the bike, in the pool or running in the streets.

At the end of the day, it comes all together – no matter how you name it.

Agaim, very informative, thanks Elliott for a great video!

Same thing happens to me. When I try to add mass I wind up getting a little fat, than when I try to cut down to get ripped and show my abs I lose too much muscle. The process takes way too long. Hoping you guys find a solution to this cause I’d be the first in line.

You mean I can toss my eleptical machine? Don’t have to ask me twice!

You must be smart since we have the same name. JK….lmao. I read this two weeks ago and started trying farmers walks at the gym with dumbbells and I already feel like my traps are bigger. I love having big traps.

[Reply]

I’ve always believed being gym strong isn’t the goal but doing these full body functionial exercises has to burn more calories for fat burning. Isolation is great for the pump, but if you want strength, function and fat burning you have to add this “hybrid training” you’re teaching about. Seems that it’s been around for hundreds of years yet nobody has acknowledged the type III muscle yet. Interesting and thanks for the information guys. Nice to see that even though you’re both so busy you’re helping out anyhow.

[Reply]

The gym is 40-minutes from where I live and costs an arm and a leg. This seems like something I could give a shot on my own at home. Thanks.

Great workouts for MMA. When you’re grappling with people being able to run 4-miles doesn’t carry over to fight. At my training center our coach follows a lot of these same principles, he’ll be glad to see what’s going on here.

[Reply]

Heck Ya! That’s what I’m talking about. All these punks walking around thinking they are tough. If you were really tough you’d train this way. Girls too, anyone can be tough but this looks like a REAL workout, not like the fake bowflex commercials and supplement ads. If you build it, they will come. Thank you, Your friend laurence.

[Reply]

We don’t have a gym on base and have to improvise. If you need to workout and don’t have access to all the state of the art equipment this is certainly a great way to stay shredded to the bone. We use concret blocks and ammo cans to train with. Do what you gotta do right?

[Reply]

I can’t say anything bad about running, but I can’t do it anymore. I liked getting in the zone, but have developed some pretty bad shin splints as of late so I’m open to exploring other options to keep toned. well put together and video. I printed it out so I can read it again. Susan

Hybrid cardio definitely burns more fat. I teach a muscle toning class here in Oklahoma it’s a small town, but the members taking my class enjoy doing the cardio with weights in your hand and now I’m starting to understand the science behind the benefits I knew were there but couldn’t quite explain.

Looks like we’ve come full circle and coming back to our primal roots and basic instincts. All the man-made food, preservatives, chemicals, anti-biotics can’t be good. We’re the fattest nation in the world and people need to pool the wool off and take a look around and stop drinking the cool aide. Being brave isn’t lack of fear, it’s having fear and doing it anyway. It’s scary to try something new, but gosh darn it, it’s time for something radically different!

[Reply]

I want to do my first figure show and my coach is having me do a lot of medicine ball exercises along with kettlebells. It reminds me of being an athlete instead of a model and I always thought to achieve the best results you have to train like an athlete which is what these downloads seem to favor.

It sucks but I sit too much now for my job and seems I gain weight easier now and sometimes I don’t feel like working out after a long day so I need some kind of plan. Just need to get the accountability and motivation back and this seems like a time saving system with all the benefits a workout program should incorporate.

[Reply]

Well done mates, kudos.

I can out lift my dad at everything but he can beat me in arm wrestling and stuff like that. He’s always doing yard work and I help but he’s a lot stronger than me even though I can lift more at our gym down the rd. If I train this way I’ll get this kind of super muscle too I hope. Interesting read and good web video.

I have known Mike for 10+ years and he’s one of the few guys in the fitness industry that I trust. He follows through with what he says and always makes time for me when I’ve needed it. If Elliott is friends with Mike than he’s good by me. Whenever he comes out with something new it’s always a huge hit and produces fast results. – Russell

When I was working as a labourer for a landscaping business; I was lifting rolls of lawn (turf) and carrying them around to the backyard and then squatting and laying them, then going back for the next one(if no access for a wheel barrow. If there was access, then 6-8 rolls at a time) and also lifting rocks, digging myriad holes, and shoveling up to 6 tonne of soil, and dragging a big wide rake across it to level it. I was amazed at my own capacity to work all day, and damned hard in the heat. I have never felt so strong and vital. Now I’m a floor sander, and I have to workout to get anywhere near ther intensity… Your info makes really good sense.

thanks for the work. read the blog n looking to add this to my workout schedule

[Reply]

sounds legit

[Reply]

True, i have been using this type of workout for like a month now, it is awesome, the results are faster than other systems.
Although this hybrid system is awesome there are some cons:
1. It is pretty demanding, i have come to realise that training like this for more than 40 min is insane, leaves me done for the rest of the day, and i cant do it more than 5 days per week if i want to do something else than train ajja.
2. It makes me pretty hungry, and still some diet has to be done.

Pd: please excuse me for any mistake in the comment above i dont speak english very well.

Elliot and Mike,

Thanks for the info and the download guys. As a guy that is trying to change

his life for the healthier and achieve a type of fitness strength and endurance

that he has never had before, the info you guys are giving is priceless. I have

a trainer that is experimenting and working his way into these principles of

strength and fat burning also and I am the experiment. Thank you guys for

giving of yourselves, your time and knowledge and please keep us updated so

I can continue to be motivated.

Sincerely,

this sounds great. sounds very challenging but if it wasnt then what would be the point? i just recently found out who Elliott Hulse but after watching his videos they are already inspiring me to push myself harder

[Reply]

Great video Elliot, I have just recently replaced most of my fitness gear with sandbags, and kettlebells. My training methods have changed dramatically in the past year, the fact I can load up my car and go to the park or beach makes this training so much fun.

[Reply]

thanks

[Reply]

isnt this what vince Gironda has been doing for all those years. He had you do 8×8. Complete the workout as FAST as possible resting only 30 seconds between sets (so your heartrate is way up) and lifting heavy weights at teh same time. And look at how succesfull he was. I gues its along the same lines. The faster the workout compared to the last workout) then you progressed. Just like adding weight reps, etc.. But it was more of a power endurance workout. Like you decribe.

How can I imcorperate your ideas in my workout tomorro? Like add what to my workouts? Cardio unbetween sets?, shorter rests, strong man training at the end of workout. What do you say?

Hey Guys, Love the kettlebell stuff! Consistently learning more about them (it really is an art form,and in my opinion should be practiced like a martial art). Also love the idea of max effort conditioning, hill sprints, resisted/repeated sprints, plus the various carries are wonderful. Also, have recently started playing with large ropes, talk about a great way to de-load the legs,and give yourself a killer workout, it will really have you sucking wind! Keep up the great stuff! Thanks a lot!

amazing

[Reply]

Cool video, and great info. I work out 3 times a week doing 5 sets of the following: 25 pushups/ 10 pull ups/ 30 body weight squats/ 20 v sit ups and 40 bicycle crunches. I do this with minimal rest between sets and exercises. I have seen good results I am stronger, and I have lost most of my fat. Time to take it to the next level, and apply your Warrior physique methods… Can’t wait.

[Reply]

good stuff

[Reply]

Great stuff dudes. This is what i am talking about Heavy weights no mamby pamby workouts. I have try something similar. Static contraction training. Basiclly you lift wieght a lot of it only 3-4 inch’s hold for 5 -10 sec. do this three times and your done. my bench has increased 50 lbs in less than 6 month. So the key is intensity, intensity, intensity, then rest.

Well, this girl is certainly looking forward to the challenge!

Good info.

I’ve been lifting off and on again for years never really being satisfied. I’ve tried to go into the gym to do high reps but something inside ALWAYS makes me go heavy and I try to loose weight but can’t and HATE DOING CARDIO. Though He-Man is good, Iliked G.I. Joe( probly why I joined the military)but I like to keep my heros ” real” like Bill Kazmier. So this year I decided to give working out at home a try, doing research on strongman workouts, which I’ve always been a fan. However, I am a diabetic and don’t know how the Warrior Diet would effect me.

The Warrior diet was just an example, but I’m a firm believer that everyone is different and just because a diet works for one person doesn’t mean it will work for all. The workouts should help everyone though and since you’re a fan of Strongman this should be right up your alley. – Mike

[Reply]

The concept sounds terrific and I look forward to more info on how to make this training work for everyone. I enjoy my workouts but wouldn’t complain if they were more fun……….or more productive…..

Cheers guys.

[Reply]

Guys I had a similar idea a while ago, I was sick of just running for long periods of time and I decided to half my cardio down to 20 minutes, and do windsprints while dragging a tire. I immediatly noticed it was much harder, and I tired much faster. However the results were amazing. I’m looking for ways to do similar things in the rest of my training.

[Reply]

Hi there Elliott, just commenting on your concept of burning fat and building muscle. the facts that you state in your video is true. However what i’m about to say, you might have heard of it. It’s training that burns fat and builds muscle at the same time. I currently workout just using my bodyweight. I have never set foot in a gym, but the results that i have achieved has so far been great. This bodyweight training has been proven effective. It is what the craziest athletes on the planet use. This is based on the science on the wild animals, such as Tigers, Gorillas, etc. Ask yourself a question, how to the tigers get there super strength, speed and endurance? There are no gym equipment in the wild, absolutely nothing. How do Gorillas get their bodies, 100% muscle mass. The answer, their own bodyweight. So scientists has used the principles of the animals and used it for humans. This improves your speed, your functional strength, your endurance all in one workout, not different workouts each day. And not to mention the physique that is ready to jump out and spring into action. This training truly burns fat, builds muscle and i can clearly say that this is 100% true, because i am experiencing it. I just put together my 16 week programme and i am on my 7th week and the results are unbelievable. And one of the best thing is, that there are so many variations, you can never get bored.

Kind Regards, and thanks for the video!

p.s i am only 17 years old, so I am not any qualified fitness instructor and i don’t have a website, but with a lot of research and hard work, my knowledge increased.

[Reply]

looking forward to hearing more on this. As i have underwent a microdiscectomy last year i really want to get back into shape and stay super hero fit

[Reply]

Thanks for ur support for excercise

[Reply]

First off I started to train for the first time 2 1/2 months ago at the age of 37. I was a freaking sedentary man at work and home and really week, not fat but week. A 6 foot tall stick. I got pissed of and said enough is enough! Took some ideas from some websites, Bought 2x 60 pound sand bags 2 army bags made lots of 5lbs zip lock bags. Yea 5 lbs what can I say … I’m a weakling. Add to that that I have a Scoliosis that I am aggressively strengthening, for over a year now,. and I am dam close to be able to stick it to the doctors and say HA! Told you I’d fix my back!!!! Any way, those army bags act like Kettle bells and maybe even better because the weight is truly unbalanced. And if you twist the bag then bend it in half you have your self a very big diameter grip. My hands are constantly killing me but it feels good! I do pull ups on an free rolling thick steal pipe. Since it roles ether you force like hell to stop the bar from rolling or you end up holding your self up with only your finger which is a killer.

So for the past 2 1/2 months I’ve been train with standard BB exercises but intensively, non stop, for 45 minutes from monday to friday.
I’v been steadily losing 1 lbs of fat and gaining 1.2 lbs of muscle per week.
Any one know if this is good?

Any way I think I will incorporate some of these exercises in my next 3 week cycle in a hidden place.
I would feel a bit out of place in a big city park in Montreal with a big tire, sleds, tree trunk, A bear keg boulders and a sledge hammer. Heck might as well start up a GRRRrrrrGym! Maybe next summer!

Some very useful info! I totally agree with your concept on building mass/burning the fat at the same time (I eat like a horse and find that lots of super-setting and drop-setting amongst other things REALLY help control the weight). Totally agree also that anyone who wants to train seriously should start off by increasing cardiovascular fitness FIRST.

[Reply]

The Super Hero muscle video kicks ass!

The type of hybrid-muscle training you describe sounds very similar to the stuff they put me through during Basic Training in the Australian Army.

They called it “Combat PT” and we had to exercise wearing our full combat gear (webbing, rifle, waterbottles, sometimes a huge backpack too (think it was 30kilos). We had to exercise for extended periods of time (going through obstacle courses, carrying ammo crates for long distances, etc) while wearing our gear.

I personally, during the 45 days of basic training I gained 7 kilos of muscle and no fat. And I noticed the guys in my platoon who started out overweight lost a lot of weight after the training.

I believe that gaining muscle and losing fat both at the same time can be done.

Hey guys, very cool ideas. This reminds me of training plan done by a guy called Jon Edmondson. He also talked significantly about the Mitocondria in his book called “the man who stopped the clock”. He basically tested his theories on himself – at one time he held the world record for teh most push ups in 1 hour – something like 2.500 ! His key training program was called the Russian Astronaut training program whcih was basically 10 set of 10 basic exercises (push ups, chins, tuck jumps etc) The idea was to go thru it as fast as possible so no rest between each exercise at all… It sounded easy but oh boy it kicked butt. Awesome work out. Worth a read for the traiing plan alone if you can find a copy.

awesome video man thanks. i cant wait to start trying this workout.

[Reply]

Great stuff. Am stuck in a hotel for a couple weeks so lookig forward to diving into this. I could not find the Super Hero download. Thanks!

[Reply]

Thank a lot .

[Reply]

Sounds great guys.
Thx for the tips.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

[Reply]

It was very interesting to learn new and original ideas on the vast field of exercise. Even more convincing the recall from history of possible ancient methods. To combine strength building with endurance and functional training was my natural approach without having any ideology behind, just the fun side. Evidently the results are not so good. Now I see, there is an effort to put behind all of that a brand new methodology. Not everybody is able to be a strong man competitor but millions of sports or everyday activities can benefit from a methodical approach of improving health and wellbeing. The only real question is how fast? I do not believe in overnight results. Even less of the capacity of joints and ligaments to absorb the excessive load without serious injuries. I think that problem which throws me back repeatedly is quite general. How does it look like gradual (slow) progress in your methods?

[Reply]

This could actually be quite useful

[Reply]

hi, this theory make sense to me as my father had masses of lean muscle and imense strength gained by the same principles when he worked in the quarries

[Reply]

Wow! I can’t wait to give this stuff a try. Thanks for all your dedication. Much appreciated.

[Reply]

I would love to hear more

[Reply]

Looking forward to working this type of training

[Reply]

as a beginner the video inspires me a lot to work hard to have a body like that.
Thanks for the opportunity to watch this video and make me feel that I can make it.

[Reply]

Great stuff..its about time someone had something innovative. Thanks

[Reply]

This is swesome training and just what I’m looking for. Bring it on. Tell me more.

Fantastic report…from Thailand.

Great info. Can’t wait to try it.

[Reply]

Amazing stuff guy’s,but i seem to lack motivation what can i do to over come this,any idea’s??????

[Reply]

Great movie I cant wait to get the skinny on where to start. The last time I transformed myself it took a year to get only half way to where i wanted to be. This seems like a way for me to shred the wall I hit and get the body I have wanted all my life. Keep it coming

[Reply]

Hey Elliot

You guys are surely on to something. I have always felt the same as you (about bulking and cutting, so dumb) and altered my workouts to burn fat and built muscle at the same time. It works and I have been training this way for a few years now piece mealing all the info I can attain from different sources to create a new way to train. You have got it correct and I like the name you have giving it. I wish I had access to train in a gym such as you have. I typically work out in a regular gym but use very different methods many along the same lines as you are teaching. The equipment is really not right in regular gyms to train in this method properly. Keep up the good work.

As you so rightly say , that you have not iron out all the kinks ! I have seen some of your idea’s but not sure where you going with regards to a training method .
I believe that you need an objective and a goal to reach , but you have to know how to reach that goal , I don’t think that you can just drag a sledge around and hope for the best or lift sand bags until you are exhausted , can you ? Yours Sincerely.

[Reply]

this is really some real good hot stuff,this will certainly boost my training

[Reply]

I’m just getting started at age 44 and this was very interresting to listen to. Can’t wait to get started.

[Reply]

Just to let you know, you guys are right on time and on target! The military finally figured out that the standard daily dozen calisthenics and endless running wasn’t building warriors, we were building kids that looked good in uniform and athletic gear. Now if you want to survive on a battlefield with 80 lbs of body armor, helmet, weapon and individual gear, you have to work your body for that job, in other words, train like a warrior! Keep up the good work and remember all those soldiers and Marines fighting all over the world.

Walter Payton must have trained this way

[Reply]

Looks like a good way to get out of the grind, break some plateaus!

[Reply]

I liked the download and the short video. I have always felt I was a warrior at heart… The reason I started weightlifting was “Conan the Barbarian” who was quite the warrior. I mean swinging that 40lb broadsword, AWESOME. I was also a huge fan of He-Man, and what kid didn’t want to be him. I too would pretend I was He-Man. I can’t wait to incorporate these concepts into my training. I love heavy lifting, and I love breaking things. AWESOME!

It’s great to get such stuff, even though my age will restrict me from using all the advise given herein. But thanks and appreciate it.

COMMENTS ON MY PROFILE AND STRENGTH CHALLENGE ARE WELCOME.

I STARTED TRAINING WITH WEIGHTS IN 1945.

MY MOTIVATION WAS THE SAME AS CHARLES ATLAS ( REMEMBER HIM) LIKE CHARLES ATLAS I WAS HUMILIATED BY BULLIES BECAUSE I WAS EASY PREY.
FORTUNATELY I WAS ATHLETIC AND A FAST RUNNER. THEY COULD NOT CATCH ME BUT IT WAS EMBARRASSING.

AFTER TWO YEARS OF DEDICATED TRAINING WITH WEIGHTS THAT I PURCHASED I CONFRONTED MY TORMENTORS. I DID NOT RUN AND THEY SHEEPISHLY WALKED AWAY. TYPICAL OF BULLIES. THEY ONLY BULLY THOSE WHO ARE WEAKEN THAN THEY ARE.

IN MY DAY WE HAD NO GYMS IN SOUTH AFRICA SO I BOUGHT A BARBELL, TWO DUMBBELLS, A HEAD STRAP AND IRON BOOTS

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF MY STRENGTH, AT AGE 83 I CAN DO A DEADLIFT WITH REASONABLE EASE OF 150 KILOGRAMS (330P POUNDS) MY MAXIMUM IS 160 KILOGRAMS BUT THEN I HAVE TO PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS.

AS A HEALTH ACTIVIST I AM LIVING PROOF THAT EVEN OCTOGENARIANS CAN BE STRONG AND HEALTHY IF THEY ADOPT A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

I am a professional pitcher who has been using training like this for about 4 years now. This video helped connect some dots for me on why some things have worked how they have.

Some examples can be seen here. Unfortunately the audio has been disabled by youtube and my pitching coach Fletch who made this video passed away last year so he cannot edit it. I am going to redo some of this stuff.

It is my ambition to bring the superhero physique and personia to the mound. Thanks for the information packed video.

[Reply]

I play on the University of Western Ontario (Canada) Varsity Football Team. As you can probably guess we spend hours on the field, and hours in the weight room every week during season. Off-Season is when it gets interesting. Our Strength and Conditioning Coach is a big fan of Hybrid Muscle, Long Muscle, Strongman Workouts, and the like. So, in addition to our traditional lifts, cardio and, agility he throws in these great outdoor high intensity cardio, strongman workouts that get you pumped and feeling great.

This stuff works! Keep up the experimenting and the great posts!

[Reply]

Ive heard of these hybrid work out types with names like functional strength training, combined interval training, tabata protocol workouts, ive been doing them since this summer and they work great like nobodies buissness thats how I found this site by looking for these type workouts. One thing I have noticed from these workouts are hidden benefits, such as improved balance and agility which I didnt notice to the same extent when doing just bodybuilding workouts, I have better cardio capacity than I did when doing just steady state cardio, and I kid u not but my sex drive shot through the roof also no lie. These workouts seem to be the next big phase shift in fitness.

You guys kick ass, just bought the LHM package to.
Awsome deal by the way, so much stuff for so little money.

[Reply]

this info is must have

[Reply]

Hello,
Thank you for all the information. I am 60 years old and have been involved in working out since 1972. I was involved in starting a new construction company for several years and with the amount of hours required my training was put on hold. I also went through a partial knee replacement and gained a lot of weight (45 LB.) due to the in-activity of the whole process. I am now retired and trying to remove the weight and re-gain my strength. I have been very disappointed with my progress. My training has amounted to one hour per day of aerobics and weight training three days per week. I have been performing the 10 week surge program and Positions of Flexatation program found in Iron Man. I listened to your program on superhuman radio and wish to see where your program will take me. My only concern is the wear on my artificial knee. I have been doing squats and dead lifts knowing I need them to increase my overall strength but I’m only using moderate weights on these lifts. I will keep you informed on my progress.
Thank you,
Jon Timothy Boyd

You have succeeded in presenting a clear,realistic approach to functional strength training. As a medical professional in a post-operative rehabilitation facility, it is clear that if people would exercise for function, the number of surgical procedures related to obesity and joint degeneration would be drastically reduced.
Only one criticism Elliot. You referred to everyone you obtained valuable information in your video as old people. Maybe a true statement, however you might consider some positive adjectives such as seasoned,experienced,or even wise.

[Reply]

I just stumbled on your website and with good timing coz it’s the beginning of the new year and one of my goals is to built a great and healthy physique. Will keep updating you on my progress.

[Reply]

I AM FREQUENTLY ASKED WHY I DID NOT TRAIN FOR BODYBUILDING CONTESTS.
REASON ONE: I JOINED THE SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE IN 1946 AND BECAME A DETECTIVE IN 1947. I WAS TOO BUSY FIGHTING CRIME AND INVESTIGATING ABOUT 100 CRIMES ON A MONTHLY BASIS. IN OUR DAYS WORKING OVERTIME WITHOUT ADDITIONAL PAY WAS PAR FOR THE COURSE.
REASON TWO: CONCENTRATING ON BODYBUILDING ALONE ONE CAN ACHIEVE LARGE MUSCLES AND A BEAUTIFUL PHYSIQUE BUT MOST BODYBUILDERS WOULD FAIL THE BODY MASS INDEX EXAMINATION THEY ARE DEFINED AS OVERWEIGHT OR EVEN OBESE BY THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
I OPTED FOR A COMBINATION OF POWER AND SPEED BECAUSE AS A POLICEMAN I HAD TO HAVE SPEED TO PURSUE A CRIMINAL AND POWER TO OVERCOME ANY RESISTANCE TO AN ARREST.
TODAY I STILL PLACE THE EMPHASIS ON POWER. AT 83 AND A BODYWEIGHT OF 100 KILOGRAMS I CAN STILL DEADLIFT A MAXIMUM OF 160 KILOGRAMS OR 150 KILOGRAMS WITH RELATIVE EASE. IN MY DEADLIFT VIDEO ON
http://www.facebook.com, http://www.youtube.com, http://www.blogger.com and http://www.myspace.com you will see how I deadlifted 140 kilograms with ease.

Thx for the training info!!!

[Reply]

Eliott, I find your work really interesting and I think it must work, I definiteley would like to give it a try.
And I also have a question. As a professional trainer you might have heard about Mixed Martial Arts trainig. Would it be helpful to build type III muscle fibers?? I mean, the sport is very intense and these athletes must be very strong, quick, powerful and have a lot of stamina.
Well, I’ll keep visiting the blog. Thanks.

[Reply]

leanhybr Reply:
January 25th, 2010 at 11:58 pm

Hey Jorge, it would depend on how you train. Rather than asking if MMA training would develop type III muscle fiber the question I would ask is how can I train to develop type III muscle fiber to help me become a better MMA fighter. Check out the blog for sure, you shoud find lots of helpful content. And when you’re ready to give the Lean Hybrid Muscle Building Program we’ll be here at http://www.leanhybridmuscle.com/build-muscle.html
Thanks Mike!

[Reply]

I’ve known about these workouts from a mixed martial arts instructor I had for awhile… no secret really

they do work great though… becoming a landscaper got me doing these same type of workouts, WHILE GETTING PAID!..

haven’t watched the DVD yet… but I read the ‘warrior physique’… You could have added some tips on how often/long and when to do each exercise.. and how much weight to start with

[Reply]

veary nice

I have found your website and great articles through Jeff Anderson’s blog of Close Quarters Combat Tips. I am a Marine that back in 2000 enlisted with 185 lbs of mass muscle but after going to college for 5 years, getting married, beign deployed for 28 months, having kids and working hard have lost a lot of weight (down to 144 lbs) but keeping lean muscle. At this time I want to turn my life around and go back to 185 lbs. I will get your hybrid muscle training program and keep you updated. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing it!!!!

I have been the fitness industry for over 10 years and I found the video very informative. I will be giving your program a try. Thank you.

Interesting. Reminds me of college years. I did study this for personal reasons. I recall the last time I attended a coaches meeting. The coaches had the upper physical edge. The average teacher did not look as physical! It was quite interesting.

[Reply]

ive really been struggling and would like to turn things around with these techniques!

[Reply]

Sounds perfectly plausible and possible from a biological and physiological stand point. Your experiments and the work of those referred to in the video should reveal if it is actually true. If so, I’ll begin to look like Dr. Schwartz (same age)!

[Reply]

Hey there Elliot, really enjoyed the vid, firstly your idea’s on Mitochondria are very good i’ve researched a lot of ancient training techniqes throughout my life as i am an avid martial artist of 20 yrs, studying in depth stretching and strength gaining excercises. I’ve found through my own training in the gym that experimenting with a mix of high pressure stretching and explosive weight training has aided my strength gain ten fold, i’ve always tried resistance cardio but in a more controlled way i.e carrying weights whilst doing a uphill climb on the treadmill for example, or when out running carrying a backpack full of dumbell weights. But like you i find it difficult to burn fat when adding muscle mass and size, my weight can jump from 240ibs to 260 in a matter of weeks if i’m not careful despite training in martial arts three times a week and gym 4 times a week. I have a well developed core from doing high kicks and sustained stances etc, but still find it hard to burn off the last bit of puppy fat on my stomach.. can you offer any tips any would be appreciated!!
Thanks muchly
Jay

For a Warrior type physique, it is the way to go. Very informative video.

april 21,2010 its very interesting to have a knowledge about building muscle and to have a partner in attaining improvements with this subject. I’d like your way of giving information to all us. thanks

[Reply]

I found your video very interesting. Been weight lifting since I was 22 and weighted over 180lb. Now at 27 I weight 174lb minus all that extra fat and a few more pounds of muscle, I’m worried I will never add more muscle or ever get ripped. This Monday I started doing cardiovascular training at home and mixing in squats, push-up’s, and arm exercises with dumbells. This was my attempt at giving up on adding muscle and instead going for a smaller more defined look. Your video turned this around for me, and I’m deeply grateful. I’ll try hard as I await new updates.

[Reply]

Good stuff. I’m super jacked to try this stuff out.

[Reply]

Thanks for the info. I have been using a similar system for the past 3 weeks and I’ve seen amazing results. Excited to see more of your stuff.

[Reply]

Read the Warrior Report. It is great reading, and has more information packed into it than anything else I have seen in so few pages. I can hardly wait to read the rest of the story in Lean Hybrid Muscle.

[Reply]

Just finished watching the video on Super Heroes Hybrid Muscle – I totallly understand the concepts and increasing mitochondrial density not only makes sense but may be the answer many of us have been looking for. From my own past experiences in training, I have not had the results you describe. Now I know why – I did not know how to go beyond the traditional routines. I had great cardio, great endurance so could work like a machine for long periods of time, my strength amazed some who thought that no one with my physique should be able to lift like that, but I never developed the great look I wanted. What I did was enough that it saved my life when I had a heart attack, but I am still looking for answers that will produce the total combination of strength, endurance, power and sculpted look I want. I hope your methods work the way you think they will. I am eager to try whatever it takes to produce the kind of hybrid muscle you describe.

[Reply]

As a “brand new” personal trainer, at the age of 52, I find this video very interesting. It answered alot of my questions and gave rise to many, many more! I wasen’t an athlete before so I find myself playing catch-up with the rest of the world! It’s hard to sell a service when your own progress is so slow! I want to improve my health but I’d love to have a “super hero” body to spread the word of health and fitness and to live in during my “golden years”.
So, in the words of the young folks, “Let’s do this!”

[Reply]

First let me thank you for opening up my mind and changing my thinking towards losing fats and building muscles.I am 40 yrs old and have been training on and off for the last 15 yrs doing weight training and karate.please canyou advice me on how I can use your approach to get the warriors physique doing both karate and doing the hybrid training. hank you.

…seems that the program would not apply very well to fit seniors in the 70+ age group. Do you agree?

The video Rocks, then followed by the ebook….Rocked my World !!
Ready to explode this in the gym tonight !!!

[Reply]

Great video…looking forward to trying some new things out in the gym!

[Reply]

Awesome, I have combined heavy weight training, martial arts fitness training and long distance running for over twenty years with awesome results. Good to see this type of training and I am looking forward to utilizing it in my workouts. Keep up the good work. This is the real deal!

[Reply]

I like this a lot! I’m going to experiment this with martial art.

[Reply]

I absolutely love to read about getting back to the real strength of the worlds greatest warriors. Keep us updated on your progress!

[Reply]

I look forward to giving this a go!

[Reply]

Great stuff!!! Bring on more!!!

[Reply]

Interesting video. I was on a d-1 wrestling team this year. did a lot of buddy carries and etc. felt like i got results much faster when i wrestled and lifted than lifting alone.

[Reply]

I AM FROM BRAZIL-FORTALEZA/CE. I WILL COMBINE HEAVY WEIGHT TRAINING AND FITNESS. I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THIS TRAINING AND UTILIZE IT IN MY WORKOUTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT WILL BE GREAT… IT WILL BE A NEW WAY OF STAYING STRONGER…

[Reply]

Makes sense, pretty good information.

Glad to see that this video emphasizes on strength, functional aspects of training, as opposed to just pure physical aesthetics. On a training standpoint, just wondering how much stimulus does it take in order to promote a significant increase in mitochondrial density.

That aside, by the Power of Greyskull! Would love to tap more of your knowledge.

[Reply]

Very informative!!

[Reply]

looking forward to trying it out as i haven’t look at it yet will come to this site and let you know the outcome. cheers robert

[Reply]

This looks very interesting and I can see the benefit of combining different forms of exercises. A quick question: I live in a small apartment that doesn’t allow room for equipment. And most gyms don’t have most of this equipment and there is no large area to attain access to this equipment. How does one go about using your program if none of this is available? Thanks!

[Reply]

I’ve tried it all and wound up powerlifting and accepting some fat. Anything that will lean me out over that I deem will take time away from heavy cycles, cost me muscle, and make me weaker. Now, I DO believe you can reconstitute the muscle and burn fat, as Tom Venuto attests naturally, but I can’t see winning any contests this way. I’d have to see the method.

[Reply]

Just so DAMN AMAZING guyz!!!!!!! The report + the video helped me a lot.
I wish you the best of luck to keep up the good work!
Thanks!

Anyway, I’ve been studying this matter and my Guru is Scott Sonnon.

I’ve been playing football for some years and we have been doing this unknowingly for 2 years is beeen working for me im benching 300 in the 10th grade. goodluck guys but make sure you do your experiments with 100% intensity!

[Reply]

When can we expect to see an outlined published routine that encompasses all these aspects?

[Reply]

very exciting…!

[Reply]

Awesome man! Your doing a pretty good job!!!

[Reply]

ooh…so exciting!! must try

[Reply]

Awesome!
I like your thinking and ideas.
Can’t wait to try

[Reply]

Looking forward to going through these reports!!

[Reply]

well..

even though im jsut starting out.. i think i will try this out^^.

but i wil do it with at least one resting day between the workouts to make sure my muscle recovere from the previous workout. gonna inform if i make any better prozess.

[Reply]

It took me about 6 months to lose 70 pounds. After the results I feel like I’m a little more ripped, but I know that my body has gotten weaker then before while I was weighing around 305lbs. Over 305 pounds. I could bench press 300lbs 5 times. I could squat 555lbs. I was working out at 225 on power cleans, but then I started going on a crazy diet that would cause me to deprive myself of the important nutrition that I needed to build muscle. I’m getting my strength back now and I’m proud to be at where I stand now, but I believe that the hybrid training would have been my best option. Oh well. I need to work out in about 14 minutes.

I also want to let you people know I was able to squat at least 450lbs, but it felt real heavy. I was able to bench press 185lbs 21 times. I’m working out the 185lbs on power cleans.

[Reply]

most excellent, thanx

[Reply]

Very informative, and you know what I think that I may actually give it a try!

[Reply]

Ive been trying to get fit at home using a bench and free weights but i struggle to change my routine to stop getting bored, could really do with some help!!! Thats why i d like to see more stuff like this, so thank you.

[Reply]

I can not wait till tomorrow morning-hell I will start right now. Gotta go. Thanks for the tips and motovation

[Reply]

Looking forward to more reports on this type of workout. I use to do this type of training in high school. Our football couch would make use run with either sand bags or weights straped to our shoulders. On the sled we would push it and pull it. I haven’t thought about this type of training for years. Looking forward to trying this again.

[Reply]

Awesome , i can’ wait to get starded

[Reply]

At last someone who is putting the science together with straightforward info. I am a qualified personal trainer in the UK. I have been looking at this type of training for some time.
Nice work on the video very informative and well laid out.

Keep it coming.

So, training the type III fiber would somewhat involve training heavy, but for an extended period of time. Is there a fine line of doing so, but not overtraining? There was a time in my life when I was ultimately dedicated to the max, and would just knock out one heavy set after another on all machines in the gym involving the muscle that I worked. While it felt great to work hard, I realized that I did not get anything out of it, not even the growth of a type III fiber. Also, would training the type III allow you to achieve the same gains in strength that you would experience if you were to train strictly the type II fiber? Say you performed the same frequency and intensity in your workouts, training one fiber or the other. would you gain less strength training the type III as opposed to the type II, or would you gain more? is there a difference? Keep at it with your research, and I hope you come across a discovery. Good Luck!

[Reply]

Good, concise and clear.Though the science is being debated,you cannot fault the logic. It makes sense and seems to follow the adaptogenic nature of the body, if it adapts to one,why not all three? It also highlights that old paradigm, 5 elements in your fitness, train one and the others will suffer. Train all of them and they should all benefit. I am a kickboxer/boxer(too old for MMA now!) that has weigt trained alongside it for years. I wasnt the fastest, but also wasnt the slowest! The old adage about weights slowing you down, is rubbish, I realised watching sprinters!
So some weights accompanying some high intensity cardio(bags, pads and circuits) has left me with single digit fat %s in my mid 40’s. Now weight is not an issue anymore, I have adopted these type of circuits, building on the bodysessions I have used for years now. I am heavier(as well as older) but the weight is muscle and I am still fit.
The keyword is intensity. That is where the real benefits are and the type of training that your system advocates is what people want and need, but are unwilling, by and large, to subscribe too.
It is their loss and your, and your subscribers(believers?) gain. You are prescribing the oldest training principle, hard work.
Train hard ,fight and live easy.
Keep up the good work.

[Reply]

I am so satisfied with the information you have sent to me. I cant wait to go
to the gym and try out the new workouts.
thanks

[Reply]

This is nothing new. I’m impressed though with your science and logic on this. I’m 16. Been working out for about a year and a half. When I started, I decided to combine resistance and cardio, which can be approached from many “angles”. You guys, though, ingeneously codified it. And the TypeIII Muscle Fiber thing – pure genius. Really, I knew there was a reason this worked so well. Keep it up guys, you definitely are earning your place among fitness greats and with the right exposure, you’ll change the game and set the standard for generations of Fitness to come

cool.

raring to go

Wish I could see the downloads prior to making a post. Hopefully they are as good as they seem.

Cool fellas.
Thx for the DL…

I experience something like this. So I’m gonna be a senior in high school this year and I run all year round. Cross Country, Winter Track, and Spring Track. But During the track seasons I lift heavy weights like 6 reps 5 sets for bench at 200lbs (I’m only 140lbs and my max bench is 225 one rep) and curl/tricep/bicep 90 with the same reps and sets. So thats the strenght building right? And then the running would be cardio. Then on the next day I’d run again but use fast twitch muscles through sprinting, while in the gym i’d be doing endurance training on my chest and arms while doing varied ab work both days. I have only sundays off for running but I take sunday and thursday off for weight training. So What would you say I’d need to change to see faster results? Also if you could recommend any recovery methods for dislocated shoulders I’d appreciate it (hasn’t healed for a year now but thats because I lifted on it).
