Strength & Endurance In Same W/O?

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding
1

I just wanna know what’s your opinion on mixing strength and endurance parameters in the same workout? I’ll try to illustrate with a workout example:

Back workout:

Weighted Chin-ups: 5X3
Power Clean: 5X3
BB rows : 3X15
Close grip cable rows : 3X15

Will one parameter will be conter-productive for the other or is it possible to improve both strength and endurance at the same time?

I started training martial arts and I figure strength is as much important as endurance for the time being.

Does Thibs or Poliquin or whatever wrote anything about that?

Dunno if Thib or Poliquin have wrote about this but you can use both high and low reps in your workout. It might be even more optimal than lower reps only because of the metabolic work involved with the higher reps.

I think you read Thibs’ HSS-100 program. It’s a bodybuilding program that uses lots of rep ranges in one workout. Too bad it’s a bodybuilding program and not an MMA program.

Then again, I could be wrong. You might have read something else.

Do it until it quits working…There is nothing wrong with mixing it up that way.

For athletics, different energy systems should be trained on different days. This comes from Bompa.

Who’s Bompa?

Anyway I’ll try it for a while and if I make progress, it means it works I guess.

This should answer your general question about who Bompa is.

You can also check out his website which they have a link to at the end of the article.

I found this too. Pay particular attention to the bottom of pg 178 through pg 179.

The text before and after this point may be relevant to your quest to understand why Bompa asserts this.
