Hybrid training is a new, in some way controversial, method of training. Athletes want to excel at both ends of the fitness spectrum - excellent conditioning and ability to do very heavy lifts.
In this video I will lay out the case why hybrid athletes can never become specialists in either modality. Not to discredit any of the hybrid performances - I actually think they are super impressive athletes - but rather to give you some perspective on the biochemical processes that happen inside the muscle when you train opposite modalities in the same session or within the same day.
Nearing the end of the video, I dive deeply into training volume and specificity—two key aspects that influence performance across different types of hybrid athletes, such as those in Hyrox, CrossFit, and pure hybrid disciplines. I also compare these factors with those seen in specialists, like cyclists and professional powerlifters.
