How To Train Like A Hybrid Athlete

[marsha]

Just had to let you know how much I enjoy your vids.I do adjust everything you say to my age and fitness level. I'm 65 yr old female...thats right..65 and I walk 3 miles Mon-Fri, resting Sat-Sun. You have inspired me to add another activity, like swimming, to my routine. Keep up the good work! This Senior is cheering for you! Your never too old to be the best version of yourself.

used to do a upper lower split, switched to your minimalist split and I can genuinely I enjoy workouts so much more now. thanks for making the stuff free, it’s extremely helpful for the guys who don’t wanna pay. Respect.

Ur videos are like tailored for me lol. I’ve been training jiu jitsu and muay thai for 3 years and half and i love the minimalist apporoach, not too mentally draining and does the job.

I agree with what you said at the beginning, I also feel like fighters and athletes have better physiques than body builders

Doing hybrid training is fine and great if you enjoy it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with doing weight training for strength of hypertrophy alone. Most of the skills (namely, strength and balance) are domain specific: while practicing split squats may be better for cycling than a barbell back-squat squat, it certainly doesn't map better on to the demands of a high-jump athlete. While hybrid training is great and having varied athletic interests can be good for you, this video gives the impression of looking down upon people interested in just weight training alone. If you enjoy weight training routines, do that; if you enjoy hybrid training, do that. One form of training isn't inherently better than the other for everyone, its all about the individual's specific training goals.

Finally, someone that talks about tendons, ligament + mobility. I love ur videos as they are holistic; integrating both mindset and taking mental energy into consideration. I was thinking about athletism when i came across this video of urs. I was a gym bro few years back n now getting back in shape. 1 thing i noticed from training in the gym last time was the absence of these key things. Kudos! Ur point on the importance of replenishing during weight plateau also helps me very much. I hit it recently after 2 weeks on restricting my diet. So on that day i enjoy the food that i used to love to replenish my mental energy and my body cravings. Now im back to the game again and have lose some weight 😄I’m an Asian too and you’re an inspiration to me 💪🏻🔥

Love these videos. Going through hard times with a chronic eye disease for 2 years. Hope to get back to training and chasing goals. It’s just survive at the moment.

Wanhee took fitness videos to a different level....and these videos are really adding explosive values in our regular fitness journey . Thank You So Much Wanhee .

This is really good advice. I appreciate the wholistic approach. For better or for worse a lot of the fitness industry focuses on how to build as much muscle as possible, but there are facets of fitness outside of bodybuilding. I think this more general approach is better for most people and the trend of being a “hybrid athlete” is a turn for the better.

Heavy compound lifts like Bench press, Squat and dead lifts are beneficial for athletes building their upper and lower body strength leading to more explosive strength.

Hey Wanshee, I realy apprechiate your work. I cant wait until You Release the Gym free routine. Because i cant train in a gym.

[gphanisrinivasful]

"...who has swapped his personality for protein shake" 🤣🤣 amazing video as always Wanhee. You save the best advice for the last, very important to rest and take it easy. Not only taking breaks, but also doing deload weeks helps, once every few weeks when you are still training, but not doing as much volume or going all in. Those weeks can also be used to work exclusively on mobility and stability as well.

I play soccer but also wanted to build a physique like other players such as Neymar(pre injury), Mbappe, and others. Thanks for sharing the info Wanhee!

[iangrant]

Good video, thank you! Picked up some interesting ideas on this one. I am using my gym training to help my fitness/mobility when playing badminton, and I'm using badminton to help my resilience and quicker explosive movements at the gym! Badminton is not a tough sport like the ones you mentioned, but the principles you mention definitely still apply I think :)

[xLuxors]

Watched this video, went to the gym with the mission to train explosively and with negatives this time. It is SO much harder bro LOL love the challenge, I feel weaker in a good way!

[bensonvong]

I think this is more an all around athletic type weight training/tactical barbell, etc more than hybrid athlete. At least in terms of the current usage. Hybrid athlete (which I think is a gimmicky term) currently refers to people who train for heavy lifts + endurance. These are usually opposites in terms of training regiments (strength training vs cardio). It could be people trying to deadlift 450 while running a sub 3 marathon, etc.

[ВладимирАнтипов-пч]

Thank you, no bs video as always
P.s. I thought it would be a merch advertisement lol

Wanhee~ the gym from my place is 30 mins away driving by car. Can you please provide more videos on exercising at home possibly even without any tool/instruments? I only have a yog a mat, 2 5kg dumbbell and a dip bar.
