Show Notes & Resources

Can you really build strength and conditioning at the same time? Or does cardio kill your gains? In this episode, Anthony Hagele breaks down the interference effect in concurrent training and how to program for both strength and endurance without sabotaging progress.

In this episode we’ll cover:

  • Why the “cardio kills gains” myth is outdated
  • What the research says about strength, power, and endurance when combined
  • The five levers you can control (order, spacing, modality, volume, intensity)
  • Practical ways to structure your week for strength and conditioning

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance lifting and cardio, this is the playbook.
