Imagine you're at a buffet with two of the most amazing foods, pizza and ice cream.

Do you combine them for the perfect bite, or do you keep them separate, accepting that some things are just not better together?

Now, take that idea to the gym. Hybrid athlete training promises to give you the shredded muscular figure of a bodybuilder

and the thrill of overcoming the endurance challenges of running races

and triathlons all in one package. But here's the big question. Can you really have it all with

the hybrid athlete lifestyle? Or is it like that failed pizza and ice cream experiment? In today's

or if it is total BS.

Here with us today to cut through the rhetoric and find the facts is Motive CEO Terran

Gazelle, who has a deadlift PR of 495 pounds and has also been a top 1% triathlete

in the world.

We also have resident motive sports scientist, Jankovskis who will tell you

podcast, and if you are listening in podcast version, you can see our beautiful faces and any

helpful visuals on the motiveive Training YouTube channel.

All right, gentlemen, hybrid or endurance, can they be both?

Let's take a 25,000 foot view of why we exercise. We do it to feel physically and emotionally better.

And I believe that we achieve this best when we see visible progress and we don't have setbacks.
