i do the ab roller , dont know the bnames of the other exercises , but you lean on one elbow and keep your abs tight and lift these plates to your other side , the other one is leaning on 2 light dmbells like your doing pus ups , raise up and do a dumbell row .

Thanks for the info btw , anyone else ?

You're showing signs of overreaching.

Lifting and running together is quite demanding.

But i'm not feeling overrtrained or something after the workout , i just dont like those bodybuilding workouts where you dont feel sweaty.

So how do you balance it?

have you guys seen Will Smith? thats a guy who seems like he does a lot of running and lifting. i'm just skinny, with some definition, but i want to get size like Will Smith.

basically i look like will smith when he was the fresh prince, but i want to be will smith in I Am Legend and I Robot.

how do you recover faster besides getting more sleep?

better diet? supplements?

Under the right circumstances, it's easily possible. After a long break from lifting, I went from 178 to 196 in just one month of heavy lifting and eating, all muscle. Not that I cared at the time, but my cardio took a nose dive from all that extra weight.

I come in and run like 5 kilometer in 20 minutes sometimes i go for 8 , do some cross training for 10 minutes then get a barbell with 10 kg a each side and do 5 sets of squat , military , barbell row , deadlift , stiff legged deadlift and that for 10 reps and 5 sets , then go back to cardio i'll do 6 hill sprints on the readmill after that 50 burpees and a 2 minute wall sit , go back in the weightroom for some rope pulling , weighted dips and weighted pull/chin ups , after that core training and cooling down .

Is this any good or should i change abit?

Fuck. You have just made me officially lazy.
That's a lot of training but then if you aren't feeling over trained then it's hard to criticize. You are doing good exercises though, compounds movements, unlike the TS by the sound of things who's routine is bodybuilding orientated.

Is there any sparring involved in your sessions?

Lol at 18lbs of muscle in one month!
Come on, we aren't 10 years old, so either you are lying or delusional.

You need longer duration sessions of aerobic work to increase your cardiac output. What is your current resting heart rate? There are alot of variables at work here.
