There are three general ways to work out when you want both endurance and strength and muscle.

Which is a very –

Odd or uncommon.

It's an uncommon way to program a workout.

No, I think the reason why that was never – because it's got cons to it as well.

So you're referring to the study that showed that they got better muscle and strength gains and endurance gains training that way, okay?

But there's some disadvantages to it, and there's a reason why –

People often don't train that way.
