Can You Train Strength and Endurance at the Same Time?

Short Answer
Yes, strength and endurance can be trained simultaneously through properly structured concurrent training.

Nuance
The success of concurrent training depends on volume, intensity, sequencing, and recovery. Poorly structured programs increase fatigue and reduce adaptation in both domains.

Practical Takeaway
Training strength and endurance together requires prioritization and balance rather than maximal effort in both areas.
