From the video

Answers: Can you run and lift weights at the same time without losing muscle?

• lifting weights and running
• interference effect in concurrent training
• strength training and endurance training
• running impact on muscle growth

Exercises

• deadlift · barbell
• squat · barbell
• running · bodyweight
• lat pulldown · cable machine
• overhead press · log
• walking lunge · barbell
• farmer's walk · farmer's walk handles
• pull-up · pull-up bar

What it concludes

• For untrained subjects, there is no significant interference effect for strength development when combining strength and endurance training.
• Concurrent training does not lead to significantly smaller strength gains or less hypertrophy than resistance training alone.
• Concurrent training leads to slightly smaller improvements in explosive strength compared to resistance training alone.
• The interference effect is small and can be minimized when endurance training is done in moderation or on separate sessions.
