Concurrent Training: Does Cardio Kill Your Strength Gains?
Episode 3
Monday, 20 April, 2026
Should you combine strength training and cardio—or does one compromise the other?In this episode, we explore the concept of concurrent training and the long-debated “interference effect”—the idea that adding cardio to a strength program may blunt gains in muscle size and strength. For decades, researchers and practitioners have debated whether you can truly optimize both at the same time.We break down a brand-new study investigating strength training alone versus concurrent training, and what the latest evidence tells us about hypertrophy, performance, and overall health outcomes. Does cardio actually interfere with your results, or is the concern overstated?As always, we cut through the noise and focus on what matters most: how to apply the science in a way that helps you train more effectively—and get better results.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.
