In the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: How to Assess & Improve All Aspects of Your Fitness | Huberman Lab Guest Series and the clip Strength vs. Endurance, if someone trains calisthenics and muscular endurance like pushups and sit-ups, along with a 1-hour run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and they can't see improvement due to strength, how would Dr. Galpin recommend structuring and creating a plan for resistance, strength, and weight training to improve current muscular endurance goals, such as being able to do more sit-ups and pushups under 1 minute? He mentions an anecdote about two of his students competing to see who can complete the other's exercise routine, and states that the person who focused merely on doing pull-ups did not see any progress because they simply did not have the strength.
