Is it possible...

Is it possible to gain muscle by lifting weights and things even when you're running?

I want to become stronger this summer, and I want to start lifting and gaining muscle, but my brother told me I can't because I run.

Yes. As long as your diet is sufficient.

I got what you're saying. Well I run cross country in the fall, so we start training in summer. It might depend on how much I run though. I plan to start working out on Monday.

i do a general weight session and also add a bit of c.v into it by running on a tread with 3kg weights in each arm for about 20 minutes or use the rower with full resistance.

edit: i also started taking creatine and in 2 months have near significally built muscle mass and my body fat percentage is 9.76% when i last got it checked. i also go to the gym about 3 times a week and play lots of sport, mostly football.

What would a sufficient diet be?

Also my workout schedule is in my blog, so if you have any suggestions, you can comment that :)

Just don't multi-task all your exercising with eating, even like an energy bar or something.... you can die doing that. gamer_marrik

I don't really get what you're saying :P

Like do you mean that I shouldn't cut down on food?

Or are you saying I should watch what I eat?

Please explain :)
