ive been training for overall strenght for some time now. if i now start training for muscular endurance, will that hurt my overall strenght?
and will it be due to the endurance training or just because i dont work out strenght anymore, but endurance?
 
Why do you want endurance?

The thing to keep in mind is that it all depends on the intensity of the two. Adding a bit of endurance work won't hinder any strength training and visa-versa.
 
i have been training for strenght in one month now. and i was wondering if i did a month training for muscular endurance, if the strenght i have gained in this past month will dissapear easily?
 
Yes and no. Strength gains are mainly neural adaptations. But regarding strength, a person who works in the "endurance rep range" will be stronger than someone who doesn't work out.

I'd actually advise to work strength and endurance concurrently. Either way, we tend to do better in the rep ranges we work in.
 
okay. so if im at the gym working out my biceps and chest. i should first do with low reps, then with high reps? on that same day? dunno if i have the time for that.
 
I'd pick one main movement (eg:bench) for lower reps (5-6) and then shoot for some incline db pressing at mid reps (10-12ish), then hit the cable cross over or dips for higher reps (15-18ish). So, what I'm saying is use your main movements (squat, bench, row, deadlift, push press) for lower reps and use the assistance stuff (incline db, 1 arm rowing, hamstring curl) for high(er) reps.
