Aka overtraining.
The idea of overtraining is self limiting in nature. The first time people saw Arnie's training routine of lifting like a bastard in the morning, eating a buffet, lifting at night, and doing this year round everyone was like "You're going to die of overtraining you dumb shit". But he had already been doing this for years. He didn't know what overtraining was and therefore gave it his all and became a great man in the process.
Two goals being contradictory are like continually building a wall out of stone while you pay two guys at the other end to demolish it with sledgehammers. The success at one comes at the expense of the other. You're just going to die tired.
