            The more muscle you have the more oxygen you have, the quicker your body builds up lactic acid.
            Yes cardio improves this, but when you reached a certain point, having less muscle mass will always be better in an aerobic environment.

            yes. which is why i train cardio every single day. but cardio is still the limiting factor in pretty much everything, like if I do as many pushups as I can the reason Im going to stop is cardio. and the more muscle you have the better cardio you're going to need to do the same shit.

            Pro fighters are a good example of this. A heavyweight can jump rope all they want but in pure cardio they will last shorter than a featherweight.

                Seriously tho, anon. Why? You've already said your wife brings in two thirds of the income and that's 400k if you're not lying. You wouldn't be experiencing some massive paradigm shift if you were no longer working and you've also said you'll be able to live off of your investments soon too.
                Money buys a lot of things but if you're in your late 50s, all the money you could really want and then your wife dies in a car crash for example. You can't just buy another close relationship with someone, you won't have someone to intimately experience things with and all of a sudden the money you spent decades making isn't worth as much as it was before she died. If you have kids and one of you dies then the other isn't going to feel alone or cut off and there's still someone to enjoy everything with.

                In total we will each have spent about 10 years in the workforce by the time we can afford to retire.
                Yes, we worked long hours but doesn’t that seem like a reasonable price to buy back 30 years?
                Because most people will spend an extra 30 years checking into a job every Monday to Friday, regardless of whether or not they like it.
                Starting at age 34 (and 31), our lives and our decisions belong only to us, and we don’t need to “feed the beast” of funding our lifestyle with labor.

    It doesn't actually fix you mentally, but everybody around you thinks you're too big to be hurt.
    So suddenly acquaintances at work are trying hard to one-up you in front of girls, and girls themselves start trying to chip away at your self worth with constant little jokes about your appearance, or how you spend too long at the gym.

    And you know that it's just a sign that you look big, or strong, or handsome, that they're "punching up", but man it's so unnecessary.

      Dog, you just gotta either turn it around on them or ask them to elaborate. If they tease you about going to the gym, just say "I'm surprised you even know what one is" or really have them break down the joke. It's a gamble because you might come off even dumber than before if you don't do it right. If you do it right, you basically have them admit they don't like fit attractive people, the you just call them sad and walk away.
