i would have answered you seriously. but because you opened with eceleb homosexualry, i will now simply call you a gay homosexual moron and leave the thread
gay homosexual moron
The people I'm referring to in my post are of relevancy as there as daily threads popping up about them ever since they kickstarted the discussion of exercise being bad for you. Thus it would bring in a bigger audience to the thread.
Black person.

You're part of the problem dumbfrick
What problem?
If I read about Jack Lalanne and his diet, I wonder how did he get so big with eating two small meals a day?
Nothing beats remaining very still and eating very little.
But your body would undergo atrophy and your qaulity of life will be less as you age.
this. i want to be able bodied like i am now when I'm an old man. I dread being one of these stick figures with zero muscle mass who have to move with a walker
You're absolutely right. Which is why I want to have this discussion.
Is benching 2 plates, squatting 3 plates and deadlifting 4 plates viable indefinitely to let our bodies age gracefully? Why not just do pushups and pullups to retain the tissue?
because its far easier to progressively overload with weights than calisthenics. Theres a good chance you fatigue well before your muscles actually achieve hypertrophy.
As if your body could tell what it is fighting against.
It is your mind and your mind only that can tell the difference between gravity acting on you and gravity acting on an object you're holding.
Noone wants to speculate here? I think limited weight lifting and calisthenics. Jack Lelanne lived to almost 100.
>Jack Lelanne
He looked like this and advocated for lifting weights well into his old age
And apparently his diet consisted of a few eggs, some fish, some oatmeal, and a lot of fruits and vegetables. Wtf is bulking and cutting just a meme?
He wasn't that big of a guy so he didn't need to waste time with bulking.
Longevity: peaceful walks in the park
Performance: calisthenics
Aesthetics: weights
You can put weights and cali in longevity as long as you don't overdo it. It is literally all about moderation.
>Goatis and Techlead
Both of those people are morons who know nothing about longevity or health.

Weightlifting is better because
-It lets you put your joints in extreme ROM gradually which will let you retain mobility in old age
-Loads weight on your skeleton which keeps your bones dense which will protect you from breaks due to falling
-Builds more muscle(unless you do weighted callisthenics) which can act as an armour to further protect you from falls, the muscle also increases insulin sensitivity and improve your immune system
You only have to do following with weights: Deadlifts, Cheat Curls, Loaded Carries, Overhead Presses.
Chin Ups, Dive Bomber Push Ups and Hindu Squats for mobility and calisthenics muscle building.
If you’re trying to get longer just stretch or have 2 people pull on you in opposite directions
Probably the same assuming your program is intelligently managing your training load and you're improving
Being obsessed with longevity will just result in you never doing anything.
Its kinda dumb considering the true way to achieve longevity is just to be a really awful person that everyone wishes would die.
That way you are blessed by the trickster god to live until everyone who hates you dies.
longevity is actually probably the best goal to focus on if you want good outcomes with a lifelong journey like fitness. if you're intelligent it will lead you away from hyper-fixating on day to day performance and autistic optimization since you see the bigger picture. if you find an approach that you can fit into the rest of your life you'll btfo autistic min-maxing morons who burn out on lifting in 5 years
I stick to the very basic weighted calisthenics (dips, pullups, leg raises and their variations) while sticking to the hypertrophy range (3-4 sets, 6-15 reps) and I'm doing fine.
I once met a 92 year old man who looked 65 and he told me his secret was that he worked physical labour his whole life.
Nice, that's a rare case some people catch some illness from physical labor and get knocked off.
I would still recommend upping your max reps every now and then, maybe half of max what you can do, it gives insane boosts, do a test every month and on that basis workout for the rest of the month.
> Max reps in 1 minute/2 = your reps x 3 sets, rest every 2 days of the week.
>unironically listening to sv3rige
words cannot describe my disgust for you.
> Unironically killing yourself like other vegans.
You got nothing on Sv3rige.
