Imagine writing shit like that and then publishing it and unironically thinking the stupid shit you would tell yourself would be of use to other people
Like, I've heard stories about Freeman Dyson, that he was just so busy all the time he never slept more than an hour at a time. Then there's the Piraha people of the Amazon who will take fifteen minute naps throughout the day, rarely sleeping through the night.
most people's problem isn't not enough time, it's not doing enough with the time they have. being constantly sleep deprived (which you will be, you can't "adapt" to sleeping 3 hours less a night unless you're already sleeping 10+ hours a night) is only going to make you less efficient with the time you have. Get proper sleep, spend less time on IST and other screen-based leisure activities, don't waste time drinking/hungover, and you can get a shitton done in your time on this earth.
>spend less time
I never said spend 0 time. Nothing wrong with having a bit of downtime in between or after being productive. Humans have a limited capacity for being productive, your brain needs time to recharge. Spending 16 hours working is likely to be less productive than spending 12 hours working and 4 hours relaxing.

Why would I want to run 4 miles? Running very fast for half a mile is way more useful
Is this some kind of crossfit cope?
for what fricking reason would u ever need to run 4 miles then do a bunch of sit ups for lmao
this is like when calisthenics dudes cope with being mogged by saying shit like oh i can do a muscle up and u cant LOL bro i could literally rape u with 1 hand wtf r u talking about
Military, special forces pipeline.
>inb4 hurr die for Israel
Doesn't matter. We live in a culture where people (women) are conditioned to worship the military, so any type of special forces operator automatically mogs you and your desk job every day of the week.
Except I can just tell people I was a navy seal and repeat lines from generation kill and jocko. Even military wives can't tell the difference in the 2 hours it takes to get them into bed.
>(women) are conditioned to worship the military
most women i know are so acab that they even have unconditional hatred of bouncers, let alone military lmao
deluded
Most enlisted military guys are beta chumps. There are lots of guys who join because they imagine themselves as becoming badasses playing real life call of duty only to find out that 90% of the military is logistics and paperwork.

Military Special Forces is for low iq grunts, who weren't talented or gifted enough to become elite athletes.
> t. bloatlords that have muscle but no combat effectiveness
There's a reason gladiators and other warriors weren't 300 pound muscle monsters.
>being this wrong
gladiators generally had a nice layer of fat on them because if you're getting cut, the layer of fat makes the injury less serious (since cutting fat is less damaging than cutting muscle). Probably not 300 lbs but without roids it's impossible to be 300 lbs while still having a decent % of muscle. I don't know for sure on warriors but I would imagine that similar logic applies there.

Jokes on him, boxers etc run 5 miles a day and what do you get on the heavy end? A ton of muscle bound meatheads who would tear this guy a new butthole given the chance.
true. was a wiry frick in HS, lifted for 15 years to get myself up to 220s. realized over the pandemic I was basically a fatty who specialized in 3 body movements and had lost all my sprint speed, endurance, agility etc. lost 40# back down to 185 and fricking SEAL mode now. idk wtf I was thinking, now I go in the gym and see all these posing homosexuals with their tripods and DSLRs and wonder if its just the circle of life to be a useless narcissist until your 30s
Had the same realization. I had no endurance or speed, ate like shit, but used lifting to gaslight myself into thinking i was actually healthy (considering how fricking fat everyone is i pretty much still was relatively). At a certain point i wasn't even able to lift like i used to, got some blood work done and found out that i wasn't nearly as healthy as i thought.
Realistically, very few people do any sort of balanced workout and alot of people simply fall into a workout routine that is easy for them and then justify it later (i.e. people with terrible endurance and eating discipline become "powerlifters", onions boys who treat a plate like it weighs as much as a car take up endurance running). Eventually you become ego invested into whatever it is that you do and will create reasons for why its better than what everyone else does
Ultimately, you have to decide what's most important to you: Physique, health, or putting up numbers. Realistically you have to chose one to prioritize.
I used to believe this meme then one day a friend convinced me to come jogging and I found it very easy, turns out being my cardio fitness is great for years of intense weight training
I am a huge believer in balancing cardio (running) and weight training, but anyone who says things like this totally unsolicited is coping for something
Anyone would collapse after running four miles and doing max number of random ass moronic shit. That's why it's called a max. If that author didn't collapse after working his entire body, it wasn't max.
Besides, NPC crossfit thinking like this is inherently moronic. You can lift for more than just maximizing health. You can do it for aesthetics or just for fun with peak health being secondary; these are hobbies and there's more than one way to do it. It's like reading. Yes, we all read to learn something, but does that mean every single book this moron or anyone reads must be some scientific literature? No, you can read for pleasure too.
Amazing how moronic he is considering he apparently is an MIT grad, a writer, lawyer, and former marine.
This was posted in between bodyweight exercises at a gym after watching a guy much bigger than him garner attention for a much more challenging feat than monkey-man movements.

I like this greentext because it's over a parking space, meaning the bigger guy can just ride alongside in his car if the fight were that important to him.
They are in shape, just not athletic. The journey from being out of shape to doing a triathlon is measured in years, the journey from being in decent shape to doing a triathlon is months.
Here's what someone who's out of shape needs to improve: >VO2 max >Lean tissue >Bone density >Circulation >Discipline/self-motivation
Here's what an aesthetic bodybuilder needs to improve: >VO2 max
Also, I write this because:
A) That tweet, like most tweets that aren't purely comedic, is sanctimonious and annoying as hell.
B) I do triathlons 4 times a year (500m/10km/5km).
>Bodybuilders/gymrats have large, explosive, glycolitic muscle fibers that excel only in instantaneous force production. These fibers fatigue in less than two minutes, and are practically inactive during aerobic exercise. A gymrat is carrying pounds and pounds of useless weight on them when it comes to triathlon. Fast twitch fibers require constant refilling of glycogen stores to function optimally. Having fast twitch fibers will also tax your heart more during exercise as they still require oxygen to just exist.
>Triathletes, amateur and pro have small and efficient muscle fibers that simply do not produce large amounts of force in a short period of time. However, these muscle fibers have incredible force production over an extended interval, and do not need (much) glucose. These fibers can function optimally for hours, and days at a time with little or no sign of fatigue.
Endurance sports like tri are much more than just Vo2Max.
Ability to sustain lactate threshold
Functional threshold power
Aerobic capacity
Are an additional three metrics that separate gym rats and endurance athletes. A gym rat probably would need years to do an Olympic tri with any level of competence.
Picking things up for two mins at a time is not going to train you to run distance, swim distance, or cycle distance for 2+ hours with no rest. It will most likely set you back.
I think a skinny college freshman who played HS soccer for one year would transition to triathlon faster and more competitively in one year than a gymrat with 5yrs of weight training could.
who is he posting this to? there arent any muscle bound people on twitter, even the "right wing bodybuilder" accounts are just harvesting ancient pics from bb.com
He's right that a bodybuilder would struggle with combat fitness/endurance type shit, but he's a gigantic homosexual for whining about other dudes personal fitness goals.
t. combat vet, finished a 6 mile run and an hour of judo this morning, still completely ok with lads gettin swole.
No he's not right. Callishomosexuals don't actually understand that most powerlifters have no trouble at all doing pullups and dips, let alone bodybuilders who do those exercises weighted for fricks sack.
Ahhh, this gay is a Green Beret. Absolutely makes sense why this seething DYEL takes to twatter to cope. GB's get absolutely vaporized in every engagement they experience because it is mostly 30-IQ Blacks and hispanics who contracted into those MOS's from the hood.
honestly been going through a similar revelation myself. I am approaching 30, and my injuries have been kind of stacking up over the years.
Been chasing higher weights all my life. eating a shitload of calories, getting nice dopamine watching squat numbers go up slowly month by month, year by year. However my meniscus have been getting fricked up from so much squatting.
Im realizing a 400+ lb squat achieves nothing but injuries. I'm not going to the Olympics. I'm not going to medal at a powerlifting meet.
So been progressing much more casually these days, with a bit more focus on bodybuilding and cardio. I still do strength train, but not as intensely as I did when i was 18-19. I also stopped eating frick load of calories.
I do envy those that are able to continue chasing heavy weights as they get older, but for me, its been much more chill and I actually enjoy getting pumps in the gym now, especially being injury/ pain free now.
Had the same realization. I had no endurance or speed, ate like shit, but used lifting to gaslight myself into thinking i was actually healthy (considering how fricking fat everyone is i pretty much still was relatively).

Its a tough pill to swallow, but hey, atleast you have a great strength base, and your squat and pulling form are probably on point.
I think its a very good transition to go from strength training to general fitness/ bodybuilding. Its nice not having to get angry because you weren't able to PR a weight you were supposed to on the program.
the only thing that fricking matters is either youre like 6 foot 9 and 400 pounds behemoth or you have legitimate combat experience, this >le calisthenics are LE COPE >le fat lifters are LE COPE
frick off fit, plus if youre that bothered get a fricking gun, or a crossbow (if youre a eurogay) and then learn some basic survival shit, probably wouldn't matter anyway unless you found a group to stay with
yeah but if i had an actual lean athletic body the only people id be able to attract is women
He knows he cant compete so he trains his escaping muscles.
He may be right, but onassis is most right.

I just assume something got lost in translation.
Like, I've heard stories about Freeman Dyson, that he was just so busy all the time he never slept more than an hour at a time. Then there's the Piraha people of the Amazon who will take fifteen minute naps throughout the day, rarely sleeping through the night.
most people's problem isn't not enough time, it's not doing enough with the time they have. being constantly sleep deprived (which you will be, you can't "adapt" to sleeping 3 hours less a night unless you're already sleeping 10+ hours a night) is only going to make you less efficient with the time you have. Get proper sleep, spend less time on IST and other screen-based leisure activities, don't waste time drinking/hungover, and you can get a shitton done in your time on this earth.
>he says this while posting on IST
>spend less time
I never said spend 0 time. Nothing wrong with having a bit of downtime in between or after being productive. Humans have a limited capacity for being productive, your brain needs time to recharge. Spending 16 hours working is likely to be less productive than spending 12 hours working and 4 hours relaxing.
Most crossfit types would collapse if you asked them to lift something heavy or do actual work or if you put them in a chokehold.

Because they were all 5'6" and on controlled diets?

/fit/ness looks like different things, having a massive deadlift/squat/bench is a completely different thing from running marathons or combat sports
shut the frick up, everyone needs 3/4/5/6, sub 10% bodyfat, a 5:00 mile jog with a 15 BPM resting heart rate or else you're DYEL

Yeah that would happen to anyone moron
Just by looking at his photo, you can easily discern he cannot lift 25 pounds over his head without struggling.
