if someone were to do only running(cardio) and eat at a calorie surplus what would happen?
would you gain muscle?

Skinnyfat
what if you ran for like 5 hours a day and still ate at a calorie surplus?
Now you're a fat shit with good heart and also no cartilage in the knees
youd look like shit
HOW THE HE'LL WOPULD YOU N0OT BUILD MUSCLE?
Running is catabolic. It does not require muscle (look marathon runners) so it does not build muscle
what about biking?
so cardio actually does kill gains?
No, it does kill your joints
if you are fat or athletically subhuman it is possible
No, it just doesn’t produce gains
>so it does not build muscle
Yes it does, you build leg muscles, it just plateaus pretty fast so the intensity has to be increased.
>(look marathon runners
Marathon runners are training for endurance, it's different than training for short bursts of speed like someone such as Usain Bolt for example (who basically has horse legs).
True, but OP mentioned running for 5 hours staright, hence the comparition
Bolt and all sprinters do all sorts of weight training, including resistance training and power training.
Power cleaning 110kg is actually quite impressive considering it's a woman and this isn't even her sport.
I am supposed to be impressed with what I see here?
What happens if you fail exercise?
Life is not anime, moron, you don't build muscle by doing thing ad infinitum. You need progressive overload and proper recovery.
Not him but I would be very strong right?
No you'd be very ill, just look at Goggins
>caloric surplus with no muscle breakdown
You'd be a fat shit with good heart
no lol
I see middle aged and even elderly (mirin) men like this running or cycling everyday
Chiseled thick calves but otherwise an uninspiring chunky dad bod with rounded shoulders and thin arms
If they even did some curls, pushups and band pull aparts a few times a week, they'd look 100x times better
yes you get a mailman body
You build type 1 muscle fibers which are small. You need to do lifting/calisthenics to keep muscle size
It's just how you do cardio. You only do cardio on a deficit or too close to maintence your connective tissue will have issues recovering.
I have been laughing at this maratrooner for at least 10 years now, anyone have the backstory? please don't tell me it's shopped
it's real

When dedication turns into defecation.
running gives me upset stomach too. I don't understand why someone would "run" the risk like he did instead of quitting the race.
>That grandpa pointing out the shitter.
Based.
"cardio kills gains" is the most cringe shit, as if going for a 30 min jog around the block is going to kill any gains lmao.
You're all just fat, coping morons who are to lazy to go for a run and looking for an excuse to convince yourself your doing the right thing by doing nothing but 5x5 squats once a week and pigging out on food all day so you can "put on muscle".
anything under a goal of running a 5K is not particularly catabolic.
I suggest every weight lifter who wants to practice some cardio, mobility and have the functional advantage of being able to run ''distance'' to aim for 5k.
Otherwise you can just train sprints in intervals. Look at all the sprinter gays, they are bulky and shredded because they do short, explosive runs for speed vs. endurance LISS type of running.
So technically, you can run and build mass with sprints. you can also maintain with moderately short LISS like 5K (25 mins on average).
Assuming you eat accordingly, all of this btw.
why does anyone run, its utterly mind numbing and feels shit
Unironically it just feels good man.
What
said. If you get the runner's high you'd never even question it. After a run it feels like all my problems disappear temporarily and my entire body feels lighter, like im floating. It's like I've taken a hit of heroin or something. Not everyone gets it though. Worth potentially fricking up my joints 100%
As an exclusively trail runner (450m elevation every run), having run 100km each month minimum for three years I am happy to inform you that even at a calorie deficit I am still fat but my lower body and core went from moderate to rugby world cup tier.
My legs terrify minorities when I leave the house now
*minors
Frick off back to your reddit cesspit you grooming homosexual
No I look like shit, still got 10kg to cut
>Frick off back to your reddit cesspit you grooming homosexual
Nah, man, beat you to it, u pedo know.
post legs and core
Dunno. It’s never been done before so all hypothetical.
