this. basically that HIIT is NOT cardio. and you arent going to actually improve your cardiovascular health and endurance meaningfully without incorporating long duration low intensity sessions. its conceptually easy to think that HIIT is going to improve your cardio because it ups your heart and breathing rates but it doesnt use the aerobic energy systems that much. you need max aerobic work to activate the enzymes that increase your mitochondrial density and oxygen utilization.
well better stamina, less exertion, no brain fog, better boners and fucking etc in day to day life is not boring. 5hrs per week is not that much of an investment for massively improved quality of life
bro its like 30 minutes 3-4 times a week coupled with 2 days of HIT. I can do that and all my workouts done in under two hours. If you gay zoomers actually DID something at the gym instead of take pictures of yourselves or play grab ass youd actually see results
no lol. 40-45 minutes minimum heart rate below 150bpm. if you have to open your mouth to breathe at any point you fail. tape your mouth shut and breathe through your nose only. that should make sure you stay at low enough of an intensity.

, 80% aerobic activation during a 5k. Piece it together.
>straight arm pulldowns to isolate your lats >dropped bench press and focus on OHP for better shoulder health and strength >8x3 allowed to lift heavier weights at a high set, low rep scheme >replaced RDL with weighted back extensions >replaced squats with leg press and leg curls >lifting 3x per week using a high set, low rep scheme with heavy weights allowed me to counter all the excess calories I eat. >weighted dips help break through OHP plateaus
The number one thing that has prevented my progress is something getting in the way of lifting. Injuries, sickness, moving, vacations, etc.
Whatever you can do to make yourself more consistent will help you immensely in the long run.
Along these lines, don’t ever 1RM because this massively increases your chance of injury. Also you lift bitch weight, no one gives a shit about your max, and powerlifters nearly all look like shit.

but its so fucking boooooooooooring

I was thinking about skipping cardio but I’ll go, you better not be lying
Put on some of those split screen andrew tate/gta racing videos you guys love so much and it'll fly by
lel
Don't use the treadmill, go out and actually ROON motherfucker.
Or buy a $3000 fredsled and enjoy making cagies seethe with your lycra bulge
>running
>low intensity
holy shit i share a board with retards
No, you just don't understand the concepts you're trying to use.

How is it any different from weightlifting in terms of boredom?
what if I just rip it on the elliptical as fast as I can go on the highest setting for 10 minutes? Is that long enough?
no lol. 40-45 minutes minimum heart rate below 150bpm. if you have to open your mouth to breathe at any point you fail. tape your mouth shut and breathe through your nose only. that should make sure you stay at low enough of an intensity.
So even a 5k isn't enough?
look at the image dumb ass
, 80% aerobic activation during a 5k. Piece it together.
>5k in 13 min is running at 23km/h (2m36/km pace)
>10k in 27 min is running at 22km/h (2m42/km pace)
Your table have some top tier times. Wtf are you talking about long distance low intensity with this fucking image?
Not doing 5x5 is okay.
Oh, and don't eat too much
The only way to get divine proportions is by lifting a fibonacci number of reps (3, 5, 8, 13)
thats a good one. i unironically do fibonacci drop sets on forearm exercises. 34, 21, 13, 8
Flexibility > Cardio > Strength >>>>>>> Aesthetics.
cardio > mobility > power generation / athleticism > strength > aesthetics
luckily they are all intertwined but this is the hierarchy a natural athlete or lifter should approach things.
>straight arm pulldowns to isolate your lats
>dropped bench press and focus on OHP for better shoulder health and strength
>8x3 allowed to lift heavier weights at a high set, low rep scheme
>replaced RDL with weighted back extensions

self confidence
seriously bros JUST FUCKING ASK HER OUT OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL
To my past self whom I cannot ever correct. A letter:
Learn time management you fucking retard.
Signed,
Me
don't ever fucking get fat
the gains will come with time and proper nutrition, but don't EVER get fucking fat
Natty lifting is a zero sum game of constant exhaustion and injury. Even a little T will let you stay ahead
That I will need six figures a six pack and be six feet before a woman will speak with me.
Might seem obvious, but: Consistency is king.
