    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 fricking 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

        homie 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 homosexual zoomers actually DID something at the gym instead of take pictures of yourselves or play grab ass youd actually see results

      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.

            , 80% aerobic activation during a 5k. Piece it together.

      >10k in 27 min is running at 22km/h (2m42/km pace)

      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.

    Natty lifting is a zero sum game of constant exhaustion and injury. Even a little T will let you stay ahead

    Might seem obvious, but: Consistency is king.

    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 b***h weight, no one gives a shit about your max, and powerlifters nearly all look like shit.
