Agree. Seems his passion is training for strength and explosive athletic sports.


absolutely because i look at quality of life not just absolute how long can i live

For longevity however, cardiorespiratory fitness becomes becomes paramount. The 5x mortality benefit signal is so strong compared to the .25 for strength


do you want to look at the studies on those doing 8k steps, those that can do 20 pushups and start combining the numbers and adding them up?i didnt say cardio isnt important. steady state joggin isnt though but if you like it, do it.

and i dont underestimate by bias towards strength at all. i have stated plenty of times on here that jogging is douche as frick and i hate it, despite being a runner in my early days. yall can think the army for making me hate it.

but in all seriousness...no i just feel many times on here people say...go do cardio when people are asking to just be healthier or for aesthetics. its not that cardio isnt important its just not at the top of the list imo.

like i said...if you like it...then keep doing it. but i think yall way way under estimate yalls bias towards strength and many of the runners on this board are almost anti strength and think 20 pushups a day is all you need and running is everythign.

I actually agree with you on jogging. I think for base cardio it’s not ideal: too intense, too fatiguing, too much impact on the joints/muscles. It interferes with strength training because of it. I still do it some because I enjoy it

But I don’t think just getting steps in is not going make you more fit. Not saying it won’t make you healthier because it will by making you less fat. You have to increase your heart rate

I prefer inclined walking on a treadmill or a bike. If I lived in a place with any terrain then I would ruck/hike. I try to get the heart rate up into the 120-130 range. Causes little to no fatigue or injury risk.
