And this ties in how to health/longevity?

I definitely don't lift to keep bulking up. I lift to be in good shape and to get the resistance training in general.

ffmi specifically...not that i know of but there are studies on muscle and longevity...they are correlation of course but they show positive outcomes especially in quality of life.

Assuming one is 18% or lower

I rank resistance training as number 1 for health and longevity

diet that’s high in protein number 2

Walking number 3

Ability to perform high intensity cardio number 4(I think ability to sprint I fill out is important in your 50s &60s

Zone 2 cardio number 5


And John Rusin has been on the 10+ hours of zone 2 a week BS. Imo, like yours, totally unrealistic. Many of the influencers have gotten completely out of control saying you need 15-20 of exercise a week. Way way out of control

There are a bunch of studies looking at correlation between 8k and also 10k steps per day and life span…huge correlations. You will have google them, I’m on my phone typing between sets, sorry

8k and also 10k steps

OK, so just in aggregate

So do you need to have one of those body scans to determine body fat percentage to accurately use the FFMI calc?

i.e. unless you're completely ripped the FFMI means absolutely nothing of any importance to anyone

if you have an accurate BF% you can use it too.

honestly though, most should not even worry about it until below 15% bodyfat on a dexa
