True, but Is it really practical to spend 5-10 hrs a week in a gym getting strong? If you aren’t doing blue collar work, how often does brute strength come in handy?

You should read the studies on all cause mortality and quality of life on lifting

Moving. Doing yard work. Looking strong and scaring off would be attackers. Helping someone out of a wreck. I mean, is there any negative whatsoever to being strong af? You can be weak and have no cardio. Might as well be strong and have no cardio if you're not gonna do cardio anyway.

Not needing to ask for help when moving heavy stuff is pretty handy.

My yard was muddy so instead of backing my truck to my boat I just drug the trailer 40 yards to the truck so I wouldn't rut the yard up.
Had a pretty good sized tree fall on my house a while back. I was able to cut it up and get it to the road without killing myself. I have decent cardio strength but lifting logs in to a wheelbarrow took brute strength.

So I’m newish to lifting. And I literally sit and talk to people all day.
I was never able to stick to just plain old cardio because it bored the hell out of me.
I’ve been doing mostly kettlebell workouts and I love it. Within a week I had more energy and was sleeping better. And I just feel better in general. And I’m getting into a good upper level heart rate when I do swings and the like, so I’m getting a cardio workout with it.
