re: I quit doing cardio

I’m sorry I shouldn’t have drug body builders into it, you’re right, they are extreme examples.

I just feel like you underestimate your bias towards strength for complete fitness. You obviously are promoting a level of strength that is well beyond what is needed for a person to retain grip strength and stability in old age. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it is a preference.

I’m not trying to pick a fight, I benefit from a ton of the stuff you post. I’m just suggesting that there are likely diminishing returns for overall fitness when you are talking about 5 plus hours of intense lifting in a week. The same could be said for a guy running 6 hours per week, he would be better off spending half of that in the gym.

My kids aren’t old enough for me to compare. Hopefully it’s a short season of life and you free up some time in the future.
