How are you taking care of yourself? What exercises/programs are you currently using? How healthy are you?
your thread is still up you absolute fricking moron
I didn't make that thread moron.
I'm your picrel. I could derail an train probably.
Well I'm on the heavier side but I'm reasonably fit otherwise, play football (not gay American handegg). I'm also quite tall and because we're a noguns country that means people don't frick with me like they could in armed shitholes where guns enable crimes for manlets.
Soccer is for skinny homosexuals. Also I'm 6'4", heavy lifter and own multiple guns. Seethe more thirdworlder.
Heavy lifting aint shit if you're panting going up 2 flights of stairs, have fun being run down by some shambling zombies while you sleep
>zombies
You have just outed yourself as never having lifted heavy. What a shame.
If you can't run a mile nonstop you're worth a pile of shit in a real emergency. Being able to run them several years ago in highschool doesn't count. I was an avid lifter that never did cardio and got my ass humbled hard trying to run the 1.5 mile for a police test. I couldn't make 1/6th of it and was on the ground dying & throwing up. I looked more in shape than any idiot there but couldn't perform. You HAVE to run or you won't be able to actually run worth a shit. Lifting weights does not make you automatically good at any form of cardio, two completely different things.
You did meme workouts with meme weights and were on a neverending bulk, i.e. perpetually fat. You never ran out of breath while lifting, so your oxygen intake never improved. Many such cases. t. profiler pro
Your oxygen intake will never improve enough to run even slightly decently with anaerobic exercise alone. It's called VO2 max, only aerobic exercise conditions it. You'll know the minute you actually run that you suck at running, we just never actually need to run in modern times. But nocardiogays will not last a single minute of running if they had to.
Then why bring up the shortest running test imaginable? You can run for twelve minutes straight even if your cardio is shit, and that's a fact.
Lmao, no you can not. I'm telling you lazy fricks this because you're not going to be able to keep up when SHTF. Test yourself now and fail now so you learn what training you need to actually be doing.
The twelve minute running test is a standard in my neck of the woods and I can assure you that 99+% of the attendees most certainly can indeed run for that long a time. Just stop being a manatee, gee whiz. My personal best of 2,825m came without a single step of running practice some five years ago after a brief stint of calisthenics. Sure, it wasn't lifting but lifting does not degrade athletic performance either. Sitting on your ass all day, however, does.
Oddly enough the recent shooting is a perfect example against what you're claiming. The officer is a relatively fit black guy that goes to the gym but obviously doesn't do his cardio. Dude can't handle 30 seconds of jogging. Look how winded he gets, more people are dying by the second and he's huffing & puffing saying "I'm moving as fast as I can!"
This is exactly the type of dumbass who thinks anaerobic exercise has anything to do with aerobic exercise. No, you need to specifically train cardio or you won't have acceptable stamina when it actually comes down to running for over a minute, especially in gear.
God that shit was infuriating. Totally winded after 30 seconds while more people are being shot.
I forgot you guys drove everywhere. Sitting on your ass all day in a car degrades athletic performance. Who could have thunk it?
Just to add to my point, this anecdote from a guy who only did Starting Strength for a year and went up in weight a little supports my position. If you do a serious program like Ripplebreasts' Starting Strength or one of the 5x5 routines, you'll likely fare just fine. 10:20 onwards, story lasts a couple of minutes.
You took off on a hard sprint didn't you? They wanted you to jog it. Which most can do except the turbofats and even then being winded isn't what gets them. Their knees give out before exhaustion.
>he doesn’t lift AND do cardio

how do I quit smoking, bros? I want to quit but I always end up at a gas station once I'm down to my last few
You are smoking to get rid of the physical symptoms of nicotine addiction, you can have that feeling all the time for free if you can conceptualize it that way.
Switch to a tobacco pipe.
>I always end up at a gas station
Just pay at the pump, bro. Don't go inside. They won't bring them out to you. Drive on.

Unironically start vaping, but do so only that you can effectively taper. Follow this protocol =
Week 1 = continue smoking but with weaker cigarettes. If you already smoke pretty weak ones then skip this step.
Week 2= get a cheap vape with a refillable tank. Use 18 mg fluid.
Week 2 = 12 mg fluid
Week 3 = 6 mg fluid
Week 4 = 3 mg fluid
Week 5 = mix 2/3 3 mg fluid with 1/3 0mg fluid.
Week 6 = mix 1/2 3 mg with 1/2 0 mg
Week 7 = 0mg vaping. Try and do so as little as possible.
Week 8= well done. You are now a none smoker.
If like me you get a really strong desire to smoke when drinking on a night out then get a weak disposable vape for big nights out. It will reduce the likelihood you buckle and buy cigarettes.
Snus is the superior tobacco option. No smoke, no damage to lungs, no spitting. It’s the Nordic man’s tobacco (very popular in Sweden)
Thought about doing more cardio than strength exercise.

>running alot, did half marathon other day
>oodles push-ups
>alot of core
I'm planning on starting kettlebell squats tomorrow. Maybe do a run in the am. I wish I could get over my crippling fear or going to the gym.
Jog or surf a couple of mornings a week when the weather's good. Yoga when it's not.
Lift 3x a week, judo 2x a week, climb or hike most weekends.
I'm definitely fitter than the average guy on the street (bench 2.5plate, 3x10 pullups with +10lbs) but I'm well below where I was 3 years ago which sucks.
>I wish I could get over my crippling fear or going to the gym.
You should. Lifting weights is the best way to build muscle and bone density.
In the meantime there's a lot you can do at home. As well as a kettlebell I'd strongly recommend picking up a doorframe pullup bar.
>Kettlebell squats, pistol squats and box jumps for your lower body
>Handstand pushups for your shoulders (or overhead press and lateral raises if you can pick up a set of adjustable dumbbells)
>Pullups for your back
>Weighted pushups and plyopushups for your chest
Thanks for recommendation but I live in a shitty small apartment that doesn't have a good doorway for pull up bar. I do have one about 2 miles away, I usually run to it.
I just want to maintain a good baseline for when I try out for special forces in 5 years or so.
>tfw realization of going to selection in your mid 30s
Just do it anon, get your membership learn the equipment and walk in that b***h everyday like you own it!

The stair master is punishing me almost every night. I can now sustain it for an hour in zone 2.
>Frick PrepHole
Are they making fun of you /k/opers again?
I ruck 4-6 times a week totaling anywhere from 20 to 60 miles. If I'm not doing that I'm running, I stretch every day. Do some calisthenics. I dont get any training with combat sports, but I would like to just dont have any time shoot on the weekends when I can afford the ammo. I never go to a gym.
I've been pretty hard on my body with fitness since I was a teen. I went from a 125lb cross country runner to a 216lb competitive power lifter over my first couple years of college, and since then I've blown out an ACL playing soccer and torn my rotator cuff rock climbing. I also gained and lost about 20lbs every year since. I just turned 30 and now im mostly just doing higher rep, lower weight type lifting to be nicer to my knee and shoulder, and I do rock climbing as well as a frick ton of mobility work. I drop into the occasional yoga class at my gym too. Feels 100% better to be doing high volume workouts than grinding through a rep pyramid with 95% of my max.
I also run with my dog 3 times a week, but lately its been too hot in texas.
In texas its been heating up.
It took me 15 years of lifting to realize this. To get stronger, do less sets with as much weight as possible, to fail on your last rep on the last set. I see morons doing 10 sets of the same exercise following some routine they found online that's designed for people on steroids, but our pure natty bodies don't work that way, we can't take that much abuse or sustain that much of a recovery. I had always done 5x5 and had good results, but I switched to 3x5 to test my theory. I broke a 7 year long plateau doing less sets, because when you get to that last failure set your muscles are less tired from doing less sets. I came up with the theory because there's 2 lifts I only do 2 sets of, so 2x5. Those lifts have never plateaud. I'm literally doing dips with 3 plates strapped to me x5 and rowing 140lb dumbells x5, while I only weigh 160.
For natties, less is more. That failure set is he only one where your body is tested to adapt to the higher weight. None of the "working sets" are necessary, they won't affect whether or not you can do more weight next week, only the last set so make sure you're not tired for it. I don't even warm up either, I already determined that doesn't help ages ago. The lighter sets are the warmup. 2x5 is literally all you need.
I've seen this gradual shift even outside of the internet that low reps, high weight is the way to go if you aren't juicing. Hard to tell because pure strength training has only started to gain momentum outside of dungyms and powerlifters and zoomers are using SARMs like water and posting on tiktok looking like a fricking tomato
Crossfit parents are getting their kids into Oly Lifting here in the US
Only time will tell
This is true, but 20 rep moderate weight squats did help me lose some really stubborn weight so there's definitely a place for that too.
It's the same with cardio. 5 minutes of sprinting is better than 30 minutes of jogging.
It is verifiably not. If you think you can develop aerobic capacity with low volume you're a fricking idiot.
Sprinting can burn more calories in a shorter time, they can be equivalent depending on the intensity and duration of your training. You can do sprinting + long distance running + weightlifting in the same workout. But I would do the lifting first, don't want to be exhausted working with heavy weights. Could be dangerous or just limit your potential to strength train.
If your goal is just to burn calories then you might as well just walk for 12 hours a day. If your goal is developing fitness in multiple domains you need to actually work to develop each domain... and that means you can't substitite sets of 10 or sprints for aerobic volume.
Yes, and not everyone has the will or desire to develop their strength. Endurance is really the most important in the context of an armed conflict, but strength helps with carrying heavy loads or fighting hand-to-hand. Being overweight or obese is a detriment to anyone in an armed conflict, but fitness standards have been lowered for recruitment reasons it seems.
>burn more calories
The objective isn't to burn calories, it's to run further.
It can be both, just as lifting develops your physical strength but also burns calories
No it is both, however if you think getting shitty mileage is the point of driving, you have problems.
>if you think getting shitty mileage is the point of driving
Not him, but it is more complex than that. A closer comparison would be found if filling a car's gas tank full to the top make the car sluggish and weak.
Being fat is an entirely separate problem.
State your case.
That's what I said, it is both, you are just making vague metaphors and I'm stating the simple fact that running improves your endurance and also burns calories. You are just being contrarian really for reasons of ego.
>The objective isn't to burn calories, it's to run further.
I'd suggest researching "Tabata intervals" - boosting VO2 max can help with distance/endurance performance more than continuous training at long distances, oddly enough. Helps to avoid stressors and injuries, too, but look it up and try for yourself.
>sprinting + long distance running + weightlifting
This is also important for sports and athletics
Stronger, faster, more endurance
Need good sleep and protein
To develop your strength
>Sprinting can burn more calories in a shorter time
The best new science indicates that caloric consumption is relatively flat, not responding to stressor events. Imagine a furnace alight - just going. Your body is burning calories based on your general physical stress level.
And the basic chemical science of anaerobic exercise tells us that sprinting burns more calories than jogging, you can do both in the same workout if you are serious about physical fitness or simply an athlete.
>And the basic chemical science of anaerobic exercise tells us that
I was only pointing at the one detail. Carry on.
I've been lifting for a month or two now and doing the same thing, 3 sets until failure with however much weight so that I do about 8-12 reps. I just tried to gleam as many tips from my gym-going friends. Working well so far.
>8-12 reps
This is shit for strength, if you're going to do a bloatybuilder routine scratch everything I said. Those routines are specifically to bloat the muscles as much as possible by causing a "pump" to expand the veins and sacroppasms of the muscle. You want to strengthen the myofibrils of the muscle and connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, joints) for strength. You'll get size with 5 reps still but you'll likely always look like a fit natty. If you must have the bloat, you'll realize why a lot of dudes resort to fricking their shit up with roids. You can't look like the dudes on magazine covers and fitness forum pictures, what looks unnatural is. Bloatybuilders have body dysmorphia just like trannies, hence why PrepHole calls them roidtrannies.
Ripplebreasts said it best, for size you want to do 10 reps, for strength ideally youd do 1 rep. In the middle of that is 5 reps. I always stick to 3-5 because I'm old now and 1RMs will snap my shit. But 10 will give you size without giving you much of a strength increase. That moron strength (strong myofibrils & connective tissue) comes from working the lower rep ranges and doing sets to failure. My point is that people typically ramp up to their last set to failure, but you fail at higher weight when you're rested rather than already having done 4 sets prior to the failure set. Literally my 2x5 lifts are so far beyond moron strength it's actually funny at this point. Someone my size should not be able to do weighed dips for reps with 3 plates lmao. But I never gave a shit about dips so I only ever did 2 sets. I wasted so much time and spinal disc compression doing all those set for no reason.
Ran a mile in 8 minutes tonight after recovering from the flu, and haven't lifted or meal prepped in 2 months. I feel like an obese piece of shit, anons
>I feel like an obese piece of shit
Just let that shit go. That kind of mindset lures you into the punishment/reward cycle. Just evaluate objectively and move on. There is no shame. You only hurt yourself. Start again today and do not worry about setbacks.
Obesity causes cancer and heart disease, physical fitness is important. You don't have to shit on yourself, but you should take care of yourself. For your health.
>physical fitness is important
That is why one needs to let that shit ride. It is better to just get back at it rather than wallow in depression over mistakes already made. There is no going back to undo the past and there is no making up for lost time. Just start again. Also, I disagree with -
>Obesity causes cancer and heart disease
The lifestyle that causes obesity causes these symptoms. Call it splitting hairs if you will, but a clear aim directly at the problem serves one better than aiming at corollaries. Consider that liposuction can reverse obesity but it cannot heal the other problems.
I am always getting stronger, lifting weights. But the most important muscle is your heart, so I also do running. For endurance and for my heart health. Need to eat extra protein to get stronger, like meat or whey.
Traditional foods are an easy way to ensure you get all your nutrients. Also live with a woman who was taught how to cook traditional recipes from the old country by her momma.
Old as frick but swin, surf and run
It doesnt matter how healthy I am. I am not a LARPer, guns are just a hobby to me.
Reverse crunches are awesome. Way better than normal ones, especially if you got big legs and/or weights you can strap to them. Also if you get the chance to use a torque fitness Tank do it. If you have a plate carrier wear it while working out and make sure the plates are in. Steel is great for this and the armor snobs who claim it's not can suck my wiener. Adds weight and restricts breathing making it harder. You'll get used to exerting yourself with your plates on meaning in the unlikely event you ever have to fight with them on that will be easier. Cycling is great for getting good strong legs and building endurance.
PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN. You can work out all day but if you're not putting in the building supplies nothing will get built. Get yourself a good diet but make sure you're getting plenty of protein. Personally I go for Darigold Fit and Fairlife's Core Power Elite, both in chocolate and both taste great.
Today I did
4xf pullups
4x10 barbell rows
4x10 wide grip lat pulldowns
4x10 lat pushdowns
:^)
If you're doing all this then you're pretty much wasting your time. You don't need to use 4 different exercises to hit what are mostly the same muscle groups, and you aren't going hard enough if you're doing 16 sets like that in one day. 4 sets of rows + 4 sets of pullups 2-3x a week is going to get you more out of your workouts than doing what you listed.

Good fricking morning Goddammit, I'm Ian Piana here on another epsiode of forgotten workouts. Today we're taking a look at lying dumbell pullovers.
Type 1 diabetic, eating well enough to keep my A1c under 6.4. But I also just.. eat spinach by the fricking handful like I'm a rabbit. I used to cycle. But I want to do something more physical. Wondering if boxing will help.
good enough for prison fights, good enough for everyday life:
No weights required, so it'll work for you poorgays but you can 100% intergrade them into your workout routine.
he also teaches you how to make prison wine and moonshine in another video.
I do 120 pushups every morning after getting up.
I run 5 kilometers every other day before going to sleep. The days inbetween I do 3x2 minutes each of planking, side planking and backwards planking before going to sleep.
I also don't eat sugar or highly processed food.
I think I am reasonably fit, though I probably should do more.

Never serves I…
You mean the group that keeps lowering and lowering their fitness standards?
Running 2-3x weekly. Usually just for 20-25 minutes with another longer one at the weekend (45-60 min).
BJJ or kickboxing 2x weekly.
Lift 3x weekly. Heavy compound lifts with core, push ups & pulls ups for accessories.
Hike/bouldering/swimming 1x on weekends.
