I don't know I am kind of hearing a back handed insult here. As Wes just attested a single exercise for 100 reps can be a painfully intense workout. I do not believe you need to exercise for a certain amount of time or do a particular number of exercises to qualify as hard work. WTF you choose do between your sets also has fuck all to do with anything. If you are focused during your set you can get an intense hard workout without thousands of sets reps and hours of cardio. Sometimes it isn't about working hard it is about working smart and figuring out what your body responds to if conventional wisdom says do one thing and you have been doing it and it doesn't work for you try something else. I think it is best to do some high rep, some low rep, some single exercise, some multi exercise, some compound, some isolation, some free some machine and yes even some walking cardio for digestion although lifting is your real cardio try to get a little bit of it all just like food.
Not at all - training is not BB asthetics or nothing for everyone. Some just want a look - just go to the gram and yikes pathetic.
Many have different reasons for training far beyond just looking a certain way day to day.
For some - they train for the look. Others train for other reasons and the look is a side benefit. Its a completely different mentality and approach to this.
I've done both. For myself, training is a mental endeavor to balance off life stress, etc. I'm not going for a look or to impress anyone but myself, not in look, but performance and self assessment overall. Can I do 50 PU no stop? Can I do 10 pull ups? Can I bang out 225 on bench x 10 like nothing? Can I go go go go for an hour or two with no rest? Can I hang in there with both the strong power dudes and the cardio bunnies same time?
Just trying to be best version of self overall possible with what time have at this. Going to be 47 in a month - and still trying my best and still exploring different ways to get there.
When training is life, you always believe the best is still to come. It probably is not, but that does not mean you stop seeking it.
