Are you healthy and in shape? Or just a walking heart attack?

[pluck]

It's better to have conditioning than be bulked up.
I've lifted since I was a teenager. It is much harder to gain and HOLD ON to muscle than it is to stay in decent cardio shape. Also sucking wind after a few hard sprints is much harder than any lactic acid burn.

Being in good cario shape is way more practical. Most lifters don't get to use their strength/muscles at all outside helping a buddy move their apartment once a year. The only people that dig the huge muscle look, are other men and disgusting women.

I always think of it in the worst case scenario of like 1 in 1,000,000 chance happening. If for whatever reason I got stranded in the middle of nowhere what's going to come into play more...the fact you have a 2,000 total in bench/squat/dead or the fact you can run a sub 6 minute mile? ...obviously the cardio aspect.

True.  At 293 I was in the best cardio shape ever.  I just couldn't get tired.  When I think about all the shit I did back then today I just can't feel it.  I mean I barely get up stairs now. Back then I would go up stairs three at a time.  Ride my bike miles and miles up steep hill without quiting.  I was never home cause I was out training or doing something physical.  I really want to get back there

[epic_alien]

I remember in high school winning my last wrestling match ever. WHen the ref raised my hand, all I could think of was that I'll never be in this good of shape ever again.

I joined LA Boxing 7 weeks ago and I'm getting back there as far as cardio goes...it's starting to suck less every week.

[dj181]

I must say that Im rather impressed with all of those who can run a sub 6 min mile, that an indication of a rather outstanding level of fitness. I would say anyone who could run a mile in less than 7 min and 30 sec is a more resonable standard.

[Devon97]

That's awesome for you then. That's very, very uncommon.

 Most guys don't have the genetics for that. When they push themselves to 260 with huge arms they have to do heavy bulking for years and years and limit cardio. And then if they decide to get in shape and do lots of cardio later, they lose a lot of mass.

 Of course if you use lots of hormones this changes the whole game though.

I'm guessing you have never heard of Dante, the creator of DC training. !?!?

His life as well as the life of his supplicates revolve around bulking up with as much mass as possible at all costs possible! He aspires to bee tippin the scales at 300 lbs drugged to the gills and still doing early AM cardio! Cus he says that how you gain mass! BOOOOOM!

[Palpatine Q]

It's all about being inbetween.

 Being muscular and cut with some decent mass. Yet also being flexible, athletic and conditioned for cardio.

maybe someday you will achieve that....that sure isn't you now

dante is a clown.

Dante invented Chin-ups and the Deltoid.....also he was the first person to count to 12 reps instead of 10

he basically re-edited mike mentzers work and called it doggcrapp. 

[Palpatine Q]

LOL...true. Does he still sell protein to idiots who think they need 600 grams of custom blended protein powder a day?

[Fatpanda]

i believe so 

theres even a few on here with discount codes in their sig.

haha true , tbombz has his code in his sig lol

Shipp- where do you live?

[brent2741]

Can you run a mile in 6 minutes or less?

 Can you hike up a 3000 foot mountain?

 Can you bicycle 60 miles in one day?

 Can you touch your toes without bending your knees?

 Can you do a handstand?

 Can you play basketball for a solid hour?

 Or are you just a permabulker walking around like an elephant who can't do shit? 
 
 Personally I would rather be able to do all of these things and be 170 pounds, than be a 260 pound ogre who can't do any of these things.

 Some people here seem to think that being "in shape" is directly related to how hyyyooooge your arms are bro! Well, that's just not true. Sorry fat boy.

doesnt really sound like you have a choice... twink

[newmom]

I have to back peddal one of my answers..NO I CANNOT run a 6 min mile. I tried today but I couldnt do it..did it 7 and half minutes but there is no way I can do it in 6. Im only 5ft3 and short legs.

LOL. How long could your legs be at that height?  

[newmom]

thank you, and I run at least 5 miles a day. I do 5k's in 25-26  minutes so let me tell ya, that test of 6minute mile kicked my butt

[newmom]

LOL. How long could your legs be at that height?  

EXACTLYYYYYY lol

[Dreadlifter]

Shipsekki, you don't have to be 170lbs to do all that shit.

I'm not even gonna pretend i can run a 6 minute mile, but i can do all the rest and i'm 232.

I do agree with you on unfit permabulkers though. Can't be neglecting the old heart and lung health for the sake of filling out an XXXL shirt.

[tbombz]

i believe so

i get free protein off that shit son!! 8lbs of it.

everybody who wants some hella bomb ass protein at dirt cheap prices... like.. 9 bucks a pound for the best whey isolate available with free flavoring of your choice.... and custom mixes with whatever the hell you want in it for hella cheap too...   

if you like the convenience of being able to drink a meal.. whether your at work, school, or just out and about but dont feel like eating anything with calories but still wanna get yoru basic protien needs met...  then trueprotein is the fucking place to do it

and use my code too cuz i get free protein 

[dj181]

Thanks for the honest answer newmom Maybe I was trying to "call u out" on the 6 min mile thing, but I guess that now u realize how tough it is to run a actual 6 min mile P.S  I think that I would be quite lucky to break an 8 min mile at the moment

[El Diablo Blanco]

Who the fuck wants to bike for 60 miles?  I get too tired and annoyed driving that distance.

[newmom]

Oh gosh I didn't take it as calling  me out. I did my running this am. When I went to the gym again, I did my stairclimber workout. I said let me do a mile run in 6 minutes. UM that didn't happen at all. I run 6 days a week and feel I'm pretty proficient in the running department. I think it is easier for leaner tall men to run that though. There was a man next to me, I'd say at least 5 ft 10 and I looked over at his speed and it was 8.5 without batting an eye

[Mr Nobody]

I walk to my mailbox three times a week its on a slight incline, maybe 25 yards out.
