HEY MAN, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW MY CNS IS SUPPOSED TO RECOVER WHEN IM DOING FUCKING CARDIO DAILY SHIT HEAD

YEAH IM SURE THAT WILL NOT IN ANY WAY IMPACT MY LEG DAY RECOVERY, AT ALL.

If your main goal is hypertrophy you should not divide your body's energy towards cardio also.

Your CNS isn't that fragile, you glass-soul. For goodness' sake, anon. Your body is meant to be in constant motion, and not only do you go to the gym for a couple hours a week thinking that somehow makes you fit while otherwise being completely sedentary, you also sit there gnashing your teeth and biting your fingers about destroying your "recovery" because of moving too much. Holy shit, what a fag.
>>74756473
Absolutely wrong. Cardio leads to greater capilarization of the muscles, it literally infuses them with more blood. The cardiovascular system is precisely the thing that leads to recovery. It's what suplies your muscles with the nutrients and oxygen it needs. Even someone who ONLY cares about muscle to do exclusion of all else (which is a degenerate and vicious desire in any case) should still do some cardio because it plainly helps with muscle growth, both within a session and after it.

You might not want to believe it, but you are not training hard enough in ANY area to be worried that one is killing the gains of the other. Are you strength training for comps? If not, you don't have to worry about shit.
Just sleep enough and eat enough and you'll be able to recover just fine from both activities, sport.

>I think cardio not killing gains is a big fucking psyop
So how do you explain athletes training 6 days a week plus strength and conditioning not losing gains? AthleteX isn't an athlete btw.

Only way cardio kills gains would be if you do cardio before lifting, and do so much that you don't have enough energy left to lift enough. And if you do that, you're retarded and you deserve what you get.

Do 45 minutes of steady state cardio in the morning first thing, a few hours later lift. Easy

You know what really kills gains? Getting winded after walking up a stair case because the only exercise you get is picking something up 3-5 times and putting it back down. Humans are meant to move, to run. Your body breaks down if it doesn't get used and running/jogging get the blood flowing to every muscle in the body and give your lungs a better workout than bench pressing.

Genuinely such a cucked mindset. Literally since the very inception of the art of bodybuilding, practicioners would train constantly. Old time strongmen would often train multiple times a day, first for general strength and second practicing their routines. And many of them engaged in other, very taxing, sports. Hackenschmidt was a world champion wrestler, dude. All those Silver Era blokes doing full body three times a week were still out on muscle beech doing handstands and 1000 rep core sessions. Of course you get more the more you give it. The Arthur Jones and his bullshit gimmick came along. Mentzer simply hated lifting and recovery is a total meme. 99% of lifters aren't "overtraining", they're chronically undertraining. Your body is capable of way more than you think it is.

I hate excercise science. I am a magic-based lifter. Don't compare me with those people. I don't know why you're so insistant on this. I am telling you that you're more capable than you think. You should WANT this to be true. Check out Alec Blenis brother.

>do cardio
>cardio is activating AMPK pathway
>AMPK pathway is directly antagonistic to the mTORc1 pathway
>temporarily shuts it off while you're activating AMPK
not a problem if you do just a little bit, but if you're putting in hours a week, that's time spent that could be used building muscle instead. The difference in those few hours could be the difference between making some small amounts of progress and zero progress at all. If you're running a whole shitload, it will actively kill your gains and you'll become smaller and weaker as a result. It's literally as simple as that. It's also not needed at all, since lifting weights at max effort maximally stimulates your AMPK pathway and therefore grants you all of the generally transferable factors of "cardio" anyway. It's literally a complete waste of fucking time to get on a treadmill or go run on a track except for the sake of getting better at running on a treadmill or on a track. Thanks be to James Steele and God

It's true man. I used to have a resting blood pressure of around 150/110 at a heart rate of 100-110. Have never done a single "cardio" sessionand also never will, just lifted weights. Resting blood pressure is now around 100/60 and a dead on heart rate of 73

>Absolutely wrong. Cardio leads to greater capilarization of the muscles
Activating the AMPK pathway and having high shearing stress on the vessels increases cappilerization. You get the same AMPK activation from lifting that you do from running as long as you go to failure. At the time that your anaerobic capacity is maxed out, your aerobic system is also being maxed out, rate limited only by the speed at which they can clear out metabolites. If you have metabolites stacked up and ready to process, which you will have once you hit muscle failure, then you are maxing out your aerobic system and it will adapt.

You also get a lot more shearing stress on the vessels due to venous return being much greater during lifting. Venous return is extremely minimal while running. Cappilerization is also a localized phenomenon in addition to a systemic one. Increasing the cappilaries in your legs from just running won't increase the cappilaries elsewhere, except for a small amount. Specific local changes are far greater. You don't get garden hoses in your forearms from running

Anyone that disagrees just doesn't want to lift (homos)

>>
>>74756455
dude what are you even seething about. you know you can just test it out for a month and see what happens, right?

20-30 minutes of low intensity cardio a few times a week is enough if you want a healthy heart. it won't impact your lifting at all as long as you eat a little extra to make up for the calories burnt.

in my experience it actually noticeably improved my lifting. I recover quicker between sets and stuff like heavy high rep squats don't gas me out like they used to.

DYELs epistemologically cannot tell something actually true about training. Knowledge of training exists in a world outside of words, it is experiential, it must be lived through. Never, ever, listen to DYELs, especially not excercise scientists.
>>
>>74758054
>Because he has dedicated his career to answering very specific questions about exercise
That depends on if he's actually credible or a kook. There's lots of so called scientists that spew falsehoods for the sake of selling courses/books or get paid in other ways. That happens in all fields, however there's one pretty consistent trend here: Kooks often have degrees in different or remotely adjacent fields and make claims on a field they did not study.
And in the case of exercise science it's pretty easy to tell, because well if they're dyels they never remotely practiced what they preached and also schools and universities have exercise programs that are often mandatory. And for good reason as the lowest academic position is a grade school gym teacher, who have to have a base level of fitness to not ruin the kids bodes.

You can't judge the quality of information based on someone's physique alone. Genetics play a gigantic component in someone's ability to build muscle and everyone's view on what they think is possible for everyone is heavily skewed in the fitness space because they are constantly only looking at the people that have the best ability to build muscle. You're always seeing the top 1% of people on social media. People that aren't at that top 1% don't get any views at all. It's extremely clear that there is a huge variety in muscle building capability. Some poor bastards are so bad at building muscle that at the end of a study that has them training in exactly the same way that broscience would have them train, they would lose muscle by the end of the study. Most people get modest results of somewhere between 1%-3% growth per week while they're still beginners and intermediates. If you're small as a beginner and you're making 1% growth per week to start, and then it slowly tapers off as you become more advanced, you're just not going to be big. Their job isn't to be big. Their job is to do research. This is like saying you can't trust the weapons developed at Lockheed Martin because, "They're just fuckin' egghead's bro. What do they know about fighter jets? They're not even fighter pilots dude. What do they even know about weapons and war?" It's their job to know how to build the weapons, not to use them in combat. Saying you should ignore a scientists data because they're a dyel is beyond fucking retarded and I can't believe it's still such a common thing for fitizens to say. This board prides itself in being completely fucking retarded as much and as often as possible

>>74762559
I shall ignore your pessimist drivel about that ever-haunting spectre of "genetics", which is in any case unknowable until the impossible goal is reached of dedicating your entire life and all its years to doing everything possible to grow, since it does not address the crux of the issue at hand. Training is an artform, not a science. Hypetrophy is influenced by such a wide array of factors that it can simply never be reduced down to a repeatable scientific formula. It is inherently a personal journey of self-discovery. This is glossing over the glaring issue that excercise science is probably the least funded and least rigourous of all scientific disciplines and is plagued by horrendous issues with how their studies are conducted. Now, the aircraft engineer is engaging in a rather predictable system of aerodynamics aided by the use of computer calculations to produce a solid machine, incapable of biological adaptation. He is perfectly adept at what he does, which is produce schematics for welders and builders to follow. This is simply not comparable. I do not expect to learn how to paint great works, or play sublime music, by listening to a teacher who knows nothing of either discipline and merely regurgitates theory. There is no point is listening to an individual who either does not care, or does not have what it takes, to achieve at least a respectable physique, if he is to teach others how to do the same.
