>be me fat no cardio fuck>can barely get up steps without dying(live on the 8th floor)>3 weeks of 1 1.5hour muay thai session a week>lift dies right as I get back from leg day>walk up 8th floors in less then a minute and barely breathing heavy by the endHow is that possible? 3 weeks of strength training would barely lead to any improvement at all.
one is more important to our survival and evolution as humans than the other
>>76661628>evolutionspeculative pseudo science bullshit term used to mask ignorance and elevate the speakers own personal broscience bias to semi-authoritative levelsI'm ignoring your post
>>76661628Yeah but the difference in rates of improvement is crazy, added up just 4.5 hours of cardio over 3 weeks improved my cardio by a lot, but 4.5 hours of weighlifting ain't shit
>>76661672Because cardio doesn’t require your body to rebuild nearly as much tissue, it just has to repair your heart and grow more mitochondria and capillaries.
>>76661658People who dont believe or understand evolution are worse than flat earthers
I would suggest that our modern lifestyle has made it possible to live while doing almost no cardio at all, while most people build a small base of muscle just by existing. Strength gains come more slowly because you're already "strong" from just picking up your groceries once a week and wiping your ass. Cardio gains come quickly because your cardio conditioning was so so so bad. They're also not really comparable, as you'll pretty quickly hit a max cardio state where you just don't need to pump blood better, and can do it for as long as your body has energy available.
>>76661615You might have better genetics for cardio than lifting. When I started running I got to 90th percentile times way quicker than I got to 90th percentile lifts despite putting much more effort into lifting. I wrestled when I was in high school, and my teammates and I all did the same training. Some kids gained strength easily, some gained cardio easily, some gained both, and some gained none, so genetics are powerful
>>76661767I mean maybe? I have suprisingly good cardio for someone my size while my strength is about average I think.I'm 182cm 143kg my lifts are 85/115/145/190kg after 2 years which is pretty mediocre I think, but I can keep up with the muay thai class pretty well while there are 60kg guys leaving mid training to throw up.
>>76661779>182cm 143kg my lifts are 85/115/145/190kg after 2 years which is pretty mediocre I thinkNah that's pretty aight.>but I can keep up with the muay thai class pretty well while there are 60kg guys leaving mid training to throw upIf it's a muay thai class that's anywhere near legit then a 143kg morbidly obese guy keeping up with normal sized people is pretty impressive yeah, kind of scary actually.
>>76661779I have a similar experience for BJJ. I lifted for years and got decently strong, but there were still plenty of people at my gym stronger than me. I started doing a couple cardio sessions a week and within a year I could put a pace on people had had people commenting about my good cardio. I would get outmuscled by some bulky dad who powerlifts in his garage but if I could survive the first couple minutes of a roll then I would win because they gas out and I don't
>>76661615Improving endothelial function doesn't cost the body much in the way of resources. If anything it makes it more efficient so things tend to lean that way.
>>76661796Well there's nobody physically stronger then me at the muay thai place so that's nice, cause if they try to fuck with me in sparring I can just go for trades and they tend to back off.

>>76661957Life existed and evolved in sea for billions of years, it took like forever for them to crawl out.Life on land is shit and requires bringing water storage with you just to stay alive, if god designed you, he wasn't very smart, he forgot to even give you a brain.
