is lifting weights the easiest form of exercise? except maybe machines
>>77311131If using machines to lift weights isnt weight lifting then what is it?
Lifting manmade metal shaped in circles up and down for no reason
>>77311132using a machine and a system of pulleys to move a weight that you don't touch? forklifting is not lifting weights either
>>77311139you make it sound strangely erotic...
>>77311140I didnt realize operating a forklift required physical strength of the operator. Most curious.
>>77311143operating a strength machine requires strength, but it doesn't require lifting weights
>>77311151You dont think weight lifting machines have weights attatched to them?
>>77311140using a metal bar and a range of motion to move a weight that you don't touch? weightlifting is not lifting weights either
>>77311151Are you autistic?
>>77311131>is lifting weights the easiest form of exercise?no, it's gymnastics
>>77311291jeets are walking punchlines.
>>77311156so do forklifts?
>>77311181exactly, that's why you don't count the bar

>>77311131It's the easiest to get wrong and the hardest to get right.
>>77311354What's crazier to me is arc welding without eye protection.
>>77311336Nigga i aint using chopsticks
>>77311413People are dumb. I worked with a guy who didn't where a mask or use water when cutting concrete and ended up in the hospital for almost a week.
>>77311131i believe so
>>77311531I despise those people. They make it worse for everyone because then the bosses assume we’ll just run into stupid tasks without PPE or any forethought
>>77313090Feel like it's a widespread cultural problem across a lot of trades. Never use this term but genuine toxic masculinity.
This has been one of the worse threads in a while
>>77313617Most threads look similar or worse at any given time. Almost all threads are useless unless you are here to discuss social media tier bs
>>77311131>already did cardioWhy would I spend more effort than just liftig?
>>77313672completely trueI started doing hill sprints recentlyFor one, now my knees are hurtingFor two, I could already sprint up the hill at the start. My cardio was perfectly fine. All I'm chasing now are marginal improvements.Lifting provides plenty of basic cardio by itself
>>77313980>now my knees are hurting>Lifting provides plenty of basic cardio by itselfbut apparently it doesn't make athletic at all, at least uphill
>>77314143?I think my knees hurt from pounding on the concrete
>>77311291Crazy izzat
>>77311531What do you use water for?
>>77311131Running is unironically the easiest form of exercise because you can make gains without pushing yourself hard. Getting more distance per week will improve your endurance and pace even if they're low intensity runs. Weight training requires pushing yourself to discomfort to get anywhere. You cannot make significant strength or mass gains with low intensity weight training.
>>77315829There is either an attatchment on the saw or a laborer next to you pouring water on the cut so that concrete dust does not fly in the air. Toxic and osha violation. I think with enough over time silica can actually calcify your lungs.
>>77315875running is high impact on joints and wrecks overweight/obese people looking to lose weight. easiest exercise is stationary fitness cycling.
>>77313980>Lifting provides plenty of basic cardio by itself
>>77313980In my experience my joints only hirt from being too high impact on the way down
>>77316071If I was perfectly capable of sprinting up a hill numerous times on day one, was my cardio bad?
>>77316349Could be, but I don't know what you consider sprinting, or how steep the hill was or how long the route was. Bottom line, can you do a 5k in under 30 minutes? This wouldn't be very fast at all, it's not a high bar, but for sure if you cannot do this there's no way you can be considered fit in a cardio sense.
