did you know that kettle bell burns 20 calories per minute, requires shorter time to achieve both cardio and physical fitness compared with regular running and being a gymfag? on top of that you don't need an elaborate gym set up (literally just a kettle bell).
in fact it is so fucking effective that
>In 1981, recognizing the value of kettlebells for public health, the Soviet government even mandated kettlebell training for all workers, viewing it as an efficient way to improve the fitness and productivity of the labor force. By this decree, factory workers and office clerks alike found themselves swinging kettlebells as part of state-sponsored exercise breaks – a clear sign of how culturally embedded the practice had become.

The secret to fitness are that metal weights are overrated. Use sandbags with no handles at various weights. We aren't designed to lift dense metals with convenient handles.

And the actual biggest redpill is that sitting is good for you, just not in chairs/stools. You should be grounded so you can switch into different positions.

I worked landscaping for 5 years straight and it made me incredibly strong. Think 10 hours a day doing nothing but pushing, pulling, lifting heavy objects, not to mention digging which is the best thing in the world for developing strength. My grip strength is crazy.

Thrusters with 20 kg kettlebells is the best workout to develop overall strength. I just do this, plus push ups, dips, pulls ups and rows on rings and basically your workout is complete. Put some burpees for cardio and you are doing more than a gymfag with spending a fraction of the price and using a tenth of the space

> kettle bell burns 20 calories per minute
How can they do this on their own? Independent of their weight? Independent of the work done with them?
This sentence makes no sense. Also note that 20 calories of work in a minute will exhaust you rapidly as it requires ~350 to 400W of power to burn them.

The legs btw are the largest muscle group of a human body and allow to burn more energy over any period of time than is possible with the arms.

"Fitness" is all a larp and none of this shit makes you healthy, the natural human "exercise" routine is 1-2 hours per day of extremely light activity - walking mostly.
That's why if you look at places where they live a long time it's some relaxing place by the beach with plenty of sunlight and seafood where people live a quiet life, because they don't stress themselves, don't work, and just sit listening to the ocean and socializing.
>>527982254
You actually primarily lift with your ass as stabilizing muscles.
>>
>>527981986
> ~350 to 400W
I correct myself: I calculated 332W for 20 calories per minute. Still too much power for 99.9% of people to sustain for longer than few minutes.

What you will lose this way is mostly just water, also precious muscle mass because without energy the muscle starts to eat itself, and just very little fat unless your metabolism is already well trained to burn it. Do cardio at low intensity for several hours every day and you will actually lose fat.

The biggest factor is focusing on form. These laborers that blow put their backs and joints don't put any thought into how their body is moving. I have a homestead that I work and just by focusing on form all of these backbreaking tasks became a better workout than any time I spent in a gym. My diet also mainly consists of pork, beef, eggs, and dairy which I'm sure helps a lot.

Obviously he was biased but it always stuck with me.

You can build strength by lifting weights far below your 1rm. 5/3/1 is a great program that has you lifting below your potential, but increasing weight every week. This gives you joints, connective tissue, and bones time to adjust. If you're just focusing on muscle mass you build muscle faster than your bodies capacity to handle your strength.

It's the cheapest solution of course but not comfy or efficient. They often have wide soft saddles that rub and give you a sore ass.
I prefer picrel (have two of them, one here and one in my vacation home) with the extra heavy flywheel for "road feel" and intervals and a real (even the cheapest steel frame will do) race bike for maximum ergonomics with regard to saddle choice, seating position, handlebar, crank length, pedals and power transmission.
>>
>>527983655
To be fair, the Greeks had that idea thousands of years before Hitler. The Greek army relied on the hoplite who had to maintain an extreme level of fitness to fight efficiently in his armor - and that was just the regular hoplite, not the Spartans, who went to a whole different level. I've seen it theorized that the Greeks at Marathon may have sprinted half a mile to the beach to surprise the Persians - a feat considered by many today to be impossible given the weight of the armor, shields and spears the hoplites used.

But it is often seen that the training level of the average citizen is usually adjusted to what's useful for the ruling class - when England relied on the yeoman military training was intense and constant, in the 90s/00s when we expected to only use elite "operators" from then on military training slackened considerably.

A buddy of mine looks like he's put on 100lbs in the last two years alone; he's fat as fuck now and can't do half the shit he used to. They'll blame the job for their body breaking down, but come the fuck on. Not destroying your health with garbage food, and actually wearing a little bit of protective equipment once in a while goes a long long way.

They just do stupid shit in general that obviously is bad for their bodies. Shit like using angle grinders without a mask, goggles or ear plugs is common because people just don't take the health impact seriously. Apply the same logic to their diets and everything else and yeah their bodies are destroyed by 40.

Second biggest, and far more profitable than #1.
ISOMETRICS.
They build muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, neural control, can be used to recover from most injuries, and are the method of choice of old time strongmen and kung fu pandas.
They are boring as hell, but far and away the best form of exercise

Soviets were the first to turn functional strength exercises w/progressive overload into documented studied fitness regime. But like everything, even if couched in research papers and university studies, they distilled it down to a meme regiment on par with any other “get fit” meme program that’s been debooonked.
Dolph Lungren mogs Christopher Langen in IQ and trains for longevity these days and is all a bags and compound lift and superset guy.
