Hey X FIT BRO,

What vehicles do you drive? Just a wild guess, but I could picture you in a Hummer.

The Hummer used to be a decent car, but I didn't really like the toned down look of the consumer vehicles compared to the military models.

I'm a pickup guy, correctly on a RAM (V8). Gas is cheap, after all.

You won't see me in a Prius or Tesla, ever. Engines need to have great sound.

Are you the retard who has the loudest Harley in the galaxy and reminds everyone every time he turns the corner?

Arnold did some sprint repeats in the sand in Venice, CA, but that's about it. He always believed that he would train his CV system enough by lifting weights for 5 hours per day. He was right.

The best cardio is the bench press

Diet dominates exercise when it comes to weight loss.

Which is too bad, because it's a lot easier to get motivated to work out for an hour a day than it is to stay motivated 24/7 to maintain diet discipline.

Exactly

What is cardio? You can jog easily for an hour and not see any significant results in terms of weight/fat loss. But do 10-12 miles a day at a hard effort and you soon won't be carrying any spare tyres around with you. I have yet to see any overweight serious distance runners - ie, those who want to compete, get faster, beat more people, train hard etc.

Most people on here aren't running for general fitness, we're running to be be better runners on race day.

All-time GOAT's MJ, Ali, W.Payton all RAN & were in fantastic CARDIO shape from CARDIO work. Gretzky was a CARDIO animal. MMA GOAT Bones Jones beat his toughest 2 opponents (Gust, DC) through late rounds CARDIO. Months away from his fight, Bones stopped lifting & focused on CARDIO.

Anyway, zero question that running keeps me trim & my body fat low. Some ppl consider slow walking cardio- nope. That does nothing. Just like 12 oz curls (even w/o drinking) does nothing.

Peter Snell has stated that the optimal aerobic training speed is around 7 minutes per mile. If you go slower than that, its no wonder you fail to lose weight.

Have you seen photos of a, say, post-2000 shirtless Arnold? In case not:
