I used to do 1-2 hours of cardio after a 1-2 hour workout, 3 days a week 52 weeks a year. As long as I did it back to back its not a big deal, as the amount you strain your muscles isn't important as long as you eat well and have adequate healing time

@Zorost how much did you deadlift

Yes, running down hill is very bad for your knees

No idea

mmm

so you weren't strength training?

I know how many plates I had on, and put htat many plates on until I felt I could put more plates on

I don't lift to impress other men with numbers

how many plates did you have on

2834973982

My favorite Youtuber does my PR for his thrid from last warm up set when he deadlifts

@Caerulus_Rex yeah steroids exist I know

but you have to admit

I could do 30 pullups while weighing about 270, and play a half of rugby as a prop w/o having a heart attack

that telling a total lifting novice that he should run and also lift

is bad advice

he should focus on one

and not put himself in jeapordy

or howevery ou spell it

Depends on what his goals are

under the supervision of a strength and conditioning coach that knows what he is doing, or if you have enough agency to read books yourself, a novice can both lift and run

In Afghanistan I did all of the following simultaneously:

well Slug is lifting by himself

Do hard stuff, your body hardens to adapt to it.

and again, we are talking about a novice

I dont care how awesome you are

Increased my Squat, Dead Lift and Press PRs

if slug gets injured he will never be able to lift to his max ever in his entire life

Reduced my body fat %

holy shit

Reduced my 40 time

lol

I dont care
don't tell slug he can do backflips 10x10 before doing deadlift PR

it's dangerous

The only person I know of that has a longer list of sports injuries than me is professional wrestler mick foley

he should juggle chainsaws while lifting. Or google this shit himself rather than depend on a bunch of dumbasses on the interest

I added to my squat PR the other day, 3 months after my knee being so fucked up I couldn't squat 95 lbs without intolerable pain

@Caerulus_Rex then why are you giving advice if you have destroyed your body

think of how much stronger you might have been if you hadnt injured yourself

Because I destroyed my body playing rugby and being a professional gun fighter

I'm sure you're stronger than me

I'm certain you're awesome

but learn from your mistakes

and tell Slug good advice

pain is weakness leaving the body

I didn't destroy my body in the gym

and not the shit you did that injured yourself

@Zorost not if you rip your ACL it isnt

I destroyed it on SEC Rugby pitches, Iraq, and Afghanistan

I'm amazed

im so impressed

i wish you could see the admiration on my face

we are giving advice to slug

don't tell him to run downhill every single day for hours

it's bad advice

The shit I did in the gym is probably the only reason it's not fucked up even worse from those things

it hurts his knees

best advice: look it up yourself, don't ask some guy on the internet to ask some other guys on the internet

Don't run down hill

@Zorost very true

@Caerulus_Rex you literally told him to run down hill until I told you it was stupid

At no point did I endorse running down hill

maybe rex lives on top of a mountain, and has to run downhill a lot

I said you were wrong immediately after you said you cant lose weight and get stronger at the same time

I have never endorsed running down hill

I used to sprint up stairs to build explosiveness, but also jogged slowly down.

I can barely walk down hill

@Caerulus_Rex you told him to run bleachers

which is running downhill

you ponce

only 1/2 the time

holy shit

maybe if you tack side to side like a sailing ship

another pro-tip: bust a nut every day to keep your T levels up

lol

alright
I admit
it is theoretically possible to gain weight while doing cardio

but it is also theoretically possible to achieve flight using a plane powered entirely by slugs running in a hampster wheel

it is possible

but it's retarded and you shouldn't try it

but switch hands or you risk destroying your symmetry

You're a fucking 21 year old engineering PhD student and you have so little common sense you have to be explicitly told that you're only supposed to run when you're going up the bleachers?

is he also asian? Cuz that would make sense

if he uses the stairmaster it's 100% running upstairs with no breaks and no chance of falling down

if I was exhausted and walked down stairs I know I'd twist an ankle

is some chance of falling down

Wtf, 4chan has pop up ads now

especially if an asian PhD student with no common sense

You jog over to the stairs and walk back down to the bottom.

There, you have been explicitly told how running bleachers works

Actually, thats probably inadequate

I quit doing 5x5 today after doing it for 4 years because I was afraid of injuring my joints
I switched to a lower weight 8x5 because it's not as much tension and it wil strengthen my ligaments

I intend to lift for another 25 years or more

I am playing the long game

don't forget to turn around when you reach the top, so you don't walk backwards down the steps

which I encourage slug to do too

injuring yourself will destroy your ultimate strength

he should mitigate risk

We can agree on that. Avoiding injury should be #1. Don't fuck around with joints

And also, don't forget to use the hand rail

and avoid walking down concrete spikes while exhausted
