there's no problem with easing people into weightlifting/gym
if you are young the average heart rate maximum 220. 135 heartrate is about 60%
most people can't even go to the gym twice a week let alone do cario another 2/3 times a week
better to ease in than get demoralized
if you can't get to the gym then a alternative is easy
Dynamic tension
of course what you're saying could be done with someone who dedicated more time to the gym
body weight with a gradual increase added weights in a backpack
again a gym isn't needed. but free weights are the easiest to use
where have you found that running 3 miles 2 or 3 times a week helps recovery?
but when you have a harder time accessing weights you will need to use another method or a hybrid
running 3 miles a session is a goal to reach. when you are running you should be training by your heartrate and time.
but dude
if you keep doing this you will gradually increase your speed
reaching your goal of 3 miles in 25 minutes which is slow
unless there's a powerlifter who says that he did that so he was able to Deadlift 800lbs then that's just bro science
what you are saying is bro science
kek
what is I am talking about is clear physiological facts
show me a powerlifter who did that and I'll believe you
it is bro science until people actually achieve real goals doing it
i weigh literally 255 right not I am currently at 18% body fat.
i do this method only
science
is real
But again right now I'm interested in strength. So im doing what powerlifters do.
How much can you squat and Deadlift?
do you not understand what being 255 and 18% bodyfat means when it comes to strength?
i also have the ability to run
most powerlifters are fairly slow they may be quick in explosion but top speed is slow
how much can you squat?
I don't ever do a max rep squat so i can't tell you my max. but right now I squat 555 lbs for my workout.
my goal is 800
800 for workouts not max
That's pretty good
Given your bodyweight that makes sense
But for a beginner what would say for someone who lifts 4x a week what should they do cardio wise?
@Kraviz i recommend starting a time run at 25 minutes and keeping your heartrate at 60 - 75% of your maximum. this is about 132 - 165 heart beats a minute. if you are truly hitting the weights like you are saying then you should go for a low to mid range. so 132 - 150. you need to make sure though that you are hitting your anaerobic threshold during weight lifting to have full workout. each week increase the speed but stay in that range. after awhile you will be able to run faster and still keep that heartrate range easily.
the heartrate range is based on a 220 maximum
