>>36653844
Mfw ripped guys pile in on a weighted run
Nope, no cardio here.
Probably leaner than 99% of you cardio fags anyway haha.
>>36653890
It probably takes you about 14 minutes to run a mile with those little manlet legs.
>>36649633
40 minutes of steady state 2-3 days a week on a stationary bike.
15 minutes HIIT on lifting days also stationary bike.
Gonna start swimming in the summer.
I wouldnt do cardio if I didn't have PT standards
>>36649633
I skateboard.
And try to talk myself into believing it is enough.
>>36656105
I hope you meant skateboard squats
I run 5k a few times a week
Hill sprints 3x a week. 10 reps.
>>36650497
should chime in on >>36655533
I am trying to get back into cardiovascular shape. I stopped doing cardio when I started lifting a few years ago and now I doubt I can even run a 6-minute mile anymore
>tfw no longer a skelly but don't know how to run properly to accommodate the extra weight on my frame
>>36653890
I feel bad for the guy who originally posted this picture. He is literally a meme now
>>36649633
doing 6k every weekday, bumping it up to 8 next week. goal is doing 12k per day in a little over a month, and doing a big 20k run in june. i used to run like this all the time but havent for like 10 years, its nuts because im feeling better and better each day, like im waking up from a coma or being cured of being a zombie.

>>36649633
I do yoga once a week, lift 3 times a week, play tennis twice a week, and bike everywhere.
Always lifted but recently diversified... Feelsgoodman
50 miles a weak, gearing up for some half-marathons in the summer
moving couches is embarrassingly difficult for me
>>36656741
question for you anon, im doing a half marathon in a couple months, how long should you be able to continuously run before you can complete one? like, if i can already do 6 miles a day three times a week, would i be able to do 13 miles once without stopping?
>>36656776
I'd say if you can run 8 comfortably, you should be able to do a half without walking
After every workout. I really do like the unwinding feeling cardio gives me.
>>36656793
awesome thanks, nice knowing i didnt fuck myself signing up for this thing
I fucking love cardio, it always gets me incredibly sweaty and fatigued in the head, way more than strength/lifting. I may have developed a sweat fetish because of it.
On another note, how good is swimming as an overall exercise? Is it gonna help me look as good as the twinks from FREE or should I look elsewhere?
yup, training for a half marathon.
I bike everywhere, about 50 - 100 km a week. Then I run about 20-30km a week
Sprint, 10 minutes run, jumping rope and kick-boxing.
Gotta eat like an elephant to stay in my weight category
>>36656862
swimming is goat
However it gets boring really fast
>>36649633
I'm gonna start soon I swear
>>36656247
Lesson learned, don't post your face on 4chan. Fucking noobs.
This was me just a year and a half ago...
Im doing sprints everyday and eating chickenbreast to trim some fat to get these glorious abs again, i hope i make it
Now that we have a bunch of cardioheads gathered together I can finally ask my question. I will be running 3-4 times a week until fall. Is lifting twice a week enough volume to roughly keep my current strength? I want to be in the best place possible come fall to get the most gains next winter when I bulk.
>>36657385
depends on how much you run during those 3-4 times, how much you eat and how heavy and efficiently you lift.
>>36649633
Some running, more cycling now that the weather is turning nicer, not enough swimming.
>>36650412
They are called "bicycle" and are a great way to get around, too.
>>36657414
5 miles per run.
Day 1: Deadlift, Bench, Bent Row, Weighted Pull ups
Day 2: Squat, Front Squat, Weighted Dips, (looking for an excersise to go here)
I'm not worried about eating, easily adjusted if I'm feeling tired all the time. I realize I will lose some muscle, I just want the impact to be as little as possible.
>>36657414
As far as how heavy, I'm thinking ill work between 60-80% 1rm for 3x5.
>want a gf so I can have sex
>not because it feels good
>just because it is great HIIT cardio
>and will really help the late stages of my cut
anyone else know this feel?
>>36649633
Monday = legs
Tuesday = abs
Wednesday = Chest, Shoulders and back
Thursday = Arms; Biceps, triceps, forearms
Friday = Cardio
Saturday = Cardio
run a mile everyday and swim
Along with my 6 day ppl i alternate between running and swimming for an hour sun-fri and bike 5 mi (8 km) each direction to and from the gym
Is cycling or jogging better for cardio?
I prefer cycling but I might have to skip my bike if jogging is significantly more efficient.
I do Iron cardio
>Iron fucking cardio
I know
>>36658008
Protip: do both
I run and cycle, and I love each for their own merits
how do I avoid shin splints? every time on start running I end up getting them within a week and then I can't run for several weeks.
>>36658140
what are the merits of each?
Every time I think I can get my cardio routine going we get another cold streak here in the Midwest. I'd like to run 4 miles 3 times a week and do some biking.
>>36649633
Unless you are training to compete, you do not need to do strenuous cardio. A non-athlete who does 30-60 minutes of moderate cardio (read: brisk walking, or mile ascent hiking) will reach their target heart-rate for maintaining cardiovascular health. We're so used to associating cardio with athletic training, because for the first half of our lives, we're often playing sports, and preparing for competition, but when you are older, and non-competitive, you only have to be concerned with general health.
Now, if you're just STROLLING in a park, and now maintaining pace, which keeps your heart-rate down, you won't get much cardiovascular benefit. But it you are keeping pace, or navigating slightly technical terrains, our heart-rate will be high enough. You can add a weighted pack if you want if you stat to plateau as your body becomes used to the moderate exercise.
This is a better long term strategy than pounding your knees, and burning calories, which in the long term wears you body out. You don't have to stay in competitive training mode for your whole life just to be healthy.

tell your bones to stop being little faggots
at least 2 miles a day a couple of hours after lifting
Dunno why I'm dumping this here but oh well.
I ran my first half marathon on Sunday. At the beginning I promised myself that I wouldn't walk any of it. The first 8 miles were okay but the final 5 were terrible. I didn't walk any of it, despite nearly throwing up on mile 11, I kept running.
I sprinted the last kilometre and when I crossed the finish line I burst into tears. I don't know why. There was no one to greet me at the end or to wave at me from the crowd but I felt really emotional.
>>36649633
Just came back from a 30 minute run with my dog. He's pooped. Waiting for the girlfriend to come home so i can hit the gym.

85 degrees here in orlando
>>36661343
extreme fatigue like that makes people emotional, it's weird
When I run marathons I get super emotional at 22+ miles, I start tearing up if someone so much as gives me a smile
>good job anon
Y-YOUR S-SO NICE *holds back tears*
