You know running is a meme right?

>5. Strength training makes you more “durable,” in the sense that it makes you tougher, harder to hurt, and harder to kill.

Mental gymnastics.
"Strength athletes" will do anything they can to find ways to justify avoiding any kind of physical activity that lasts more than 30 seconds.
This is, quite simply, because enduring physical exertion for a longer time is harder than short bursts.
Hence you get "strength coaches" advocating "conditioning" which is always high intensity short bursts, sprints and such. Don't get me wrong, sprints and HIIT are awesome and everyone should be doing them, but trying to claim it as ALL you need is dumb.
And Rippetoe is a fucking retard. He's funny, but if you take his word as gospel then you're a retard too. Speaking confidently and ridiculing other ideas does not mean he is right.
>strong people are harder to kill"
No m8. not if the threat can run faster or for longer than them.
lifting more than twice a week is a meme
prehistoric men didn't have pointless, bulky muscles...those that did died out because such a physique slows you down and consumes too many resources

Has anyone ever tried this? My brother has been taking s serving of baby formula every day with his pre workout and has been getting really big. I really think this'll be the next big thing.

If it's good enough to grow baby it's good enough for Gains
Baby formula is a Jewish ploy.

You're either not talking to enough girls or your face is really bad. Since you're on /fit/, I'll just assume that it's pure autism + no friends.
How do you expect to get girls when they don't even know you exist? Put yourself out there.
just bee yourself
When will you learn that women don't make the moves on men in 99.9% of cases.
If you were the 0.1% that it happened to, you would know before you'd even left high school.
Make moves win vaginas.

It's literally just the leftover scraps from human food. What makes you think that it's any more nutritious?
Let's settle this once for all faggots. Which is superior.
Fats or carbs?
>>42255771
Fats to cut (look good)
Carbs to bulk (perform well)
>>42255809
Wrong.

How long do you use the rowing machine? I find it so boring I never last more than 5 or 6 minutes.
Don't have that in my gym, stuck with primitive useless barbell rows.
>>42255758
The first five minutes are the worst. I start up a podcast and row for an hour straight. After 5 minutes time starts going by a lot faster. After 15 you may as well be catatonic.
I just do 1k in 4 mins just to get the ol' heart pumping
How about we have a progress thread? It's been a while since I've seen one of those.
