Hello /sci/ - are you guys into the science of strength training

About what?
Just workout brainlet.

Within reason of course. I find powerlifting in moderation and combined with running makes you much healthier. If you are too aggressive and don't mind your form, you will quickly find yourself injured. However, if you do compound exercises such as squat, bench, deadlift, power clean, pullups, overhead press, etc, you will find that you are much more resilient to aches and pains.

I've recently bought this ball, now I feel like playing everyday. Is voluntary cardio not better than V02max exercises like these for health? I still do strength training but I feel like cardio is what kicks my health up a notch

FAP is #1

If exercise is that good, how come most smart people aren't really fit, and most athletes can barely speak coherently?

I've always enjoyed the >changing fat into muscle meme. I almost thought it went extinct but then it was dropped on me again last week. Was happy as a clam.

Ontopic, yes free weight compound exercises are, and by a large margin, the best way to get into shape. Fuck a gym membership. Buy a squat rack, an actually decent olympic 220cm bar and one of those 140kg pack of weights instead. Do shit in the comfort of your own home. You'll be a lot more likely to get actually into it and more importantly keep at it.

Cardio is for pussies but if you want dem calves anywhere near fast you gotta start jogging.

I agree. If you think cardio is for pussies, try running a 5k without pausing. See how that'll go.
