>Even if there is some truth to this theory, what matters is how it equates to real world situations. If this were true, then bodybuilders with their increased lean mass would suffer from problems associated with poor circulation, including ED, but this is simply not the case. But, with fat lumps of lard, it is, although this may also be due in part to a lack of cardivascular exercise. Just look at the vascularity of a bodybuilder compared to a marathon runner. And if you think weight lifting cannot provide a demanding enough stimulus for increasing aerobic capacity, you have obviously not tried high rep breathing squats. Throw them into a circuit type workout with other compound movements and your heart will get a better workout than if britney spears just walked out of your bathroom naked.
Actually I advised to do high rep squats. What I do not advise is to mainly focus over slow mass building reps over strength or cadio conditioning.
Suffer is a heavy word. But have a bodybuilder run a marathon or compare his capacity of prolonged sex (if this interests you more) e.g. pornmovie type to that of a normal man to get my point.Weights usage can help aerobic but not by the bodybuilding style.
>I’m not saying there is no truth to this at all, most people weight train to get bigger and look good naked, and so train the slow twitch fibers because it is neccesary for THEIR goals, you know, to be more confident and enjoy life more and stuff, not to become a master gymnast.
I understand your point here, but if I am curling a 50kg dumbell, you bet it will move slowly in the concentric phase, but the actual speed that my arm moves is irrelevant, because the muscle fibers are being fired explosively. This is using the type II fibers. There is a time and a place for slow concentrics, in increasing lactate levels for example, but if a guy is working below par you would not expect him to receive optimal results.
Yeah but if you curl a 50kg dumbell the way you say you definately can’t complete a high rep set using strict-proper technique.This will enhance more force than bodymass.
So no problem here(I do not see where you disagree)
>You bash bodybuilding because it slows you down, but you suggest a workout routine of:
“Try to jog every other day for 25 mins in slight inclination and have 90 free squats daily done in 3x30 sets with a 1 min break.”
Can you say slow-twitch city!?!? A little hole in your argument here, no? jogging for 25 minutes will not help you acheive your speed potential, and why on an inclination??? If you are running uphill you are running more slowly! And sets of 30 reps will not target the fast twtich-ers either.
Increase directly your speed potential no but will help improve your cardio and regulate your weight-mass rapport for a more normal balanced physique from a speed-hindered one.
Why do you say if you are running uphill you are running more slowly?I think speed depends on you(this is no sprint course its a 25 min course)
>I understand that you have your goals and that is great, but saying that increased muscle mass will hinder PE progress is completely false, IMO.
I think that a normal balanced person can easier perform in a PE program.
Thank you.
