During ze summer. During school it's much harder. And I was only able to do half gallon at most. Can't really drink a whole gallon at same time.

Plus was gone a lot, and ended up not exercising as much as I should have. Got restarted though.

If you read the OP, you will find a lot about nutrition, gymnastics and miscellaneous stuff (sleeping etc.) in there also. This thread has mainly developed into a Weightlifting thread, which is a little bit unfortunate and the reason why we are trying to get a sub-forum, where we can split stuff up into running, lifting, gymnastics, whatever your heart desires basically.

edit: I was surprised there is nothing about injuries/injury-prevention in our OP, or maybe I am just blind...

Besides that, I feel that a lot of the stuff you have posted on the last page seems questionable or even flat out wrong to me (and I don't say that because I believe that lifting heavy weights is the only way to achieve health and fitness). ==> Cardio helping with Pull-Ups? Only in the sense that if you lose 5kg by doing cardio those Pull-Ups will get easier.

Cardio helps with everything man, everything. I did read the OP which was fine, but yeah this is definitely a weight-lifting thread not a fitness thread which is why I questioned it. Sub-forums would be a good idea.


How does cardio help with pullups?

Studies would be useful, preferably.

I can show how weight lifting helps with running. Can you do the opposite?


Cardio helps with pullups by speeding recovery, if done right. 20 easy min 3x/week sorta deal.

Do I get a prize?

Now can you show me any world class runners who use weight training?
And please, endurance only. I think that's what the guy was referring to.


No, you don't get a prize because you haven't proven anything. Prove to me how the physiological adaptations obtained from cardio help to improve pullups.

I asked for studies of which I can provide for athletes in phases of endurance training the benefit of strength work:

Rowers:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21510717
Cyclists:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21362056
cross country skiing:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21081854
Runners:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20840561
etc.

Also, Hicham El Guerrouj's training program for example:
http://run-down.com/guests/mv_el_guerrouj.php

You see, I can find studies that prove that strength work supports cardiovascular adaptations. However, you will have lots of trouble reliably proving the opposite.

Ok. I'm not going to provide studies because I really can't be bothered right now (just finished work and it's nearly 6am ) but I'll dig some up if you really want.

If you knew anything at all about human biology you would know that the longer your body can utilise aerobic respiration to synthesise ATP the better. And guess what doing cardio does? Increases the aerobic threshold. Mind = blown.

Top American marathoner Ryan Hall lifts weights. I believe all true elite distance runners do strength training of some kind. If it is not in the form of lifting weights it is in the form of doing plyometrics or drills of various kinds.

They do weights yeah but not to get big, more for muscle endurance.


I have a BS in biochemistry. I know what you are thinking, but it's incorrect thinking.

I think you should consider the fact that cardiovascular endurance is not the limiting factor in endurance exercise. Vo2max, for example, which signifies both cardiovascular ability, is not the defining factor in ability in elite endurance runners.

When you are talking about an exercise such as pullups where there is more of a strength-endurance type of effort needed, the defining factors that influence performance will be (1) maximal strength which makes repetitions easier and (2) ability of the muscles to tolerate anaerobic threshold specific to that muscle.

Cardio, which works the legs, also benefits the heart. However, it is not confer any significant benefits to the lats, biceps, forearms, and rest of the shoulder girdle which is critical in building the strength-endurance of those muscles for pullups.

So basically what you are saying is wrong. Just flat out wrong.

There's no need to do cardio to increase pullup numbers. He needs to (1) train weighted pullups and (2) train lots of pullups in high rep sets.

Specificity in training is key to get good at things.

Well played sir. But I disagree that I'm completely wrong. Cardio is still going to help him, it's not like it's going to have a negative effect
It is, in the end, whatever the Hell I want it to be, And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole, This wide, straight through the worlds own idea of itself. They're throwing bottles at your house. Come on, lets go break their arms.

But exShikari, if his time is limited to 5 hours a week, do you still feel that cardio should be priotised over lifting?

Just eat some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to get calories. Ice cream etc. It's not really hard to get calories in tbh.
Reach the protein goal and then fill up with that stuff.
Pasta is the easiest way to get in a lot of carbs at once.

Drinking a ton of milk will help you learn how to eat.

Today's macros: 95g of fat, 230g of protein, 520g of carbs (lol).

I take my carb refeeds seriously.

Decaf: I've got no idea how you stay so lean on such consistently high calorie diets. I'm still moving more slowly towards 105kg, but my squat hasn't gone up in ages--probably about nine months of not hitting a new real PR (old PR is 130kg; felt like I could pull another rep at that weight too). Today I failed at 122.5kgx1, and also failed at 97.5kg bench. I used to rep 95kgx5 on bench too .

Yeah, I have to stop getting off track with the lifting. This is honestly getting embarrassing.

Leangains is ridiculous. not even one week in, and I notice significant changes to my stomach, as well as to my energy levels and my focus. Loving it so far. I would be that at the calorie levels I was at, I'm two weeks from visible abs.

Since that isn't my goal atm, I'm adding ANOTHER 100 calories to each day. (~3500 lifting days and ~2700 off days.) I think I also need to learn to estimate portion sizes better, I'm just going by "fist is a cup" "deck of cards is 3 oz" etc. etc.
