I do those too! 😂

yarrrrrr 💪

Fr

That is brain damage, go see a doctor

I did the exact same thing 😅

Thats neat....

@@zisischatzopoulos3431 badum tiss 🥁

@@zisischatzopoulos3431 you deserve more recognition for that

yeah this 2x your weight in calories is totally made up bs 😂

​@@tcfc85 that's for high intensity cardio done in a single session.

​@@tcfc85that is fer one cardio session, not fer the entire day or sth. do not try to underestimate scholars on their study areas. Brat.

I bet. : A

Yes, I almost got a doggy door. Glad I didnt. That wouldnt be NEAT.

Yes!

Dude yes, this! I just got a dog a month ago and my cut got insanely fast. Three walks a day keeps the fat away 😂

​@@JoshBenware🤣

Omg yes when i first got my drums i lost about 10 pounds just from that without realizing😂

Especially cz i was using a double pedal

@@RAGEEcs- I know exactly what you mean. Like going for a run 😂.

Or at the very least, hold true to very old advice when at the grocery store: DON'T SHOP WHILE HUNGRY!

Major fatties will pull energy from existing to preserve muscle. Start slow and ratchet up. All of this stuff is adaptive/progressive and you can leave yourself room to increase diet or cardio as you stall

*Existing fat

That sounds like an amazing routine lmao

@@davidec.4021 might as well be making the most of my time multi-tasking 🤙

that's a heavenly cardio session.

​@@jasson7106no, not at all. There are muxh much much better ways of cardio than biking, jogging, or elliptical. Those burn less calorie per minute but are much much healthier on ye as they tend to not force yer cardiovascular system meaning that they don't tend to climb up to the climaxes where ye turn red and purple etc, and are much much less traumatic on the joints and bones and muscles, and are actually very fun to do, and they actually make ye gain a lot of skillsets in general. Thos include; martial arts, dancing, skating, skiing, surfing (I wouldn't recommend that as going into the ocean without great protection is dangerous; ye know all about whales, sharkes, octopuses, huge squids etc), badminton, tennis, pinpon, basketball, volleyball etc.

Oh, for sure. Dr. Mike himself does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which he’s noted in another video is right up there in terms of high fatigue cost. But he also knows that there’s only so much time and energy to go around, so if he’s prepping for a bodybuilding show, BJJ goes on the back burner for a while. And of course there’s the question of how much each sport matters to you. The higher you go (or want to go), the less room you have to compromise. For someone who just wants to look good on the beach, gaining 2% less muscle this year is no big deal. For a pro bodybuilder, that 2% could cost him prizes and sponsorships.

@Just Shane id rather have the cardiac health that can allow me to run 7 miles over the 5 percent more muscle retention. I admit that’s a total guess but as long as calories are high you don’t lose much muscle. That’s what I’ve seen with myself. I’m also natural so I would think I would lose the most muscle from running and long cardio sessions. Any muscle that you lose you get back after a week or two of lifting heavy and increasing carbs.

@@Magic_beans_ I train MMA and have really strugled combining it with the liftin effectively mainly because of i had to catch up on cardio endurance after my last bulk phase because gassing out aint fun and muscles require hell of a oxygen consumption plus all the lactic acid build up from lifting.I figured i cant recover from both lifting and that much cardio on a cutting diet it was impossible for me it would lead me to an injury so i couldnt do that i had to be on a maintance diet for a long a time and thus i was without any proggress on my physique for a long time.I would have to structure my training to be able to execute a cutting cycle somehow once i have made enough progress in my endurance for my body to be able to sustain a calorie deficit.Its not as easy when you have to combine lifting with another sport and make progress in every area.

He is speaking in terms of optimality, which applies mostly to elite athletes and physique competitors. If you want to run for your cardio, the detriment to your muscle mass could be measurable but will likely be small. I'd posit a guess that with you being adapted to running, this effect would likely not make a noticeable difference, so long as you aren't training for an ultra or something. Make sure you resistance-train with sufficient volume; also, a smaller deficit (longer cut) would be advisable.

@@7sunfire7 I'm not training for races anymore. I was a 5k runner, so most of my runs never went above an hour, but when I was training for races, I had to run incredibly quick for long periods. But I've switched over to powerlifting now, but I'm on off-season so I'm attempting to cut the fat while maintain muscle & then rebulk just before the season starts. So I've been weight training with maybe 30 min cardio at a moderate speed (8:00 min per mile). But even still I think the cardio might be a little too much because it is taxing, but I just need to break old habits so I can get better results.

It's not impossible, it just MIGHT be harder. Look up "hybrid athletes".

@@AMortalDothApproach I'm sure it's not impossible, but I think was running is way too destructive & I lost too much weight too quickly. Actually about 8 lbs in two weeks. I got very lethargic after those two weeks, so I had to switch the intense cardio with something a bit lighter

Going by the video, he recommends this. "4. Only add cardio when you need it. Start with NEAT, when your weight loss goal isn't met for 1-2 weeks on end, you need to enlarge the deficit. Ask yourself what will generate more diet fatigue: cutting food or increasing cardio." Also weight means absolutely nothing without height, considering muscle mass etc. Dr. Israetel at 5'6 220lbs is jacked, average 5'6 dude at 220lbs is too fat.

@@esmee6308 that makes sense, thanks...yea aint comparing myself to him, I'm 6 ft btw

@@serban2139 I'm 5'10 and 165lbs is still a higher bodyfat weight for me, so definitely no Dr. Israetel myself either ahahah. But yeah, if you can add 5k steps, keep rest the same you should be smashing those goals. Best of luck!

For real though, Layne Norton observed in one of his videos that when he’s really diet fatigued, he talks and blinks more slowly.

Do you have a treadmill at home? If not, how do you have the time and patience for that lmao. Is that not like ~5 hours of walking?

It's a general rule. If you lose 10 pounds, it's not gonna make a difference losing that extra 20 calories in cardio.

Don't worry, crawling will burn just as much calories as walking!

It’s good advice, and fortunately pretty common. Basically, you want to do just enough, be it lifting, cardio, or calorie cutting, to get results. Your body will adapt, and that’s when you go harder. If you go hard immediately and your body adapts, then where do you go?

@@Magic_beans_ Meadows described as cards, play them at the right time

Walking doesn't require as much effort, and doesn't cause as much muscle damage. I think it's just that simple
