Does anyone really LOVE running?

i mean does anyone love it so much that they say, wow i think i’ll run for another hour?? i mean i used to be a runner but the best it ever got for me was “well this isn’t killing me, i’ll think of my grocery list while i run, plan this or that” but i never LOVED it.

Cardio is evil. Cardio is the enemy of gains.

That said, I used to enjoy jogging before I came to Iron. Which is sorta like coming to Christ, but with more devotion, worship, and guilt.

@Tatsumi lol well i used to be a fitness trainer and there’s no way you will convince me cardio is the enemy of gains lol. you need both cardio and iron to be fit .

@NiftyWhite ...O_o You speaketh blasphemy, witch.

I'm guessing you didn't train dudes for mass.

I guaruntee you cardio is a gains killer. It burns calories that are needed for supercompensation and growth, burns fat, and leans you out. That's why joggers are so effin' skinny.

The only exception is HIIT training, which stimulates anabolism.

cardio burns fat. that’s true. but you don’t have to lift weights to gain that kind of “mass”. if you’re weight training and eating properly, cardio doesn’t hurt muscle mass. i’m a fitness competitor. pretty sure i know what i’m doing lol.
