yeah there's a difference in my being fit and running every day for an hour vs you trying to look like your favorite childhood action figure

you enjoy those deep conversations you must have with your ladies, i'm sure they love looking at veins trying to push their way out of your forearms while you two sip on box wine at your local applebees

What Stuart says has some validity, but nowhere near the extent to what he's saying.

Did he just copy paste quotes from doctors without a link? Not to mention one of them says lifting half of your body weight can tear your aorta LOL

Incoming aorta tear from me lifting 80 pounds.

i'm saying if you look like a roid freak you'll likely be dead by 55 lol

i'm not talking about normal guys who lift, obviously that's extreme

but this freak who looks like a heman doll from 1982 is clearly not "healthy" or qualified to offer advice

like 30% of people who exercise "intensely" have irregular heartbeats by age 50 lol

but please, by all means, keep doing what you do. more ladies for me when they all see your gross veiny arms that look like a normal person's leg

There are different variations of fit. An olympic marathon runner is considered fit, however he may be unhealthy due to his physical stature and low body fat. Same can be said regarding power lifters. Very strong and fit, however technically unhealthy due to their BMI (not a good measure of health, but I'm using it as a point). Being "fit" isn't just about being lean and cut.

The same argument can be made for you. Running for an hour every could potentially destroy the cartilage in your knee. You can reduce the meniscal cartilage and wear it down to the point where you can develop Arthritis.


You're arguing semantics here. Why are you judging him for wanting to be more muscular? Let them do what they want, and they can provide advice to OP as he has requested.



Also, what makes you qualified to offer advice if you're arguing that? His knowledge may be more than yours despite his "he-man" appearance to you. He probably eats healthier than you do and lives an active lifestyle, which you say you do also, but differently. There are people here who are qualified to provide him advice, such as myself.

i competed in a competition, that required me to look as such.
i look no where near that on a regular day basis let alone now (have been lifting as much, focusing on more endurance/functional strength training programs)
so that argument (seems to be your only one) is invalid.

also, unlike your claims of running for an hour a day (which isn't impressive or a noteworthy accomplishment) i have validated my claims with everyone here, via social media, real life interactions or just being part of this sub for 10 years.
you have none, so you can fight your way behind your computer screen all day but its just words from a random who in most of our opinions is full of shit and insecure as fuck.

but again, the women i pull or have pulled in my past, make the women you're fortunate enough to get look like sea creatures. so lets stop pretending to not only us, but yourself that you're some fitness healthy studly guru who is to good for everyone here.

Regular high-intensity exercise linked with atrial fibrillation

In the second study, conducted by researchers in Sweden, more than 44,000 men between the ages of 45 and 79 were asked about their physical activity tendencies during the ages of 15, 30, 50 and during the past year of their life.

For an average of 12 years, the researchers tracked the participants' heart health to determine how many developed an irregular heart rhythm, also known as atrial fibrillation, which is a known stroke risk factor.

Results showed that men who exercised intensely for more than 5 hours a week were 19% more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat by 60 years of age, compared with those who exercised less than 1 hour a week.

However, those who did slightly less-intense exercises - such as cycling or briskly walking - for an hour a day or more at the age of 60 were 13% less likely to develop an irregular heartbeat than those who did not exercise at all.


but you know, talk to your local bro, it's more likely than not that he dabbles in cardiology

rofl, all these mad kids....

Dr. David Ancona, a cardiologist with Memorial West in Pembroke Pines, Florida, says that it is very essential for people who lift weights to get a regular heart screening done. The reason is that lifting weights has a direct impact on the aorta, which is the heart's main artery. He says that lifting more than half your body weight will put an immense strain on your aorta, causing it to tear in some places.

Dr. John Elefteriades, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital, says that a rise in blood pressure from lifting heavier weights than half your body weight, can result in a torn aorta. The symptoms of a torn aorta are very similar to having a stroke. The pain is sharp and stabbing and it leads to the feeling of nausea, causing you to feel very light headed.

A study by cardiothoracic surgeons at Yale-New Haven Hospital in December of 2003 proved that there is a strong link between heart problems and weight lifting, and strength training as a whole. Dr. Elefteriades, who led the study, says that the study was conducted on five healthy individuals who suffered a condition called aortic dissection during weight lifting. The study showed that heavy weight lifting can lead to a rise in blood pressure to almost 300.
