Interesting study. I think diet plays a bigger role in the build up of plaque and though the article didn’t mention anything, you have to figure the diet probably wasn’t that different between groups. Very interesting.

Interesting study. I think diet plays a bigger role in the build up of plaque and though the article didn’t mention anything, you have to figure the diet probably wasn’t that different between groups. Very interesting. Read about James Fixx, the author of "The Book of Running" 1977. He famously ran up mileage for his countless marathons but his lifestyle habits were complete shit despite quitting smoking at 35 years old & dropping 70lbs in weight. He had a family history of CVD that he ignored because he had a false sense of security by running so much. He died of a massive heart attack at 52y while jogging. Autopsy revealed plaque build up everywhere. It's well known he frequently ate at McDonald's & did quite a bit of "carb loading" too. Martin Sheen smoked 3 packs per day & did drugs to boot. He too had a family history of CVD. He famously suffered a heart attack onset during the filming of Apocalypse Now. Afterwards, he reversed his lifestyle habits drastically & became a virtual health nut. He's still around today but underwent triple bypass surgery in 2015. |

7.5 hours a week of exercise? I'm cutting that in half, and then half again just to be safe. I should live forever. In all seriousness, how much difference is it going to make in your appearance if you workout 2 hours a day or 20 minutes every other day? Not much I'd wager. Diminishing returns.

This is a good explanation. www.strongfirst.com/the-cost-of-adaptation/"A number of Soviet and Russian textbooks, from the 1970s until today, cite a study of young rodents undergoing an intense swimming regimen — one hour a day for ten weeks.(2) Their heart mass increased while the mass of their kidneys and adrenal glands went noticeably down, and so did the number of the liver cells. In other words, while the training increased the functional capacity of the heart, it simultaneously reduced the capacity of several inner organs. If later the “athletes” from the study encountered significant physical loads, they would be better prepared to handle them and survive compared to their untrained peers. If, on the other hand, the challenge were directed at the liver or kidneys (through a change of food, an increase of sodium intake, etc.), the hard training rats would be at a disadvantage compared to their lazy brothers and sisters. This phenomenon is called the cost of adaptation.(3) The cost can be exacted from the systems of the body directly loaded by the stressor — or from other system(s) not directly involved in dealing with the stressor.(4)" |

I struggle with anything other than low-volume resistance training. As soon as I start increasing the volume I struggle to recover.

Worked for me by increasing workload & recovery ability. Ref: 10 Health Benefits of Intermittent Hypoxic Training michaelkummer.com/health/hypoxic-training/ |

Ref: 10 Health Benefits of Intermittent Hypoxic Training michaelkummer.com/health/hypoxic-training/ Do you think rebreathing into a lunch paper bag at timed intervals would have same benefits or is there a benefit to using plastic bag? |

Well?.....a paper bag is porous while a plastic bag is not. Plastic is ubiquitous anyways. The whole idea is to get a good seal on ur face, breath thru ur nose & raise the CO2 levels with timed intervals. Below is the rationale given of why u want to do such a goofy thing for. Hope that helps? Ref: HIF-1a: Hypoxia, Cancer, and Athletic Superpowers - Genetic Lifehacks www.geneticlifehacks.com/hif-1a-hypoxia-cancer-and-athletic-superpowers/ |
