probably the most intense cardio you can do

The leanest I ever got was when I was into road cycling. Coffee and cycling. Thats all I needed at one point in my life.

its less intense than hugging with sweaty muscular men aka grappling

>>76235186 (OP)
And the most fun. Imagine rooning around the block when you could be zooming through the countryside on a bike.

>>76236873
>implying most on fit aren't city dwelling chuds
I'm lucky I have a half decent park near the hellhole city where I live so I can run. I want to get into biking but there is no place to bike and drivers here have a tradition to change lanes just to run over the cyclists.

>the most intense cardio you can do

That would be swimming butterfly. Added bonus is that you don't end up looking like a malnourished schoolgirl.

swimming, sprints, boxing, jumping rope, rowing.
the final redpill of cardio.

Of course it is.

Actually the most intense form of cardio is being on the receiving end of anal sex. Thankfully practitioners of that pictured activity tend to regularly engage in both.

>>76242116
No, it is not. Post top VO2max achived by jumping rope

>>76235186 (OP)
Sprinting uphill is far more intense.
The most intense way to do cardio regardless of the exercise (skipping rope, jogging, sprinting, cycling, battle ropes, etc) is to do intervals of moderate intensity to max effort intervals and repeat for time.
For a example jog for 1 minute at a moderate pace and sprint for 20-30 seconds, then go back to a jogging pace, repeat this interval 4-5 times and you'll get better cardio than jogging at a steady pace for 30-40 minutes.
You can do this with any cardio exercises of your choice and i guarantee that everything else will be easy afterwards.

>>76235186 (OP)
No, that would be fucking your mom.

Lmao, pathetic cuck, endurance fags fold as soon as there's any intensity involved, real athletes and real cardio is high intensity.
Lmao, endurance athletes what a fag.

>>76242202
uphill sprints aren't any more intense than regular sprints, they just slow down your acceleration phase which helps avoid injury. they're good for someone getting into sprinting from zero.
a proper sprint on flat ground with good form is miles more intense than uphill sprints.

>>76242476
endurance training is the most human thing you can do, modernistcuck. its what we are evolved to do better than any being on earth.

>>76242578

bikers on mt diablo fucking suck it should be illegal to ride your bike up that mountain

cardio is hilarious because it is easily the hardest and has the worst results and highest injury rate.

>>76243296
it makes you feel good

>>76243039
yes because they (kenyans) mog you (ugly subhuman muttmerican) HARD in regards to long distance endurance running and fitness in general.

>>76235186 (OP)
Not the most intense, but clearly the one you can do the longest (getting cagied notwithstanding).

I get the appeal but I could never get into cycling for some reason, I'd much rather just move on my feet even though I can cover much less distance this way
>>76243296
it also has by far the most health benefits and it's the biggest contributor to longevity. You don't need to run ultramarathons btw, just running half an hour at a moderate pace 2-3 times a week and walking every day is enough to enjoy its benefits and that's not hard nor does it have a high risk of injury

>>76243296

>probably the most intense cardio you can do
too intense, i usually got pumped quads in first 15 minutes and mostly vastus lateralis, that is until i realised ankling is a thing
i though i would never cycle for recreation/cardio ever again, but it turns out when i focus on ankling (using mostly calves stopping knee extension halfway through) i can actually get winded cycling, and it's fast, and i can sustain it fast

funny they blabber ad infinitum about sit positioning and shit but they never tell u you can purposefuly ankle, i wonder why

>>76236873
This is like 5km away from the village I live in. Biking through this area is actual therapy

Because getting winded quickly and biasing the smaller and weaker lower leg muscles is actually counterproductive for sports performance.

>>76242476

How do you know? You haven't seen any endurance athlete training program, you have no idea. Endurance athletes ALWAYS have high intensity sessions, 3-5 easy training sessions and 1-2 high intensity sessions is a typical scheme. Also any decent marathon runner would outrun in sprint

>>76242202
>Sprinting uphill is far more intense.
So what? Squatting 1 rep max is even more intense, doesn't make it cardio

>>76242202
>repeat this interval 4-5 times and you'll get better cardio than jogging at a steady pace for 30-40 minutes
How do you know? What is your 5k time? What is your VO2max?

>>76244115
>Recovery between combinations is backed by cardio
It is backed by cardio but it doesn't train cardio. Even recovery between sets while strength training and even strength sessions backed by cardio, but strength training doesn't train cardio.

>>76243611
I'm so fucking jealous

>>76244171
My village is near the Bohemian paradise and it is indeed pretty nice. I can't imagine living in a big city where there's no nature. Sure, living in a village has it's drawbacks, almost no services and you have go to a town to even buy groceries, but the nature around here is fucking magnificent. Biking in the forests around here just feels super good

>>76235186 (OP)
Nah I bet swimming away from a group of aggressive hippos is more intense than biking up a mild incline.

>>76244115
Yes those are sprint cyclists. The guy that posted that image probably doesn't realize they do an insane amount of weight lifting as well lmao.

>>76243644
Did the cardio do all those BSS?

bros. my goal is to be able to ride 40-45km/h consistently with little efforts.

how should I train for it? btw my bike is flat bar. I dont think I will go aero anytime soon

>>76245081
>how should I train for it?
Cycle a lot. Getting up to 40 km/h is no problem, but maintaining that speed over long distances is very different. Professional cyclists will average a bit more than that on flat terrain, but not a while lot.

Why does biking attract the biggest faggots possible?
Every single bike enthusiast is absolutely insufferable and they all have by far the worst physiques.
And as opposed to hiking you don't even get to enjoy your surroundings.

>>76245146
>Why does biking attract the biggest faggots possible?
An expensive hobby with a very materialistic culture and a high degree of focus on "performance" even for the most casual of cyclist. This will attract a lot of faggots and foster a rather disagreeable attitude.
>Every single bike enthusiast is absolutely insufferable and they all have by far the worst physiques.
The middle-aged dentists you see in youtube clips aren't representative for us all.
>And as opposed to hiking you don't even get to enjoy your surroundings.
Not true at all.

>>76245146

It does not but 4chan """people""" like you repeating this same way they repeating climbing attracts leftists or something.

No wear and tear from jogging or running. It will probably catch up with a person one day.

>>76236873
I do both but I have to say I get a way better high from running compared to cycling. Running is a much more involved activity compared to cycling in my opinion, yes cycling you go way faster but your kinda just sitting there peddling away with running its a full body movement to propel yourself forward and is much more engaging to me. Ive never gotten the same high cycling as I do when im running fast af. Like you actually feel like an athletic god when running fast, and while cycling fast is also extremely thrilling too it just never felt as good as running. Thats just me though.

>>76243296
Cardio is the best medication for most types of mental illness imo, depression, anxiety etc... It just makes you feel so good, being fit feels amazing, I cant describe it. Having energy all the time and never getting tired is great. Your effortless breathing just day to day its hard to explain its just you just become so efficient at breathing whereas most people are out of breath if they jog for 1 min lol or have to go up stairs, whereas youre just breathing normally.

>>76245146
Apparently they are mentally ill >>76246895

>>76246895
I don't know about all that but you inspired me to go on a walk after sitting around all day and I feel much better now

>>76246937
im a runner

>>76236772
wrong

>>76235186 (OP)
I think if you were completely underwater wearing a weighted vest and zip tied to a resistance bike it would be more intense

>>76235186 (OP)
Also one of the gayest too.

>>76235186 (OP)
Cycling hurts the left side of my lower back. How to fix that?
Stretching makes it somewhat better, but it still hurts.
I'm 185cm tall and my bike is size L. My parents bought it for me when I was fifteen and I was 178cm tall back then and had no problems with back pain. Do I need a larger bike?

>>76247756
>I'm 185cm tall and my bike is size L
In short: it's more complicated than that. Look up some youtube videos on bike fitting, specifically relating to back pain, try some stuff, experiment and see if it improves.

>>76247784
Oh ok, I already tried lowering my saddle and adjusting the angle, which helped with the back pain but on the other hand it feels like my knees are to high. I don't really have money for a new bike and this bike was a massive bargain. My parents bought it second hand and it was fairly new, in perfect condition and the dude selling it replaced a few parts for better ones, like the fork. The price of the bike + new parts was almost $3k and we bought it for $900.

how do you go 50km/h with a MTB?
I had a 700cc touring bike that I was able to ride up to 50kmh, but I struggle to reach even roughly 43-45km with MTB, even on the heaviest gear.

>>76247829
Bike fitting is a rather complicated thing, maybe the bike is the right size, but it's one of the contact points that is wrong is some way. Could be that you just have poor posture. If you have a couple hundred to splash you could go see a professional bike fitter, or just experiment and see what works better. Can take a while to dial it in on your own, but it is possible with some time and effort.

GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR LANE

>>76243643
>Because getting winded quickly and biasing the smaller and weaker lower leg muscles is actually counterproductive for sports performance.
but the opposite is true in my experience bot :D
i can go on and on with exagerrated ankling and my quads don't get stupid pumped immediately like they used to :D

>>76243605

>>76243643
>Because getting winded quickly
it is supposed to be cardiovascular effort bot
if my ankle is NOT in action i just get pumped quads bot and that's that lol

>>76248327
Shut the fuck up retarded bot :D, every one of your posts is deranged babbling, literally worthless :D
Post body bot and maybe someone will take you seriously

>>76240236
thank you, this has been retarded

>>76242202
Have you ever actually ridden a bike up a steep hill? It's infinitely harder than sprinting. Getting off the bike and running is how you rest. Biking up steep mountains in 110 degree heat is the most cardio intensive activity I've experienced in my life.

Keep crying bikecucks.

>>76235186 (OP)
Gonna do a 315km road cycling "race" this weekend, which me luck boys.

>>76249779
My friend participated in some 1000km mountain biking race and almost died. So GL bro

>>76247862
Ok, I'm gonna watch some more videos and give it a try. I think the main problem is that my left leg is slightly shorter and my hips rock when I'm cycling.

>>76249779
Is it randonneuring/brevet? Gonna ride 200 km in the end of june

Probably the biggest asshole you can be.

bike trail that goes past my house goes 10km to here

Nah
