>Cardio just automatically feels good to do and I look forward to it
>Absolutely loathe any strength program and find it impossible to stick to
Can someone help explain this to me?

I've enjoyed all types of cardio from low-intensity hiking to full HIIT cycling..
I've tried a lot of strength training (calisthenics, barbell, kettlebell) and just can't seem to enjoy them at all.

You know you can just do metabolic conditioning right? Low weight/high rep circuit training. Feels like cardio moves like strength. You won't gain as fast obviously but it has its own perks. Better for tendons, better for fat loss, cranks mitochondrial biogenesis through the roof. Technically it's like the safest and healthiest form of lifting there is... But you will be ridiculed as a faggot, as you can already see.

I love cardio but i hate the weird look it gives my body. My feezic dramatically improved since i stopped doing it and focused on lifting. Heart rate is still good enough

I love suicide boy

wtf no it doesn't? Cardio is the most agonizing thing I've ever done in my life.

Wut about bear crawl sprints? How does it compare?

Isn't that like... Kettlebells?
Low weight, lots of reps

>Pushing past your limits can and often does lead to physical injury
>So once there's no "gas in the tank" you have to stop
>Often don't even feel tired after but my muscles refuse to move any weights so there's little feeling of accomplishment
Strength training just feels like a chore to me and I can't figure out how to get myself to like it like most people seem to.
Like, I gotta do it I know just cardio is straight up unhealthy.

>>76319877 (OP)
For me it's the opposite but I still do my cardio, just don't be a bitch.
Most people have a natural preference for either cardio or weightlifting, it's normal.

Why do you avatarfag as this twink? Do you want to get raped?

i share your sentiment entirely except i hate cycling
the only strength exercise i don't hate is pull ups

>>76320598
But cycling is fun you get to go fast and all over the place
Running is fun cuz it's intense, but if I want to exercise and explore or go real fast bikes are the way

>>76320871
no cycling sucks fungus toes and it's dangerous and i hate cyclists as a motorist or even a pedestrian
just commute like a normal person and stop causing grief to everybody around you: you might not care if you break your spine because a gust of wind pushes you into a car but i care if i'm indicted for hurting your stupid ass

>>76321028
You know there's bicycle lanes right?
What's with motorists hating on bicycles for no reason lmao

>>76321066
>all roads have cycle lanes
maybe in denmark bjorn but not here
>for no reason
it's not for no reason
you slither your way to the front of the lights and then everyone has to veer into the middle of the road to overtake you turtling along
there is a big hill near me people go up and down at like 50 and there are regularly cyclists crawling up it reducing everyone to their tedious pace when traffic is in both directions
it's selfish and you deserve all the exhaust fumes and uv radiation you get

I know that, but the average cyclist doesn't seem to.

Use sidewalks? I’ve always biked on sidewalks

>>76319877 (OP)
you enjoy doing easier things and hate to start/continue doing difficult things. quite normal

>>76320039
That's because you're a fat pig.

>>76320164
It can be but doesn't have to be. It can any low weight/high rep strength training so long as you're consistently giving yourself little to no rest and moving as fast as possible between lifts so your heart rate doesnt drop much. Think like century sets on traditional lifts with no rest at all.

>>76319877 (OP)
I'm bi because of that fucking cutie

>>76319877 (OP)
fyi if I ever find you ing the woods im gonna have sex with you (consensual)

Your gay and hunger for semen

>>76321381
This is true but I still have always hated cardio even when I wasn't a fat pig. Managed to get up to jogging 4 miles straight and it was a fucking miserable experience that I never want to do again.

>>76320408
>"Runner High" feels good no matter what
i am completely convinced the runner's high is a meme and doesn't actually exist. No matter how good I got at cardio it was always a fucking slog and felt horrible.

>>76321888
you never pushed hard. I remember pushing until my heart started beating all funky and collapsing in a chair and I promise you I felt unmistakably drugged like I had just snorted ketamine, and I'm saying this as something that has snorted ketamine. total fucking blanket of warm numbness
that said, that's not what people usually refer to, they just mean the average amount of dopamine you get after running, and once again, if you've never had that you've definitely just never really pushed yourself, it's a basic biological function, obviously it doesn't stop running from being in-the-moment somewhat painful, your body doesn't want you to push yourself if you don't have to.

>>76322129
I was literally pushing myself as hard as I could, I had to physically stop moving at the end just to catch my breath and not hyperventilate. Fuck off.

I'm the same way, OP. I could bench my bodyweight (135lbs) on the first day, but I didn't care about it.

Now I'm back down to 125lbs (20 BMI), exclusively doing running. My resting heart rate is 45, I feel great, and I'll probably live until I'm 90.

Running is the healthiest exercise in the world, so I feel blessed that I actually enjoy doing it.

>>76319877 (OP)
either genes or ffmale,
strength is harder,but bigger payoff,you need to control your brain and neuroplasticity will slowly make str feel good

>>76322142
lmao you sound already heated from anon's comment so you probably didnt push yourself enough because of that temper you have.
Also, you really need to try. I've ran a few one-hour runs just because I was feeling good and stopped due to cramps.
maybe you're just very low test

>>76322762
nice try

>>76322736
Cardio is good but you need strength training to maintain bine density and muscle.

Cardio protects your CVS at the cost of your muscles and bones.
Strength protects your muscles, ligaments and bone density.

>>76320408
>Often don't even feel tired after but my muscles refuse to move any weights
It sounds like you aren't actually following any programs, or at least you don't understand them. Muscular failure is a good thing, and you need significant amounts of rest in between sets.

Starting Strength, Stronglifts 5x5 and Greyskull LP aren't memes, they're actually good. They all have books, websites and/or videos explaining what you're meant to be doing and why. So don't just look at picrel (which is good) and assume it's all you need.

>>76324165
is that overhead/BP 3 days in a row? wtf

>>76324378
It's a 7-day split. You're lifting 3x per week.

>Can someone help explain this to me?
Yes, the scientific term would be "twink chad", and you shouldn't be worried about it. As evidenced by the insane amount of seethe in this thread, fat fucks who don't understand that no one except other fat fucks care about their squat numbers.

>>76320408
>Strength training just feels like a chore to me and I can't figure out how to get myself to like it like most people seem to.
It is a chore, and you don't if you want to stay injury free into your 30's. Get a kettlebell, do some snatches, presses, swings, pullups, goblet squat and you're good.

>>76319877 (OP)
Cardio does not feel good to do, the immediate after does.
