Best Workouts for Health and Longevity?

OP, generally if you are asking this sort of question, you don’t need to worry about training too hard.

The problem is “health” is an ambiguous word. It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. You’d have to tells us what you want to accomplish.

Correct. There is no scientific predestination. At best there are only probabilities of future events.

And even more than the future being unknown quantum tells us
that the present itself cannot be fully known. No physical system can ever be fully determined much less predicted, so effects of something external to the universe can never be ruled out.

His enormous charitable donations and bringing facebook to the world(yes I saw the facebook movie, no I don’t want to talk about whether it was REALLY his idea or not). I think caveman’s point was that one can argue, quite easily, that Zuck is a good man without being a physically strong one.

EDIT: how about we use a better example - Ghandi.

this thread is getting super weird

Yeah, I understand the point that caveman is trying to make. It is very easy to understand his point.

My point is that he nor Gandhi are the best they can or could be, because they chose not to pursue making themselves physically strong. Those two examples and anyone who does not put forth the effort to make themselves stronger is doing a disservice to their human body.

Did Gandhi have the ability to make himself stronger? Does Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates have the ability to make themselves stronger?

alot of people i know think body builder’s powerlifter’s,strongmen competitor’s and people who lift weights for fun are weird
my point is people can be fit ,good health enjoy life without having to be physically strong in some else’s belief of what constitutes strong
i see nothing wrong with being as strong as a person can get but i really don’t believe it is a true measure of good , virtuous, best , or successful

I agree completely.

And for the sake of getting to 20 characters, I’ll reiterate: completely

What about that Ed Hardy piece of shit, who used to play football. This dude is a better guy than Ghandi?

This seems like the right thread for this gem.

“It’s all about leadership,” said the 257-pound strongman, who reportedly once dead-lifted 750 pounds.

I get what you’re trying to say. But, i’d counter that the devotion of time toward increasing one’s physical ability, pales in comparison to the devotion of time put forth to improving the human race. Had he spent more time building his muscles, he’d likelt have to spend less time on more important things. Muscles and bodies get old, weak, and die. Legacy lives on.

In response to the OP, walking is awesome and has shown to have a multitude of health benefits.

Being strong isn’t the bottom line true measure as to if you are the best you, you can be… Unless it is.

Just like being strong at the sake of all other virtues does not make you the best you possible.

It is best to approach being your best in a harmonous way.

Physical, mental, and spiritual.

It would be easy to say you are 100% right on. I can’t though. I honestly believe he could have spent 20? 30? Minutes a day on strengthening his body in some way (lifting heavy weights is the best way) and not affect his purpose. I think it would have made him even better

Mind, body, spirit.

Like a samurai. Write poetry, paint caligraphy, sword fight to the death.

The people of India are legendary for their balanced approach to mind/body. For 1000’s of years!

I bet Ghandi could do many, many Hindu squats and Hindu pushups.

Did Ghandi even lift? What a little pussy.

God, just think about how much of a better person he’d be if he squatted 500lbs. All his other accomplishments would pale in comparison.

What the fuck was he even thinking? Two grains of rice a day? Ain’t nobody gettin’ swole on that, noodle armed little bitch

lol
