Would You Rather

If I had the powers of superman I would honestly pick a fight with every superpower country.

Would you rather:

Never have to eat again, but always be properly satiated and fuelled

OR

Never have to workout again, but continue to make slow and steady gains?

never eat again.

Imagine the gains with this aspect dialed in, with no effort on my part.

I would go crazy(ier) without training.

This one, I would get back time to learn other things while my physique improved all by itself - therefore I could be a genius and have the body of a Norse God.

Iā€™d take this one. Nice to just chill for 6 mos. or something and not lose ground.

I would say that the original question is far too vague to really be answerable. What does fully recovered mean?

The point of lifting weights is generally to build muscle and strength, which happens when you recover from a training session. If I do a 6 hour squat marathon where I max out repeatedly, take dozens of sets to failure, and just generally beat myself up, this isnā€™t generally going to be effective, especially if I do it day after day. Thatā€™s mainly because there is no physical way I can recover from it, if I can finish the training session at all.

But what if, as promised, I am fully recovered the next day? If that just means that I am as strong and muscular (and as uninjured) as I was before the session, the superpower is worthless. I might as well have not done the session at all. I think most would agree that ā€œfully recoveredā€ from a session (or at least at the end of a training cycle), would ideally mean that I have built muscle and increased my strength. But by how much? What does it mean to be ā€œfully recoveredā€ from 30 sets of squats taken to failure on a daily basis? There really is no answer as far as I can tell.

Never have to train again.

As much as I love training, there are definitely times I wish I could just take a long break, be sedentary and not lose anything. Never HAVE to workout again doesnā€™t mean I CANā€™T workout

Also, I enjoy food too much. Cooking/eating is a big part of life. Hard to really appreciate food if youā€™re satiated all the time
