What users say
Verbatim quotes, shortened only — each links to the original discussion.
“I find resistance training especially effective. Quads, glutei, calves, triceps, biceps, shoulders, abs - get them all reasonable sore, and you crash like a baby.”
“Exercise. HIIT and weight lifting, cardio, not so much.”
“You can be very muscular, strong and healthy with 3x/week 40 minute lifting sessions.”
“330 am training time centered around the big movements (deadlifts, pull-ups, presses)”
“Still working out at least 4 days a week and hitting my 10k steps everyday”
