LISS (low intensity steady state) cardio is boring man. We all know we're supposed to do "cardio." As lifters, however, many of us find the thought of this idea to be tantamount with torture. There's a reason why you chose the barbell instead of a treadmill. I get it. The good news is there are several different energy systems in the body and as such there are many different means at our disposal in order to improve our levels of general conditioning. Yes, you should do SOMETHING involving movement that makes you breathe heavy, but it doesn't have to be what people traditionally think of as "cardio" and it certainly doesn't have to be boring.
This is where a concept that I call "MIIT" comes into play. MIIT is "moderate intensity interval training," and is essentially a protracted version of a traditional HIIT (high intensity interval training) protocol with slightly different parameters across the board. Combine this MIIT concept with different forms of loaded carries and that is where the true magic starts to happen, especially for guys who have a "lifter's temperament."
All of these ideas and more are explained in detail in the video so be sure to check it out! If you enjoy this style of video and find the content to be informative then please remember to hit the like button, leave a friendly comment, and subscribe to my channel as well. Keep training hard guys!

It's hard for lifters to do LISS since it's a huge mindset change, all or nothing straight into a LISS for an hour or two. But for metabolic health LISS is the best. I think It's cool to be able to run 10, 20, 30 miles or even 50-100miles and still be a super strong mfer
My favorite type of cardio is Bag work, its combines steady state with explosiveness, It also keeps my skills sharp. being strong with Barbell training and staying sharp with boxing will at the very least keep me in good shape if I ever have to defend myself or family. Barbell training is one of the best things I ever started doing, next to martial arts when I was younger.
I run around my 4 ft deep kiddy pool for an hour holding weights and doing breath holds, and then about every 10 mins I go back against the water current I've created lol, may sound funny but it gets me sweaty and my heart pounding
The thing about LISS is, as a guy who hates treadmill, there is a HUUUUGEEEE difference between running in treadmill and running outside. Running outside for me is hundred times more fun than treadmill and just as fun as lifting.
To me the best thing about LISS is just turning off my mind while my body just does its thing. I sometimes study/listen while doing LISS too, its great. I agree with all your points too, mostly the time thing
I love this vid! Super educational. Have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a personalized build up muscle meal plan from them and I love it.
you are slowly discovering crossfit
the idea of short burst duration activity being solely based on the anaerobic energy system is false. a huge percentage of the aerobic system is being used in any movement and its why the term "building your base" is used and its associated with traditional forms of cardio.
Jump rope does the work with minimal space and equipment requirements, it's super fun with a plethora of possibilities for different skills, techniques and intensities (all three energy systems). It does match the lifter's character especially when it's combined with some nice KB work (snatches and c&p are great!), while it's great for your Achilles to build some stiffness and structural integrity for jumpers. I'm surprised that you are not an elite jump-roper yourself man! P.S. Pink wife beaters are unbeatable! 😁
Farmer Carries & Sled Drags saved my conditioning career🔥
There's a parking garage near me that has eight floors. Each floor has a 100 yard hill that's around 12-15% incline.
Great video mate. Very informative
I personally have been doing the "wenning warm up" for months and it's my favourite form of cardio. Increase GPP, tendon/ligament strength, fixes weaknesses, prevents injuries, primes you up, and directly makes the core lifts better. I can't imagine lifting without it anymore. Highly recommend 🔥
I go for walks in the hills with the odd downhill sprint sprinkled in during the walk. We used to do what we called "pole running." We used the spacing of telephone poles to measure off intervals to switch between walking, heel-strike running, and heels-elevated running. I also have a one mile flat walk I do with an adjustable kettle bell. When I don't have 20 minutes I shorten the walk and add more weight and a second kb. Good video.
That tank top is money lol, great video thanks
My favorite cardio is just running my plates (45Lbs/20Kgs) across my basement and back for a couple of rounds. I also enjoy just walking around. Walking is extremely easy, but it adds up over time.
I remember doing something similar after watching your original video on farmers Carry two years ago?

The most annoying thing about LISS in my mind is how long it takes. I have a busy schedule and I simply can't take 2+ hours a day to walk around and accumulate steps. My work is also far too involved to really get it in during the day. The flip side of this coin is that it always feels like (to me) that HIIT interferes far too much with my lifting to make it worth doing together, ala Brian Alsruhe. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place if you're someone with an involved job and in school.
