If you haven't already, check out a couple Morley Robbins interviews from the last few years. He's onto something big, IMHO. The major players are magnesium, copper, retinol, and the biggest protein in the human body, which nobody knows. Go ahead, ask around. It is odd medical professionals aren't taught the most complex protein in the human body, isn't it? It is ceruloplasmin with 1046 amino acids and up to 8 coppers. It does too much so it is kept in the shadows. Translated into English it means BLUE BLOOD.

@@TheBioneer so I've never watched this actual video before (I'm like 30 seconds in now) but last month I actually started long-distance running every week because of your videos! In a lot of them you mention this or that positive effect of running so I just had to. I also started to include a to-failure low-resistance high-rep dropset at the end of each of my workouts! It got me out of a year long plateau, I'm already seeing gains!
It’s a great feeling tapping out guys at the gym when they are all gassed out. Cardio is king for athletes and the average joe. Strength train, but do not neglect the heart and also the spirit and mind through meditation. Love the video
I remember 2 summers ago, I started running and I could only run for 5 minutes, by the end of that summer I was able to run for 30 minutes, so don't give up, It's just about being constant!
It depends on your aims though. Yeah, Goggins is muscular to an extent, but largely he looks muscular because he is so lean. He doesn’t have bodybuilder size muscles.
@@willmosse3684 you're right, he isn't bodybuilder sized but that's because that would weigh him down as he's training for maximum endurance. But he is strong though.
Running just isn't as fun for me at 240lbs as it was at 170. That being said I've found that regular cardio does wonders for recovery rate and work load capacity at the gym.
Running isn't for everyone thats for sure. I know your comment was 2 years ago but always consider if running is too much weight bearing, try biking, ellipticals, swimming or even jogging in water as great supplements that work your body in a similar way to achieve steady state 👌
@@OSeanSanO I believe that that's an excuse. Running is too fundamental, it's actually THE fundamental human movement, some people are just to lazy, or just don't put the effort in.
@@chubbymike3372 Its not an excuse. People get old. Arthritis is the inevitable breakdown of the human body and some go through surgeries. Theres people that can't do weight bearing exercises as hard as running. I work in a PT clinic and it's very common. Among healthy and unhealthy people, running isn't the ONLY solution. There's literally nothing wrong with doing swimming, elliptical or bike to replace running. Aerobic training is Aerobic training. Everyone also has their own goals in life, running doesn't have to be the fitness goal an individual is trying to achieve. Its not being lazy when an individual chooses to perform a different bout of exercise to gain similar benefits that running gives. The most important one being the strength of the heart.
@@OSeanSanO I meant 'fairly' healthy young people who state that 'running is just not for them',sounds like they are blaming their genetics or so... If you don't wat to run,say the truth, because it takes disciplin from those who do
Myostatin reduction on Chromosome 2q32.2 prevents muscle breakdown for release of glycogen. Huge help. Remember this video from over a year ago. A channel with sustained quality.
More like 2-3 with modern technology. Most of this is already out there. You got to find it and match it up. Fortunately bioneer did the heavy lifting for us
I run 20-35m 4-6x per week and I swim 15-20m 2-3x per week. I’m a bodybuilder at 5’7 ~150lbs 15-16%bf I do cardio to maintain my bodyweight and not gain fat. And I these cardio sessions help me a lot with recovery. The running helps my core, chest and legs recover more quickly. The swimming helps the whole body recover. Note, I eat 4-5x per day and I always have food before lifting, running/swimming. So my body never runs out of glycogen because I’m not running for very long periods of time. My point is, so your cardio it will help you recover much more quickly
I love running outside and I love weight training in the gym. I don’t need to run a sub 3 marathon nor bench 2x my body weight so I’m happy with the balance I’ve found. I feel like that balance is functional AND it gives me good blood test results when I go to the doc. Seems most guys want to excel at one or the other.
I have a watch that tracks my runs and I have ran 17 miles in August 76.2 miles in September and 85.9 miles in October. In October is when I tried to run a half marathon 13.1 miles I managed 13.0 in 2:02:31 seconds
Great job explaining what has become a common myth ! You were interesting and informative ! I'm a certified personal trainer and a serious martial artist who has been running for 35 plus years .My knees are fine and I have a resting heart rate of 52 beats a minute ...no I'm not thin because I also lift weights and do body weight exercises .I am medium build like a model ...oh I'm 62 !
I was a natural bodybuilder years and I did exactly what he said, I got to 250 pounds naturally. You are very right at what you say. I thank you for all your free info your giving to assist people to become healthier. Regards Mohammed osman
Man I learn so much from your videos. I had literally never heard of parasympathetic tone before or the fact that your heart ventricle can change size. Fascinating
This is the best explanation of the value of steady state cardio that I've heard, thanks :) Though you could've said something about work capacity - how cardio can help you to be able to do more lifting and with shorter rest periods.
@@TheBioneer i enjoy your videos so i hope this isnt unwelcome but im under the impression that weight training increases the left ventricle (pressures of valsalva etc) and that steady state cardio or other cardio will increase the size of the heart evenly, mainly effecting stroke volume. so is there a way you can correct the video?
If you’re interested in a deeper look of this very topic look up Dr Andy Galpin: does cardio kill gains, he does a whole lecture about the mechanisms at play in both cardiovascular stimulation and hypertrophy stimulation and how they interfere with each other. Essentially, mitochondrial stimulation represses muscle growth, but that reaction peaks for two or three hours post training and tapers off after 6 or so hours. So a healthy strategy is to split both training methods into morning and evening sessions or focus on each on alternating days
Really appreciate this video, I've seen so many videos saying that you shouldn't do cardio lately. I started running late last year and I'm in my 50's. It's helped me lose weight, build muscle and massively improved my stamina when I'm doing other types of exercise.
Best physical shape I was ever in was during my football playing days. Practice everyday which included about an hour and a half at least of conditioning every practice was great. Granted we ran sprints and mostly were up to 50 yards but occasionally we would surpass that. Doing that everyday along with the beating of regular practice was great. Miss those days bc now it’s difficult to get that level of conditioning.
My philosophy is to always change it up. Adaptability is key. You need to be able to sprint (HIIT). You need to be able to run a long distance (steady state). You need to be able to lift heavy weight. And you need endurance. Train all of these things and you will find your rhythm. For instance, I train in BJJ and Muay Thai, because fighting is more than either, and definitely some of both. Hope that makes sense.
I did a couple months of BJJ and I’m about to switch to Muay Thai. I feel like if I’m ever caught in a bad situation that I’m forced to fight my way out of, jiu jitsu would be a bad idea. Boxing/Muay Thai would actually help me fend off multiple attackers
Hey dude I run in that park too. Didn't realise you were local to me. To think I tread in the steps of UTube Bioneer superstar. Wow what a motivation. Cheers mate . The cardio stuff makes a lot of sense we were designed to be long distance runners tracking and hunting. But Ocado has its place too.
Great video. Everything in this video is spot-on. HIIT is a great way to get results fast, however steady-state cardio is necessary to support continued progress, among other things.
I’m going to second everything he said in this video. Especially the doing all these things for a healthy overall body composition. Long ago I gave up on the aesthetic part and focused on various training methods and nutrition. Over time, which is what our goal should be, fat disappears while building endurance, lean muscle, flexibility, mobility, and longevity. If all these things are are covered in your training, the aesthetic part takes care of itself.
I worked out for years thinking I was a hard gainer, but the reallity is I just had a poor. I then tried the Agoge diet, and started seeing much faster and better results.
Came back to this video years later. As i've grown more mature i appreciate the bioneers content even more. I'm so glad this channel shaped my training
@@CursedWheelieBin i wanna just come with a comeback or some shit but i know it changes nothing. So instead i wanna ask: what was the point of this comment? I express my appreciation of a channel that helped me with my training. Is saying you've advanced after years have passed to pat yourself on the back?
Found your channel via Habit52. Soooo glad. The cardio vs muscle burning question has been going on a long time in various theatres of information. I agree with your points and feel happier now, mixing training up. Subscribed.
Something i find useful for cardio (specifically heart health) is changing the intensity of the run in intervals. For example if i do a 30 min run in the morning, the first 5-10 mins are at a comfortable pace,, then I'll go as fast as I can maintain for 5 mins, then slow down, speed up, back and forth, ending with a sprint at the end. It's also great for build that mind over matter cause when you're already gassed the last thing your body wants is a 1 min sprint
One thing id like to add in terms of running, run on your toes. It builds muscles on your calves, lets you run faster and longer, also its much easier on the lower back, knees etc. People are suprised when they ask about what I do for my calves and I say just running lol.
@@Terror1Void Some runners buy minimalist/barefoot shoes then run the only way they know (which they take for granted), which is landing on the heels, then loudly complain that minimalist/barefoot is an overhyped scam, that it's actually unhealthy because it wrecks your knees, etc. You'd think that the fact that it's so knee-wrecking and heel-wrecking would make them try to land on the forefoot, which is of course what the human body is made for, but apparently the cultural conditioning towards landing on the heels is so strong that they find the notion of landing on the forefoot absurd.
That was brilliant! I've seen loads of videos which try to explain the relationship between cardio work and muscle loss/ gain but none as clear or informative as this. Subbed.
I have been running everday now with my water shoes. I would say it burns my foot because I have been generating heat and unconditoned to doing barefoot running. I live in the city where needles, glass shards, and rocks are bad. But I do say it builds more muscle. Then I also look more masculine and energetic. There are debates on how skip roping burns more calorie than running. Plus swimming burns more than running. Coming from a martial art background; I emphasize stratrgy, creativity, and quarantine training because I see my own goals. Thanks to you and the internet that I wish to do more fitness even I am self coached.
1 year after the comment of this video, I finally got my whitin cross trainers (barefoot shoes I'm guessing) that running in colder weather has gotten easier. I will suggest anyone to try conditioning themselves using barefoot shoes. Like feeling the world around you as if you own a home. From my own experience, wearing just a socks or glove outside is a completely different experience. Most of my foundational strength were developed thanks to the floor we all have and walk on.
Very informative video. I love to lift and love to run. Got banned on reddit for asking questions about cardio on various lifting subreddits. It has boggled my mind that anyone would skip the benefits of cardio for the cardiovascular and central nervous system. Thanks for pointing that out!
Dude fascinating video, you definitely had me right at the title. You make some really good points, and I find myself slipping into thinking about short term gains more often than I would like to admit. And then not considering the health benefits that you're talking about. But you're right! I have always said my whole approach to fitness is that it's a lifelong pursuit so we have to be considering building a strong foundation that will be more likely to get us better results. I've definitely been incorporating more low impact steady state cardio so as to avoid additional stress to my needs. I've had trouble in the past with them. But I do still enjoy running. Have you found any other forms of steady state that you have enjoyed? Thanks for the content!
I've got one problem with running. I've done quite some sports in my life including martials arts, bodybuilding, skiing, swimming etc. No sport has caused me such a problematic injury as running. I had problems with knee joints after running (which I eventually overcame). IMHO, biking, jump-rope or running on a treadmill is better than on the street. But that's my opinion. Would be nice to hear your comment, Bioneer!
Great video. You explained it very well. I may not have listened if it weren't for the fact that YOU do cardio and you are huge. Thank you for sharing this information.
Heading out for a 10k now. Raining so peaked mesh cap to keep it off the face and light jacket. One earphone for podcast from watch also giving stats updates. Rain means even less people around :-) Bow, London but Olympic Park, canals and rivers...good for MH too. Great channel, thank you @getonwithityoufattoad
I appreciate this video, for it shows that while cardio may eat away at very little muscle mass, It's better for your muscles in the long run, for it lowers the one thing that eats at your muscle the most: Myostatin. Thank you for bringing attention to this.
Very well put together, time to realise that the reason you support the no cardio narrative is: - Too lazy to do cardio - cognitive dissonance resulting in searching out conflicting narratives
I think fitness is about vitality. You need to run to get the blood pumping to your organs, your brain, and throughout your whole body. Just a guess, but I think that enables the pathways throughout your body to open up for blood to oxygenate and distribute nutrition throughout. As well, mobility is very important to. Its probably just personal opinion, but I think your body shouldn't just be a block of muscles. All the systems need to work together to create a healthy, optimal human. That means stretch, cardio, lift, and relax (mindfully). It all helps.
yea its my fitness philosophy asswell. Don't care to get super big, I like to feel good, look good and be mobile. being shredded and atlethic is the best look IMO
For some reason, you kind of look like a younger and taller version of Peter Dinklage. Brilliant video, by the way. Thank you for the great information, and keep up the excellent work!
I'm cool with steady state cardio, but like doing laps around empty soccer fields so no one can see how out of breath I am. I'm up to about 1 hour slow jogging, but on one side of the field I go faster.
@@MrCmon113 I once made the mistake of running an entire mile without any training. I ended up collapsing on the trail and was later whisked away on a golf cart sounding like a zombie. Wonderful times.
@@S3NDP13 that's gonna be me today. Smoke a pack a day and try run. Literally 5x more painful than any weight lifting because you genuinely feel like you're dying lmao
Good advice there! You get the best bang for your buck if you combine the two. Strength training for burning fat and building muscle, and cardio for the heart, general endurance and capillarization.
Great explanation. Steady state running has gotten such a bad rap. I was someone that had amazing cardio and liked to be able to outwork my buff bros due to habitual running , 3x a week at least, and sometimes even swimming 40 laps after weight training. I feel like I fell for the HITT and weightlifting only trap. Mostly because others commenting that I was too skinny...Now , yes Im stronger, buffer, maybe even sexier but I just dont feel like my insides are healthier, also my stress level feels higher now. I will now make sure to get more relaxed type running in and not listen to my I ego. Size isnt everything, thats what she said. lol
Very informative video :) How many times a week would you recommend doing this alongside a lighting programme, and for how long without being detrimental to muscle building? Keep up the good work :)
Thanks a lot :-D That depends on you personally but it doesn't have to be a lot. I run 5 miles once a week and on top of my regular workouts, that has led to consistent improvement in my RHR which has led to better sleep, recovery and energy!
Great information. Question: I do a lot of fast walking interspersed with bouts of fast running uphill. Do you think that's sufficient? I was hoping to combine interval training with light steady-state cardio. I'm older and I'm leary of running for long periods of time on flat ground because of joint problems.
My man! Is it somehow possible to get everything you say in this video in written format? I work at a school and I seriously want to be able to educate my students in a more deeper content such as yours. Thanks man, I'm learning and developing everyday because of you.
Honestly the amount I have learnt from watching your videos is amazing your so good at breaking it down to simpler terms I get so confused by others I have watched or listened to this is easy to digest and understand thank you very much
Running kills my knees, two years of squatting and dead-ing have never given me a problem though. I also used to run 25+miles a week around 4 years ago. I'm not overweight so that's not the problem... Any advice?
nathan van der Riet when running, don't land with your heels, land with either the middle of your foot or toes. Push with your glutes into the ground, not quads and finally push through your big toe as much as possible. Taking these tips and running barefoot once a week fixed my knee problems. If nothing works, see a doctor.
Adequate warmups would be beneficial as well. Making sure to get the blood moving before running by stretching and getting some short jogs before starting the run.
I've started skipping/jumping rope (uk/usa). Its very difficult to begin with but it's great cardio. You can do it inside on days with bad weather depending on how high the ceilings are
@@JosueLopez-kk9us I guess it is once a certain level of fitness is achieved. People can skip steadily for an hour or so. Or you could do it intensly for short intervals also. Im pretty unfit at the moment so it is always short and intense
I'll save you 9 minutes of bio-chemistry lessons: Running can burn muscle, but being healthy is better to build muscle, so long-term the pros outweigh the cons.
Cardio combine with lifting makes me feel like a god, I just have to make sure I eat enough calories otherwise too much weight will come off. That's why people get smaller and weaker because their macros are off.
@@berosar No, no its not. Normal milk, Yes. Chocolate milk, No. That's called dirty bulking. Dirty bulking is called dirty bulking because you'll put on more fat mass, than muscle mass. It's also TERRIBLE for your health! Health & Fitness are two different things.
Makes sense When I use to run track, building muscle and getting stronger was much easier since my work capacity was much higher do to better conditioning. Going to start running again.
I started running around two weeks ago twice a week but I have to take it easy because my knees hurt. I don't really get exhausted since I do other cardio at home. And my heart beat at rest is between 58-63 BPM.
What I’ve been doing to try and incorporate running into my life is I carry a coin with me on my walk to the gym. It’s about 2 miles. I finish my workout and instead of just walking home I tell one of the people at the gym to call my coin flip. What they call dictates weather or not I run home instead of walking. It has helped a lot with the routine of running and trying to find time to do it outside of my bodybuilding lifestyle. I recommend it.
@@otallono which helps cut calories, which can and will make you leaner. If your doing nothing else and that was his point. Come on man, why u trying to argue
@@gokublack5620 actually doing cardio encourages your body to store more fat. Nobody should cardio in order to cut calories, there is faster and far more efficient way to do it like hiit. Do cardio for your heart health.
Swimming is awesome. It's a form of resistance cardio that works nearly every muscle in the body. That said, the interference principle does apply a little here. I saw an interesting study that found that swimmers were worse at jumping than non-athletes. Although their muscles were strong, they were adapted for swimming, not running and jumping. Don't let that put you off though, just use it with other forms of training for the best cross-modal performance :-)
As a swimmer I know for most body types, this does depend on how u want to swim wether it’s leisure so slow and not so intense or very intense and timing ur rlly feeling the burn and in ur arms and legs, when u swim very fast and going hard (sprinting) u r more likely to build muscle in ur arms, core, hamstrings and glutes as long as u eat the correct foods so like protein, good fats and carbohydrates like brown pasta. If u chose to swim like this u must eat like an athlete, so big dishes but 3 a day with healthy snacks in between! Don’t count calories macros or whatever just make sure protein is high that’s key! If u chose to swim leisurely, u r more likely to only lose fat and not gain muscle as it’s not much intensity going on u r just sweating not feeling the water pull against u or ur body.
I SWEAR. I LOOKED THIS UP FOR SO LONG AND ALL I GOT WERE MIXED ANSWERS. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS QUESTION ANSWERED CONCISELY WITH AN EXPLANATION FOR WHY. GOD DAMN
I used to like jogging but then i bought a bicycle and its a lot more fun. I dont want to cycle in my "fatburning" zone tho, but go as fast as possible xD
@@wordupmagazines32 Yeah that's true. Also if u were just looking to lose fat you would have to cycle at a pace were it keeps your heart rate not too high so your just burning fat. Also cycling you would have to go particularly longer distances as in comparison to running
@G L O C K Yeah, it all depends on if you have low or high glucose/glycogen levels. I forget which one it is or if it's both, but once you get low on glucose/glycogen your body has to burn fat no matter what your pulse is.
Thank you, very informative and useful. But what about sprinters? They're often very muscular and obviously do anaerobic, high intensity interval running.

I remember 2 summers ago, I started running and I could only run for 5 minutes, by the end of that summer I was able to run for 30 minutes, so don't give up, It's just about being constant!
Ha ha, yeah, mine current endurance as well!
Classic 😁
Lmao 🤣
Well look at David Goggins he runs like 200 miles a week and is still muscular, so any serious athlete will do cardiovascular exercise.
@John wayne That man is tough as fuck.
It depends on your aims though. Yeah, Goggins is muscular to an extent, but largely he looks muscular because he is so lean. He doesn’t have bodybuilder size muscles.
@@willmosse3684 you're right, he isn't bodybuilder sized but that's because that would weigh him down as he's training for maximum endurance. But he is strong though.
Damhnaic - yeah, strong and very high endurance for sure. So depends on your aims.
He does not run 200 miles a week
Running just isn't as fun for me at 240lbs as it was at 170. That being said I've found that regular cardio does wonders for recovery rate and work load capacity at the gym.
Jim Giant I went from 245 to 208
Running isn't for everyone thats for sure. I know your comment was 2 years ago but always consider if running is too much weight bearing, try biking, ellipticals, swimming or even jogging in water as great supplements that work your body in a similar way to achieve steady state 👌
@@OSeanSanO I believe that that's an excuse. Running is too fundamental, it's actually THE fundamental human movement, some people are just to lazy, or just don't put the effort in.
@@chubbymike3372 Its not an excuse. People get old. Arthritis is the inevitable breakdown of the human body and some go through surgeries. Theres people that can't do weight bearing exercises as hard as running. I work in a PT clinic and it's very common.
Among healthy and unhealthy people, running isn't the ONLY solution. There's literally nothing wrong with doing swimming, elliptical or bike to replace running. Aerobic training is Aerobic training. Everyone also has their own goals in life, running doesn't have to be the fitness goal an individual is trying to achieve. Its not being lazy when an individual chooses to perform a different bout of exercise to gain similar benefits that running gives. The most important one being the strength of the heart.
@@OSeanSanO I meant 'fairly' healthy young people who state that 'running is just not for them',sounds like they are blaming their genetics or so... If you don't wat to run,say the truth, because it takes disciplin from those who do
Myostatin reduction on Chromosome 2q32.2 prevents muscle breakdown for release of glycogen. Huge help. Remember this video from over a year ago. A channel with sustained quality.
The amount of information in this video is more than 13 years of school
More like 2-3 with modern technology. Most of this is already out there. You got to find it and match it up. Fortunately bioneer did the heavy lifting for us
School taught ya the fundamentals my guy
school teaches more of how to learn and be a person than specific knowledge, at least until early-late high school or college
@PerrySport perhaps you went to a bad school? if a an elementary school is good then thats what it should be teaching
PerrySport, all science to do with biology has contradictions
No need to apologize bioneer. Reason I love your channel. Raw, uncut and straight to the point. Informative as always
I run 20-35m 4-6x per week and I swim 15-20m 2-3x per week. I’m a bodybuilder at 5’7 ~150lbs 15-16%bf I do cardio to maintain my bodyweight and not gain fat. And I these cardio sessions help me a lot with recovery. The running helps my core, chest and legs recover more quickly. The swimming helps the whole body recover. Note, I eat 4-5x per day and I always have food before lifting, running/swimming. So my body never runs out of glycogen because I’m not running for very long periods of time. My point is, so your cardio it will help you recover much more quickly
Honestly do everything that improves health, cardio, strength train, stretch. 💪
6:41 - 7:03 this is one of the many reasons why I watch your videos.

I love running outside and I love weight training in the gym. I don’t need to run a sub 3 marathon nor bench 2x my body weight so I’m happy with the balance I’ve found. I feel like that balance is functional AND it gives me good blood test results when I go to the doc. Seems most guys want to excel at one or the other.
facts man,i also run outside and do calisthenics, at the end of the day the goal is to be healthy and i feel really good doing a combination of both.
I have a watch that tracks my runs and I have ran 17 miles in August 76.2 miles in September and 85.9 miles in October.
In October is when I tried to run a half marathon 13.1 miles I managed 13.0 in 2:02:31 seconds
It’s almost as though people have different goals

@Mohammed Uddin it doesn't matter when u run
Man I learn so much from your videos. I had literally never heard of parasympathetic tone before or the fact that your heart ventricle can change size. Fascinating
This is the best explanation of the value of steady state cardio that I've heard, thanks :)
Though you could've said something about work capacity - how cardio can help you to be able to do more lifting and with shorter rest periods.
Thanks :-D And yeah, that is another very good reason and you really do feel the difference. Maybe something to bring up in a future vid!
@@TheBioneer i enjoy your videos so i hope this isnt unwelcome but im under the impression that weight training increases the left ventricle (pressures of valsalva etc) and that steady state cardio or other cardio will increase the size of the heart evenly, mainly effecting stroke volume. so is there a way you can correct the video?
but thats propably because of the improvement in oxygen delivery and fat metabolism like he said, or are there any other reasons?
I was very curious about this topic and was happy to find you already had a video covering it. Thanks!
Very glad to help, thanks!
If you’re interested in a deeper look of this very topic look up Dr Andy Galpin: does cardio kill gains, he does a whole lecture about the mechanisms at play in both cardiovascular stimulation and hypertrophy stimulation and how they interfere with each other.
Essentially, mitochondrial stimulation represses muscle growth, but that reaction peaks for two or three hours post training and tapers off after 6 or so hours. So a healthy strategy is to split both training methods into morning and evening sessions or focus on each on alternating days
Thank you
Thanks for the info my friend!
Really appreciate this video, I've seen so many videos saying that you shouldn't do cardio lately. I started running late last year and I'm in my 50's. It's helped me lose weight, build muscle and massively improved my stamina when I'm doing other types of exercise.
Best physical shape I was ever in was during my football playing days. Practice everyday which included about an hour and a half at least of conditioning every practice was great. Granted we ran sprints and mostly were up to 50 yards but occasionally we would surpass that. Doing that everyday along with the beating of regular practice was great. Miss those days bc now it’s difficult to get that level of conditioning.
I wish there were more opportunities for grown ups to play football or other games just for fun. When I look for clubs it's usually competitive.
My philosophy is to always change it up. Adaptability is key. You need to be able to sprint (HIIT). You need to be able to run a long distance (steady state). You need to be able to lift heavy weight. And you need endurance. Train all of these things and you will find your rhythm.
For instance, I train in BJJ and Muay Thai, because fighting is more than either, and definitely some of both. Hope that makes sense.
I did a couple months of BJJ and I’m about to switch to Muay Thai. I feel like if I’m ever caught in a bad situation that I’m forced to fight my way out of, jiu jitsu would be a bad idea. Boxing/Muay Thai would actually help me fend off multiple attackers
I love this channel for it's delivery and content
Hey dude I run in that park too. Didn't realise you were local to me. To think I tread in the steps of UTube Bioneer superstar. Wow what a motivation.
Cheers mate . The cardio stuff makes a lot of sense we were designed to be long distance runners tracking and hunting. But Ocado has its place too.
Great video. Everything in this video is spot-on.
HIIT is a great way to get results fast, however steady-state cardio is necessary to support continued progress, among other things.
Just watched this for the first time. It needs more views because it is spot on.
Getting my cardio up also helped me with things like squads. I often got the feeling my heart and lungs are giving up, not the muscles in my legs
Modern man even run holding a camera lol
Guilherme Menezes haha bless him!! Keeping it real!!!!!!
Ha ha, he dumb. Me hold rock while run, rock no break when you fall.
I’m going to second everything he said in this video. Especially the doing all these things for a healthy overall body composition. Long ago I gave up on the aesthetic part and focused on various training methods and nutrition. Over time, which is what our goal should be, fat disappears while building endurance, lean muscle, flexibility, mobility, and longevity. If all these things are are covered in your training, the aesthetic part takes care of itself.
I worked out for years thinking I was a hard gainer, but the reallity is I just had a poor. I then tried the Agoge diet, and started seeing much faster and better results.
definitely get this, works great
I honestly didn’t expect much from this. But afterwards added it to my favorites because this is all I need to know on cardio.
Exactly is
Came back to this video years later. As i've grown more mature i appreciate the bioneers content even more. I'm so glad this channel shaped my training
Did you dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back or did your elite level mobility prevent that?
@@CursedWheelieBin i wanna just come with a comeback or some shit but i know it changes nothing. So instead i wanna ask: what was the point of this comment? I express my appreciation of a channel that helped me with my training. Is saying you've advanced after years have passed to pat yourself on the back?
Great content. So good to have unbiased, evidence based fitness advice on UA-cam.
Is that sarcasm?
Found your channel via Habit52.
Soooo glad.
The cardio vs muscle burning question has been going on a long time in various theatres of information. I agree with your points and feel happier now, mixing training up.
Subscribed.
Something i find useful for cardio (specifically heart health) is changing the intensity of the run in intervals. For example if i do a 30 min run in the morning, the first 5-10 mins are at a comfortable pace,, then I'll go as fast as I can maintain for 5 mins, then slow down, speed up, back and forth, ending with a sprint at the end. It's also great for build that mind over matter cause when you're already gassed the last thing your body wants is a 1 min sprint
I use highly varied terrain for that, I sprint downhill and basically do stairclimbers on the way up, with a solid pace at level ground
Not many channels have this kind of information that most people want to have.
Thank you. I'm trying to exercise properly.
One thing id like to add in terms of running, run on your toes. It builds muscles on your calves, lets you run faster and longer, also its much easier on the lower back, knees etc. People are suprised when they ask about what I do for my calves and I say just running lol.
If you wear minimalist shoes, it forces you to run with a forefoot strike.
@@Terror1Void Some runners buy minimalist/barefoot shoes then run the only way they know (which they take for granted), which is landing on the heels, then loudly complain that minimalist/barefoot is an overhyped scam, that it's actually unhealthy because it wrecks your knees, etc.
You'd think that the fact that it's so knee-wrecking and heel-wrecking would make them try to land on the forefoot, which is of course what the human body is made for, but apparently the cultural conditioning towards landing on the heels is so strong that they find the notion of landing on the forefoot absurd.
That was brilliant! I've seen loads of videos which try to explain the relationship between cardio work and muscle loss/ gain but none as clear or informative as this. Subbed.
I have been running everday now with my water shoes. I would say it burns my foot because I have been generating heat and unconditoned to doing barefoot running. I live in the city where needles, glass shards, and rocks are bad. But I do say it builds more muscle. Then I also look more masculine and energetic. There are debates on how skip roping burns more calorie than running. Plus swimming burns more than running. Coming from a martial art background; I emphasize stratrgy, creativity, and quarantine training because I see my own goals. Thanks to you and the internet that I wish to do more fitness even I am self coached.
Also note I do change cushioning over time with trail running shoes.
1 year after the comment of this video, I finally got my whitin cross trainers (barefoot shoes I'm guessing) that running in colder weather has gotten easier. I will suggest anyone to try conditioning themselves using barefoot shoes. Like feeling the world around you as if you own a home. From my own experience, wearing just a socks or glove outside is a completely different experience. Most of my foundational strength were developed thanks to the floor we all have and walk on.
Very informative video. I love to lift and love to run. Got banned on reddit for asking questions about cardio on various lifting subreddits. It has boggled my mind that anyone would skip the benefits of cardio for the cardiovascular and central nervous system. Thanks for pointing that out!
Reddit fitness is like a totalitarian state, reeeeaally not a fan of that attitude!
Dude fascinating video, you definitely had me right at the title. You make some really good points, and I find myself slipping into thinking about short term gains more often than I would like to admit. And then not considering the health benefits that you're talking about. But you're right! I have always said my whole approach to fitness is that it's a lifelong pursuit so we have to be considering building a strong foundation that will be more likely to get us better results. I've definitely been incorporating more low impact steady state cardio so as to avoid additional stress to my needs. I've had trouble in the past with them. But I do still enjoy running. Have you found any other forms of steady state that you have enjoyed? Thanks for the content!
I've got one problem with running. I've done quite some sports in my life including martials arts, bodybuilding, skiing, swimming etc. No sport has caused me such a problematic injury as running. I had problems with knee joints after running (which I eventually overcame). IMHO, biking, jump-rope or running on a treadmill is better than on the street.
But that's my opinion. Would be nice to hear your comment, Bioneer!
Great video. You explained it very well. I may not have listened if it weren't for the fact that YOU do cardio and you are huge. Thank you for sharing this information.
Heading out for a 10k now. Raining so peaked mesh cap to keep it off the face and light jacket. One earphone for podcast from watch also giving stats updates.

WOW VERY DETAILED AND FULL OF THINKING, LOGIC AND KNWLEDGE !!
Thanks veru much man, cheeres from france
I appreciate this video, for it shows that while cardio may eat away at very little muscle mass, It's better for your muscles in the long run, for it lowers the one thing that eats at your muscle the most: Myostatin.
Thank you for bringing attention to this.
Can you please explain more about how myostatin eats the muscle?
@@prestigedolls1296 No, but Google can.
Ok thanks 😂
Very well put together, time to realise that the reason you support the no cardio narrative is:
- Too lazy to do cardio
- cognitive dissonance resulting in searching out conflicting narratives
I think fitness is about vitality. You need to run to get the blood pumping to your organs, your brain, and throughout your whole body. Just a guess, but I think that enables the pathways throughout your body to open up for blood to oxygenate and distribute nutrition throughout. As well, mobility is very important to. Its probably just personal opinion, but I think your body shouldn't just be a block of muscles. All the systems need to work together to create a healthy, optimal human. That means stretch, cardio, lift, and relax (mindfully). It all helps.
yea its my fitness philosophy asswell. Don't care to get super big, I like to feel good, look good and be mobile. being shredded and atlethic is the best look IMO

Wow shocking on how good your video is . many questions I had you answered .except on many days a week and how long
I'm cool with steady state cardio, but like doing laps around empty soccer fields so no one can see how out of breath I am. I'm up to about 1 hour slow jogging, but on one side of the field I go faster.
That's a form of hiit cardio, good job
I want people to see how out of breath I am. Makes me look like a badass.

Good advice there! You get the best bang for your buck if you combine the two. Strength training for burning fat and building muscle, and cardio for the heart, general endurance and capillarization.
I always jog with a barbell so I can do shoulder presses during cardio
Gotta confuse the muscle
@@AS-bc8fg Shooop ahhh

Thoroughly enjoyed that great information. What a fountain of knowledge this channel is.
Great explanation. Steady state running has gotten such a bad rap. I was someone that had amazing cardio and liked to be able to outwork my buff bros due to habitual running , 3x a week at least, and sometimes even swimming 40 laps after weight training. I feel like I fell for the HITT and weightlifting only trap. Mostly because others commenting that I was too skinny...Now , yes Im stronger, buffer, maybe even sexier but I just dont feel like my insides are healthier, also my stress level feels higher now. I will now make sure to get more relaxed type running in and not listen to my I ego. Size isnt everything, thats what she said. lol
This is why i love youtube, So much free information.
I dunno how I'd feel about training my left ventricle without giving equal time to my right ventricle....
Athlean-X, is that you?
@@kerbalairforce8802 hahahahahahahahaha
Hahaha
I suppose steady-state trains both at the appropriate ratio.
This guys produces informative direction and demonstrations to go with it. Thanks Bioneer
Very informative video :) How many times a week would you recommend doing this alongside a lighting programme, and for how long without being detrimental to muscle building? Keep up the good work :)
Thanks a lot :-D That depends on you personally but it doesn't have to be a lot. I run 5 miles once a week and on top of my regular workouts, that has led to consistent improvement in my RHR which has led to better sleep, recovery and energy!
This channel is so underrated, will probably blow up soon
Great information. Question: I do a lot of fast walking interspersed with bouts of fast running uphill. Do you think that's sufficient? I was hoping to combine interval training with light steady-state cardio. I'm older and I'm leary of running for long periods of time on flat ground because of joint problems.
My man! Is it somehow possible to get everything you say in this video in written format? I work at a school and I seriously want to be able to educate my students in a more deeper content such as yours. Thanks man, I'm learning and developing everyday because of you.
Are you not able to take notes, or can you just not be arsed?
@@CursedWheelieBin can't remember asking you anything.
So how much jogging (frequency, length of the session) would you recommand, if one's main focus is to build muscle and get stronger?
Not much
How much is "not much"
Honestly the amount I have learnt from watching your videos is amazing your so good at breaking it down to simpler terms I get so confused by others I have watched or listened to this is easy to digest and understand thank you very much
Running kills my knees, two years of squatting and dead-ing have never given me a problem though. I also used to run 25+miles a week around 4 years ago. I'm not overweight so that's not the problem... Any advice?
nathan van der Riet when running, don't land with your heels, land with either the middle of your foot or toes. Push with your glutes into the ground, not quads and finally push through your big toe as much as possible. Taking these tips and running barefoot once a week fixed my knee problems. If nothing works, see a doctor.
Mehmet Ali Mesut probably sounds obvious, but you warm up your knees before go running?
Adequate warmups would be beneficial as well. Making sure to get the blood moving before running by stretching and getting some short jogs before starting the run.
Try doing a proper warmup, even up to 20minutes man jump around do bodyweigt squat lunges, move the knees ankles etc
So happy I found this channel!
What books would you recommend reading that goes more in depth about what you just explained
I've started skipping/jumping rope (uk/usa). Its very difficult to begin with but it's great cardio. You can do it inside on days with bad weather depending on how high the ceilings are
is jumping rope steady state cardio?
@@JosueLopez-kk9us I guess it is once a certain level of fitness is achieved. People can skip steadily for an hour or so. Or you could do it intensly for short intervals also. Im pretty unfit at the moment so it is always short and intense
I'll save you 9 minutes of bio-chemistry lessons: Running can burn muscle, but being healthy is better to build muscle, so long-term the pros outweigh the cons.
Thank you😊👏👏
very interesting and informative, thank you. gives me more insight on how my stress and food habits are linked, and how to counter them effectively
Cardio combine with lifting makes me feel like a god, I just have to make sure I eat enough calories otherwise too much weight will come off. That's why people get smaller and weaker because their macros are off.
I don't think so. like a superman maybe.
Same. Calories is a problem. I have to eat 4 times a day just to keep myself healthy.
@PerrySport Bullshit tip, chocolate milk is known as a dirty bulk tip, you'll gain a significant amount of fat in comparison to muscle.
@@RiskTakerzz no chocolate milk and normal milk work good

Dirty bulking is called dirty bulking because you'll put on more fat mass, than muscle mass. It's also TERRIBLE for your health!
Health & Fitness are two different things.
Makes sense
When I use to run track, building muscle and getting stronger was much easier since my work capacity was much higher do to better conditioning. Going to start running again.
So... How much running per session would you recommend for building muscle?
none
Just eat in a caloric surplus and do cardio on days when you don't lift
I started running around two weeks ago twice a week but I have to take it easy because my knees hurt. I don't really get exhausted since I do other cardio at home. And my heart beat at rest is between 58-63 BPM.
I feel like I’ve watched him go through second puberty from when he first started until now.
What I’ve been doing to try and incorporate running into my life is I carry a coin with me on my walk to the gym. It’s about 2 miles. I finish my workout and instead of just walking home I tell one of the people at the gym to call my coin flip. What they call dictates weather or not I run home instead of walking. It has helped a lot with the routine of running and trying to find time to do it outside of my bodybuilding lifestyle. I recommend it.
Plus cardio keeps you lean.
No... it doesn't. Eating below caloric maintenance does. Cardio makes it so your caloric maintenance is slightly higher. (You're burning more)
@@otallono which helps cut calories, which can and will make you leaner. If your doing nothing else and that was his point. Come on man, why u trying to argue
@@gokublack5620 actually doing cardio encourages your body to store more fat. Nobody should cardio in order to cut calories, there is faster and far more efficient way to do it like hiit. Do cardio for your heart health.
@@franckdruart8120 hiit greatly rises the risk of injury. Specially when cutting
@@delacroidnewgen4555 i would love to hear your great explanation
And above all else going out for a steady state run feels great and is good for the mind esp a nice run in the country or on a beach.
The Bioneer What is your take on swimming?
Swimming is awesome. It's a form of resistance cardio that works nearly every muscle in the body. That said, the interference principle does apply a little here. I saw an interesting study that found that swimmers were worse at jumping than non-athletes. Although their muscles were strong, they were adapted for swimming, not running and jumping. Don't let that put you off though, just use it with other forms of training for the best cross-modal performance :-)
As a swimmer I know for most body types, this does depend on how u want to swim wether it’s leisure so slow and not so intense or very intense and timing ur rlly feeling the burn and in ur arms and legs, when u swim very fast and going hard (sprinting) u r more likely to build muscle in ur arms, core, hamstrings and glutes as long as u eat the correct foods so like protein, good fats and carbohydrates like brown pasta. If u chose to swim like this u must eat like an athlete, so big dishes but 3 a day with healthy snacks in between! Don’t count calories macros or whatever just make sure protein is high that’s key! If u chose to swim leisurely, u r more likely to only lose fat and not gain muscle as it’s not much intensity going on u r just sweating not feeling the water pull against u or ur body.

Can you do a Video what the best way is to combine running (sprinting not jogging) and weightlifting in the gym
I used to like jogging but then i bought a bicycle and its a lot more fun. I dont want to cycle in my "fatburning" zone tho, but go as fast as possible xD
Yeah I noticed that, it seems in order to get the same cardio results on a bike you have to go as fast as you can
@@wordupmagazines32 Yeah that's true. Also if u were just looking to lose fat you would have to cycle at a pace were it keeps your heart rate not too high so your just burning fat. Also cycling you would have to go particularly longer distances as in comparison to running
@G L O C K Yeah, it all depends on if you have low or high glucose/glycogen levels. I forget which one it is or if it's both, but once you get low on glucose/glycogen your body has to burn fat no matter what your pulse is.
G L O C K exactly, with most things there are a lot of nuances but with losing weight it's as simple as calories in, calories out.
@G L O C K body pulls energy from muscles before it does fat tho. Cardio can burn muscle, fat, and energy at the same time
I thoroghly enjoyed this video. Thanks for the simplified information ❤
Thank you, very informative and useful. But what about sprinters? They're often very muscular and obviously do anaerobic, high intensity interval running.
Elite sprinters lift lots of heavy weights in the gym. If you look at sprinters before the 80s they weren't particularly muscular.
I found this helpful and interesting. You accomplished your mission!
