Great video once again James. I really like your take on the vitality point with the 40-50-60-70yo folks. I fully agree that maximum performance and longevity are on different ends of the continuum. In that regard, what do you think of Arthur DeVany's take on this with his "Evolutionary Fitness" essay? Simply put, he talks about high volumes (daily) of low intensity activities (walk, hike, swim, play) coupled with low volumes (2-3x/w) of high intensity work (sprints or heavy weight training). Also very interested in the MED training aspect of it.
Upside Strength, sorry this got missed. i have seen Arts's work for a long while now and was always interested in his take on longevity. to answer what people "should" do is a tough one - as we don't know WHY they are doing it, if someone wants to climb a mountain at 55 years old, and they are sick to start, they will need some adaptation - if someone wants to live till they are 92, and right now they cant get out of bed at 26 years of age due to over reaching - i cannot look into the future, but its not pointing to balance of the physical specimen with those signs at that age...i hope this make sense...as for "general" if there is a term, i believe we are put together to increase our maximal aerobic ability so that we can RECOVER from stress faster than others - we should NOT be doing as much intense shit overall to reach FASTER for health - and just because one study showed something about intervals and its connection to VO2 max, we immediately think its a reason to do intense shit (as if that means better health?) - resistance daily practice along with easy long aerobic work (which comes in MULTIPLE forms like walking and gymnastics, recreational activities and weight lifting, jiu jitsu and jump rope...) i think is the answer for longevity for GENERAL folks - and it does not make intensity with just because someone WANTS IT FASTER...thank you for asking
