Ok Veeky Forums, two questions.
How much of that was just additional motivation from wanting to impress a cute girl, opposed to previous workouts paying off with an increase to my stamina?
she was not impressed by your cardio but the power of "girls are watching" is not to be underestimated. hahaha fucking cardio.
Zachary Perry
was both, but mostly motivation.
a lot of conditioning is neurological. Just convincing your brain that you could go longer and harder.
Rather than listen to your brain tell you to stop because you've "had enough", you were distracted and/or motivated by the dumb slut you fooled yourself into thinking was looking at you in your peripheral.

This is why I love running popular routes on weekends. The qt mire is a tremendous driving force. I'll be damned if I'm going to be walking when a qt runs by me.

>haha fucking cardio What's so funny? Only joke I see is you, probably some big liftfag freak, thinking cardio is a joke.
Fact: cardio is all exercise all the time. There are no breaks. It's just you and your own body and mind against the clock.
Fact: if you lift for an hour, you only have you hand on the weight for 15 minutes, a measely quarter of the time, while everything else is posturing trying to look cool and trying to catch your breath because you can't walk a flight of stairs without feeling exhausted
Low reps and low reps makes you a fucking bitch
Body weight muscular endurance is even more impressive

She kept looking over because of your loud mouthbreathing.

I love cardio because you can do better every single session without exception. You can push as hard as you're mentally able and fuck what your body thinks.

So those numbers are impressive? Nice. I wasn't sure. Also I'm not lying.

>he doesn't go to a gym that has an indoor track But seriously, once it warms up try running outside. I think it's a lot harder to run outside than on a treadmill because the treadmill stays constant and forces you to run at the same pace. It's harder to control in my opinion.
Jonathan Butler
>projecting this hard
Sebastian Barnes
Shut the fuck up retard
Trust me I know running outside is more difficult. I'm sticking to the treadmill for now because: it's cold outside, qties love the gym, and because I just started running and I want to get in the hang of things first

Yes it does and girls do talk about that. A female friend of mine exclusivley dated powerlifters, her current bf is a martial arts cardio bunny twink and she constantly talks about how much better the sex is.
