[QUOTE="timewerx, post: 77528069, member: 314730"] Yes, but in the end, the VO2max of a body builder (BB) is still going to be low. The training, nutrition, and goals of a BB is simply counter-productive to having high VO2max even if they have substantial amount of cardio in their training. And BB's cannot do too much cardio because that would would be counterproductive to their goals - maximizing muscle hypertrophy. In order to get big as they are, BBs tend to be overweight and weight is an important factor to VO2max (heavier is worse). Another factor to VO2max is cardiovascular fitness which you gain through cardio exercises obviously but BBs can't do too much of cardio exercises and substantially less than endurance athletes do. VO2max is the best singular indicator of all-cause mortality. Genetically, I'm high risk to CVD and cancer from both parents. I might join next year but only if I can drop my pace to under 6 min / mile by next year. It's not free to join and It would be better if I actually have good chances of winning to compensate for the costs, including the shoes. These things aren't cheap to me. I definitely got the lungs for it. But whether my legs are strong enough for the activity is yet to be seen. If my bones are going to get stronger and my strides are going to get faster. I'm not running all the time for now. Just once a week. The other days I do low impact cardio like skating, cycling, and running upstairs (is actually low impact if you skip running downstairs by using the lift on the way down). To allow my bones to heal and adapt and save my running shoes from wear. [/QUOTE]
