Lift & Live Longer

There's a reason the "just lift" mantra exists here. Besides being the most beneficial single activity for men from a health standpoint (if you want to do other activities/sports that's awesome--lifting will make you better at that sport), there's no better way to increase testosterone and build the most aesthetic physique you possibly can. Especially once you get serious about your diet & sleep.

Muscle is just armor against weakness!

I'll just say as a total noob, after hitting the gym pretty hard 2 days last week, I already feel tons more energetic.

We already have studies showing this. At least now they're getting some public awareness. This one is from 2012

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22820447

RESULTS: during follow-up, 397 participants died. Lean mass was associated negatively with mortality in men and women (P < 0.001).

Also, from 2008 http://www.bmj.com/content/337/bmj.a439

Conclusion Muscular strength is inversely and independently associated with death from all causes and cancer in men, even after adjusting for cardiorespiratory fitness and other potential confounders.

This is a X-post and should be tagged as such.

just lifted, lifters are more likely to live an overall healthier lifestyle, and it counts, esp during your 30s , its no secret that people start to drop out during this decade, accelerated aging, poor posture and overweight status.

combine it with intermittent fasting, taking the propper suppss, having good conditioning and good stress response and you will look like the guys in 300. at that period. the male body is that adaptable and its SMV related aging parameters are almost all extrinsic.

you won't exactly get to be huge naturally, injuries, lack of good progress genetics and co will set you back, but you will max out on health all the same.

and this brings me to the last factor, you should really invest in life extension research, I think its more important than your pensions, I am donating 10% of my pension fund (which isn't big at this moment but I'm 24) towards life extension research, in particular Mprize. why is this relevant to lifting you ask? because unless you are in top health you aren't likely to be a first adopter or benefit from those game changing treatments as they will become available in 30-20 years. this is yet another reason to be in top shape. we are entering an era where immortality is before the horizon, but lets not fool ourselves that those benefits will be equally handed out, you will have to be in top shape, with a lot of spare money to get the first meaningful rewards.
