Fitness might not lengthen lifespan, but it does for sure improve the quality of life, especially in later years. Better health, less medical issues, no medical bills, they all add to an improved quality of life.
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. There is no win by answering that question. I will admit that my PR for oly snatch is 225.
DEXA scans are the best for really seeing body composition but you cannot get it weekly to see what is going on (unless you are willing to pay up for it). Not sure I can do the 8 hour time frame diet but on ketogenic there are times I miss a meal without realizing it. OLY Snatch....wish I had more flexibility in my hips and shoulders..way behind you dest....
Anyone paying for a DEXA scan doesn't need it. Anyone needing it knows they're overweight. I only try to improve my snatch now as it's such a technique movement. I don't lift for PRs beyond snatch.
My understanding is that it does increase lifespan at least in part because, as you alluded, it helps slow down the onset of age-related medical issues. Together with the quality of life thing, it's a no-brainer.
As you said, perhaps your performance suffered because you were run down from all of the other work you were doing. The 30-30-30 thing you describe sounds really-really-really unappealing. Is that how you normally do all of your exercises? I prefer a considerably faster cadence with continuous, controlled tension to minimize momentum as much as possible. However, for a few of my exercises I start with a few very slow reps (still considerably faster than yours) and then assume a more "normal" pace for the remainder of the set. Some people swear by SuperSlow while some just swear at it. And I've read conflicting reports on its efficacy compared to a more typical, controlled pacing. So for me, it comes down to preference. Just curious, have you tested and compared your results from both approaches?
I haven't thought of IF in terms of longevity. For my purposes, it is a useful means of reducing caloric intake. However, to the extent that it does impact on longevity, how would my more user-friendly 10-hour feeding window compare to an 8-hour one?
Why do you like the snatch so much LOL ... You said all about technique. You atren't lifting for competition are you?
