I always wondered why, when exercising, breathing gets faster and heavier in the first few minutes, then gets slower and easier with increased duration. The decreased need for oxygen would seem to provide a reasonable explanation. Great information all around. Thanks Dave!

[@Stuart.Branson.]

No it's not about the"need" it's about the natural physiology of humans - we are not designed to have our heart rates above resting for more than 10 to 30 seconds. There is no mechanism to support long term heavy breathing. This is why we see many many (unreported) marathon runners drop dead.

I never go to the gym. I do exercise at home, mainly HIIT, 20 mins each time, about four to five times a week. I have a pair of 2kg dumbbell and would lift it for about five minutes after finishing HIIT, but only two to three times a week. I have done this since covid. I have very high skeleton muscle mass and "11 line abs" 😅. When i showed my friends my arm muscle, they would think I went to the gym frequently but indeed I only do exercise at home.😅 Btw, i am on low carb diet.

[@enatp6448]

Same. This may be clear as day those in this profession but a little inaccessible for the average person just trying to figure out what this means to daily activity. Deceiving title...

[@DR_1_1]

Not any body can do the same HIIT, he mentioned obese people and athletes at the end, you can not advise the same exercises for both of them, can you understand that? Can you lift heavy weights? can you do series of sprints? Indian squatts or pushups?

[@Parker_Miller_M.S.]

Firstly, humans do not have type IIb muscle fibers. Updated anatomy and physiology books refer the fibers as type 1, type II, and Type IIx with the designations of slow oxidative, fast oxidative/glycolytic, and fast glycolytic frequently used. He mentioned liking the "old way" and old it is. Second, The fixation on using respiratory quotient to "optimize fat loss" is beyond overly reductionistic and not representative of human energy balance. The ultimate equation is calories taken in vs expended and the human body will continue to burn calories as it engages in EPOC (excess post exercise oxygen consumption) to replenish the energy lost from activity. This will happen after all exercise and the longer the exercise and more calories expended the longer EPOC lasts. So in a sense having a 15 minutes workout twice per week is a fools errand beyond slightly increasing strength if a novice or preserving strength if already trained. For anyone who is really trying to develop a well muscled physique, 30 minutes of resistance training is not going to cut it. It can be a starting point for some sure, but youll need to add volume to continue progressing. Hence why natural lifters and athletes have to resistance train for many hours per week. Having a respiratory quotient of about 0.67 if memory serves represents near 100% fat oxidation as fuel for energy around 0.85 for protein oxidation, and 1.0 for nearly all carbohydrate. It can never be truly 100% as substrate is always being metabolized from fat protein and carbs. We should want people to engage in exercise yes, but to sell the idea that 30 minutes of resistance training is all one needs is not telling the full truth of the evidence. After getting invested with exercise by perhaps starting with this idea, we should instruct people to continue adding more activity to their weekly schedule and get to as much as possible as an enormous amount of data supports a dose response relationship between exercise volume and health benefit. I really do not understand the point of this presentation as it presented only mechanistic hypothesizing and did not present any clinical trials or RCTs which actually tested this hypothesis and present hard outcomes like fat loss or muscle gain vs control or another method of exercise. With that being said I feel confident that this method is no more than a way to maintain some activity when on a short vacation or getting started in fitness.

[@fabioriato]

Can you tell exactly why people doing HIT get results, then? And I'm not just talking about average Joes who just started physical activities, but bodybuilders as well. None of what you said take into account body recovery, which is paramount to actually build and keep muscle. The idea behind HIT is actually getting _less_ volume/frequency with time, not more. More volume means you'll never be performing any exercise at the top of your capacity, and getting mid-level intensity for prolongued periods of time is actually worse for building/preserving muscle.

[@Parker_Miller_M.S.]

@fabioriato people may see results with HIIT training but again it's the volume that, based on literature, truly matters most especially as one becomes more trained. Barbell Medicine did a recent podcast talking about HIIT and the evidence around it, definitely a good listen. HIIT can work fine for just burning energy and can be implemented well occasionally for endurance training to bolster VO2 max but world class endurance athletes rarely do HIIT because the stimulus to fatigue ratio is not favorable. I like the typically instruct with clients that 80% of their cardio should be zone 1 to zone 2 and the other 20% in zone 3-zone 4. Because again it's the volume that matters most. Working out is about building a sustainable lifestyle that can be done many days per week. All out maximal intensity by definition can't accommodate that hence its sparing use for variety of specific implementation.

[@Fufushinxgdch]

I agree. This presentation does not convey any message to me. Only sounds great and genius to layman. Plus, it too mechanistic a talk by him.

[@DR_1_1]

I only do HIIT 2-4 x per month, like 20 reps over 10-20 minutes, else I grow too much. The rest is light walking or biking, mostly zone 2, sometimes a bit more intense, randomly. All day at desk.

[@RoScoHutch]

[@DR_1_1]

Search for HIIT or slow resistance training, maybe? He mentioned both 400 pounds people and athletes at the end, how could anyone recommend exercices that fit both cases. He is a doctor, not an influencer on YT. Only yourself know what you can do. Heavy lifting? Sprints? Everyone is different,

[@wolfpaul2010]

Love Ben 😂

[@PerryScanlon]

Untrained people respond well to intensity (if they don't get burnout or injury), but elite endurance athletes spend most of their time doing moderately-easy workouts.

[@scarred10]

Because high intensity gives quick results and also plateaus results quickly amd tales longer to recover from so its ok if youre training 3 times pwr week but not id you yrain twice a day æike elites.

[@PerryScanlon]

@scarred10 for 3 times a week I would think LT2 intensity is manageable. Not everybody could do sprint intervals or 95% of max HR but maybe alternating SIT and HIT separated by a day off.

[@scarred10]

@PerryScanlon LT isnt high intensity, its still fully aerobic.Its the VO2 max intervals and anaerobic that are kept lower frequency but have very short adaptation times for peaking.

[@PerryScanlon]

@@scarred10 LT2 is a little unstable with HR drift eventually towards max after about an hour. That's where the professionals spend most of their "hard" workouts. Even slightly below LT2.

[@PerryScanlon]

@@scarred10 and LT2 is using the red fast-twitch fibers quite a bit.

[@rtay0311]

So is he just talking about time under tension

[@realDaveFeldman]

It's so much harder than it looks, no question!

[@rtay0311]

@ oh I agree controlled reps are much more difficult. I do a lot of negatives , never let the bar touch my chest etc. my question is does time on tension accomplish the same?

[@fabioriato]

This goes in line with Mike Mentzer's HIT approach: slow, deliberate movements both on positive and negative phases, stopping for a couple of seconds on the contracted position. Each rep will last around 10s (4s positive, 2s holding, 4s negative), never using any inertia or momentum to help the movement going. Mentzer particularly recommended a single set per exercise (barring warm ups), to muscle failure. It's takes an incredible toll on the muscles, and you'll likely won't spend more than 20min in the gym. He also recommended machines instead of free weights, both for better safety and to minimize load differences during the movement. Calling it "time under tension" would almost be using a different name for the same thing. Almost because it's not just about TUT, but also the volume is important. HIT is about being intense, quick, and unfrequent. So, he advocated for low volume, which is exactly Dr. Ben's approach here. I've been doing a slight variation of Mentzer's training for the past 2 to 3 months, and what I can say is that it's harder than anything I've done before and I'm getting more results than in 2.5 years of doing high volume training.

[@rtay0311]

@ I’m typically a volume trainer , but using controlled reps. Lots of negatives. My brain keeps wanting to think this is essentially the same thing as time under tension. I started that in my younger days following Greg plitt.
