Lifting is awesome. But you have to actually <i>do</i> it, not just sit around chatting or lifting at 40% your capacity like I see way too many people do.<p>If you aren&#x27;t sweating, you aren&#x27;t getting a workout.<p>Coincidentally cardio will make you better at lifting. When I recent got back to lifting for a few months I could power through 20 sets of compound lifts in an hour. By the time I change weight, I&#x27;m ready to go because my regenerative capacity is so quick (boxing will do that to you). Back when I was just lifting, 20 sets took over teo hours and the gains were very comparable.<p>I&#x27;d lift more, but it makes me slow.
