we DO NOT gatekeep with this post! we’re poking fun at modern bodybuilding which emphasizes appearance and size far above performance and even health.
100% full respect to this guy! the only thing to laugh at is the social landscape which got us here :)
I’m so confused why there would be any negativity, look at those thighs! who cares about his times when he looks that hot?
Pfft. Let me know when he wants to learn to row, because I’d bow for him, if you know what I mean.
You are all jealous bitches because his times apparently suck but he’s still too hot to ever notice you.
ngl id be scared and nervous if he noticed me bro is y o k e d
Have you worked as a railway dentist?
The reference
One of Czech genius Jára Cimrman’s many enterprises was nomadic dentistry. Around the turn of the 19ᵗʰ and 20ᵗʰ century, he would criss-cross Austria-Hungary’s entire railway network with his one-rail wheelbarrow and fix the teeth of station, switch and signal operators who couldn’t leave their post to get it done in town. Railway sleepers were 90 cm apart, resulting in the short Cimrman’s unusually long gait.
i still don’t get it even after reading the reference 😭
If the step count is to be trusted, the average step was over 90 cm. They seem to not have run very fast either. As a result, their walking gait is as weird as this multitalented Czech guy’s.
I don’t expect anyone here to know about Jára Cimrman but if you wish to be introduced to him, visiting Jára Cimrman Theatre (Czech) or Cimrman English Theatre (English) is the best way. Alternatively, you can watch a recording of the former’s plays: Záskok (The Stand-In) is available on good piracy sites in original 576i (or on YouTube with some scaling), with English subtitles on opensubtitles.org, and is considered a good entry point into the lore. This bit of his biography is revealed in the seminar given before his play Švestka (The Plum) but beware that this is the kind of media where a bad translation is absolutely worse than none.
thanks!
But he still did morning cardio and I did not, nor did most of us here. Going for it in any way is better than not going at all
And the slow time is probably cause he wasn’t just running, but doing shit like burpees and knee raises and stuff.
indeed! 🔥
Beg pardon, but I do morning cardio every day…
I have a quiet anxiety attack at the thought that it’s another day, and hold it there for 10-15 minutes (20 if it’s a Sunday).
in bed with the heart rate of a B-movie slasher protagonist
Eeexactly! Or sitting at the edge, staring at the floor, and feeling like I’m at my 10th mile.
lovin that route
Oh it’a a route, I thought it was some weird logo
One hand in air, one hand on bepis, straight up sprayin semin.
who the FUCK stepped on my glasses and bent them
are we gatekeeping running now?
no, but good question. we’re poking fun at modern bodybuilding which emphasizes appearance and size far above performance and even health.

i’ll pin this to the body text too
You can get good cardio at slow speeds, by carrying a heavy load (like a backpack full of rocks) to increase the effort and get heart rate up. This is sometimes desired by people who want to avoid the high impact on joints of running on hard surfaces.
But that man ain’t got no backpack full of rocks on him.
Carrying a heavy pack is really hard on the joints
Not as hard on the joints as heel striking on concrete in a run.
Depends on the weight of the pack and the terrain, it can be
A pack heavy enough for a fast walk to generate a sustained elevated heart rate, over a flat side walk, will create far less impact than a heel striking run on the same side walk.
For me, to elevate my heart rate as much as running, I’ve got to be carrying a 20kg pack up a loose rocky mountain pass, or practically jogging, either of which is quite rough. Just walking quickly on flat pavement isn’t nearly as effortful as running.
What is needed to generate the results varies from person to person depending on their fitness level, but the point is that, rucking reduces the rate of injury, particularly for people only have practical access to a hard surfaced environment for cardio.
His body is full of rocks
Nearly ten minutes a km? fucking weak.
That make you feel better, pissing on someone whose fitness goals you don’t even know?
Seriously. I walk 5km in about 50 minutes
I am 46 and was in the ICU a couple months ago with super high blood pressure and a false alarm for a stroke. Up until last week, I hadn’t ran for proper exercise in 20 years:
I can push myself to two miles, but it hurts. It only took a couple of months to work up to this point, so that was cool.
But still, if he wants to show off that he is doing just a little better than a 46 year old with cardiovascular issues he can go right ahead. I ain’t going to yuck anyone else’s yum, but a comparison needed to be made.
Edit: Fitbit doesn’t separate workout types that well without planning ahead and configuring a workout routine. “Lap 2” was a running mile, and the rest of the laps are walking.
hells yeah friend! my best wishes on your journey. 💞 thanks for sharing.
I’d argue you’re way more fit than the pathetic poser in the OP.
Does it really matter how good or bad at running he is? At least he’s doing more than a lot of people and he isn’t morbidly obese like half of them these days.
true! check out the post body text for a clarification
Sure, but 10 min/ km is my go-to estimate when I’m walking somewhere.
Walking at a brisk pace though, if you’re more chill it’s more like 15 minutes or so.
And walking is still cardio.
