You are right, I should not name call. Sorry about that.

so far most people in this thread agree that you are trying to over complicate the issue when all the poster wanted to know what if and/or how he should alter his workout.




Again you are right. The poster wants to know if he should alter his workout. I did not say he had to get a test. It was a suggestion, just like running your codes is a suggestion before changing everything in your car trying to fix a cel. It is a quicker way to get the desired results. What if the guy could get into shape in 1/2 the time, 4 weeks instead or 8 weeks. All a VO2 test is give you a baseline on where to start...and again it was a suggestion.

Everyone has posted some great ways to get into shape for this guy. My suggestion is merely a way to get the results the guy wants in a much more efficient way. thats all.

the only time one gives a complicated answer to a simple question is when one feels one has something to prove.



I did not give a complicated response to his question. I gave a suggestion. I gave some degree of detail in an effort to help the guy out. When we post on here about getting info for something we want to do to our cars, we hope to get some detail about what we are asking because we want to learn. Usually we get the famous "search" comments, but he probably would not find anything on getting into shape by searching this site.

I don't have anything to prove at all. I am just offering a suggestion for the guy. All of my detail has been in response to people telling me that I am full of it, when the very people bashing me really don't know anything about fitness other than no pain/no gain mentality.

Guys- the VO2 test was a suggestion. I never said the other suggestions were bad at all, so lay off. You don't have to agree with me, but just because you do, doesn't mean I'm wrong.

E0 SVT Kids, yeah, I have kids. How many do you want?
