It is pretty much maximum cardiac output just beneath vo two max above functional threshold . It puts an amazing strain on the body and frankly , while doing that is better than sitting on a couch all day , that is generally past the point of optimizing longevity returns and it actually comes at some longevity cost relative to something more at a slightly lower energy system . So , everything I'm talking about is geared towards this Centenarian Olympics , which we've talked about in the past , this idea of being the most kick ass 90 year old possible .
To make the question more general ? What do you believe is typically overlooked in this realm among very active 25 year olds who wish to be in the race for the gold medals in the Centenary Olympics ? Well , that's a question from my heart .
Yeah , I was thinking about it and I think one thing too is that if you're thinking about doing a goblet squad , it's almost like a checklist of things that you want to be able to , to achieve . So it's not necessarily like going to the crossfit games and you're going to see how many goblet squads you can do for time compared to other Centenarians , you're basically checking something off that you would hope to do . And one thing that I think like once this is refined down to maybe less than 18 or maybe it's 18 events is maybe put it in front of , there's a lot of ongoing Centenarian studies .
And therefore , I think it's going to require much more deliberate attention around what your mind and body are doing at that point . Now that we've set the stage for what we're optimizing for with our exercise , these next two clips are going to focus on strength . One of the pillars in my framework for exercise .
I'm your host , Peter Attia . This podcast , my website and my weekly newsletter all focus on the goal of translating the science of longevity into something accessible for everyone . Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness full stop .
