The problem is this all in your opinion and in denial of the actual benefits of resistance training over cardio even for heart health.When you say "training" are you referring to an activity that elevates your heart rate sufficiently to improve cardio vascular health?
Scientifically, you need to get your heart rate up to between 60 to 80% of target heart rate max. You know the formula I am sure. And that's not ME talking, it's proven research. By scientist and doctors.
IMO guys who naturally/genetically have low bf% will not see the benefit of doing cardio or feel it's warranted. They are lucky. I have personally known many guys like this...
There are also guys who can manage purely thru diet and discipline of eating properly.
However, someone can look in shape and if you ask them to run 2 miles, they will fail. It's an indicator of fitness. Just ask the military bc it's standard for soldiers to have to complete a 2 mile run in a set period of time.
I am not looking to argue bc everyone has an opinion. But there is also science and bro science. There is tons of actual literature on the need to do any activity that elevates your heart rate effectively...be it called cardio or chopping wood or whatever.
Also, to say no one "trains" is offensive. Maybe not to your standards but I can name a few members on this board who train and look like they train.
Gymtonic and Monstro be two I can think of right off the top of my head. They would not agree with you that they do not train.
With all due respect.
