Is it possible to run a 5 minute mile and have 1000 powerlifting sum simultaneously?

[Anaar]

this is my goal, i want to know if it's realistic

[malcore1991]

who cares if its realistic or not. if it's your goal then go for it

[Somniferous609]

this is my goal, i want to know if it's realistic

Definitely, dude.

[MuscleMan009]

This is not relevant to my interests...

[SUSprinter]

That would def. be what I consider "elite"

[Anaar]

Bump for more opinions

[TheWaffleIron]

highly unlikely.

[Dan0_123]

Surely it can't be that hard. I'll be over 1000 on the big three if I can manage 385 on deadlift next week. I can't see it taking more than a few solid months of training in the mile to hit in the 5 minute mark but maybe I'm way underestimation how hard a 5min. mile is. I've done high 6s before just dicking around after running for a few months but I was 35lbs lighter.....

no, it can. are you joking right now?

[Wintermule]

I sprint/jog/walk a 11:57 mile in gym class. I'm right behind the fat kids.

[TheHoosierWhey]

impossible is nothing.

[Twist3dJok3r]

Its an extremely hard goal that would prob take a few years with dedication.

[Gthangorangatan]

very possible...just cuz u have alot of muscle doesn't mean you can't be great at cardio. great goal- go out and get it =)

[Andre-n-Andre]

Its possible but that depends on ur endurance: say a 170 - 180 pounder, bench 250, squat 350, deadlift 400.

The difficult part would be to maintain your strenght while running a **** ton, probably would have to get up to a 1200 total and then focus on running.

[HTML_Rulez_D00d]

i kid at my school does it. 100% possible. his mile is 5:12 tho.

[Dan0_123]

no, it can. are you joking right now?

No...




Have you been trying?

[stronguy91]

damn a hard goal that is...but maintainable..

Your strength will only go down if you don't eat enough or stop lifting.

[Somniferous609]

Luckily, you don't need tons of muscle to do 1000 lifts..
I need to max out eventually, but I'm sure I'm at least high 900's, if not over 1000. I'm constantly around 155-160. (I will provide some fu cking videos, for the record)

Anyway- this is totally obtainable.. Lift hard, and for strength, not size; run whenever you are recovered and can manage it.

lol, you're kidding right? You're f*cking ripped, 16, 153 lbs, and you have a 11:57 mile?

[TheWaffleIron]

No...

no. i highly doubt this is possible. powerlifting and endurance running rely on different muscle fibers.

I get winded after like a minute of jogging or thirty seconds of sprinting, so I would walk for a bit. Then when I heard the coach yell out the ten minute mark (we had to get under 12:00 to get an A, and anything over that is an F, nothing inbetween), I would sprint as fast as I could (and I'm pretty ****ing fast, a lot of people have asked me if I'm on track) and just finish it. We did this like four times in one week and I almost died.

Horrible, horrible endurance.

stop chain smoking brah

[Wintermule]

stop chain smoking brah

I always joke that I have the endurance of a chain-smoking 80 year old (srs). I need to start sprinting and/or doing a bit of cardio. I get cramps playing one on one basketball. I crushed a freshman kid at this party the other day, I had to take a time out in the middle of it because I was panting. I was like "Damn, I'm in horrible shape" and I had my shirt off. He said "Yeah, you look like it."

Still can't figure out if he was being sarcastic cuz I have such an amazing body, or if he was commenting on my crampses.

Obtainable.

lol wut?

[Smallbigsam]

its highly doable, i dont weight that much and i can bench 275, squat 285 and deadlift 410 for 4 reps so its almost 1000 there and i have decent cardio that i could improve to get there...

i says it easily doable with dedication...
