It's obvious that the sole purpose for this guys post is to boast that he has relatives who are doctors. I'm sure everyone here is impressed beyond words.
I grew up in a world that didn't have cardio...

The whole point of these boards is to exchange and challange ideas. If you have a point of contention -- take your best shot. But from what I see, you got nothing. It's just blatant flaming. No exchange. No challange. No logical rebuttal. Just insipid insults, which is to be expected from someone with nothing to offer.
Credentials? Like what? Having a relative who's a doctor?
I never claimed to be Dan Duchaine. By the way, what were his credentials?

I knew Dan from the time Pits was wearing short pants. He would have spewed his coffee if somebody mentioned "credentials" and his name in the same sentence.
Dan was a brilliant... but totally self educated man.

Hey guys put yourself in pit's shoes for a second. He obviously comes from a proud tradition of medicine. He was brought up to hold doctors in very high regard. Then some people come on here and trash the medical profession and say they know nothing about exercise.
You gotta understand that he's going to come on here and defend doctors.
I am not condoning his stance or his tone. Just trying to put myself in his shoes. It's like if someone insulted whatever profession you do, you have to admit it woudl get your hackles up.
Just like anything else there are doctors that are very well informed and stay on the cutting edge of knowledge, and there are doctors who just kind of follow the herd.
And just for the record I haev a cousin who is a doctor and I am very proud of him. I also consider myself more knowledgeable than most people even on this board about a host of subjects because I have just picked up the phone and called him or pored over medical textbooks with him while over at this house and researching certain subjects (enteral glutamine absorption and TVA action for examples). He is very curious and willing to pursue avenues of learning when I pose questions to him.

Since we're on a sidebar.. just wanted to defend myself real quick. I realize we don't know anywhere near all there is to know about the human body or muscles for that matter. You're right.. we wouldn't have aids, MD, hell we might even be able to find some of the keys to slowing the aging process. But considering the knowledge of the 50's and 60's, we have made leaps and bounds since then.
That's all. I agree.. this thread has pretty much beaten to death. Everyone expressed their views, and there was no conclusion to be made. Nobody has the answer or the key. We're all just observers and students with opinions about a topic that is far beyond most of the populations comprehension. At least we can still have a nice debate about what we think is right!
I can not believe that i did not get involved in this thread. About once every other week someone posts a thread like this just to troll. It is so crystal clear that cardio has overwhelming support both in experimental studies and also in anecdotal evidence that it is pointless to argue its case with someone who chooses not to do it or believe what all the experts have to say. For those who choose not to do cardio, all the more power to them. If you can substitute resistance training for it, i say good deal, resistance training at some point is just a form of cardio so why split hairs. As long as you do it in some form or another you will reap its benefits.
