The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
So, you know, you described doing a whole bunch of things. Okay, just to let you know, to do that will require a VO2 max of 30 milliliters of oxygen per minute per kilogram. And the person will say, okay, what does that mean? We'll say, well, that's a measure of your maximal uptake of oxygen, and that declines at about 8% to 10% per decade.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so so I would say that you know if somebody in their 80s had a Max in their in their 20s or or or or lower 30s that'd be terrific
I want to be a couple decades beyond that I want to be in the elite level for someone in their 30s which would be north of 53
here you can see um a table that shows exactly what is happening to V2 Max um as we age now the purpose of this table of course is to show you something else the purpose of this table is to show you uh basically the core tiles of V2 Max by age for example if you look at a woman in her late teens the top 2.3% would have a V2 Max greater than 53 milliliters uh of oxygen per kilogram per minute and you can see that that will fall such that by the time a woman is 80 to be in the top 3% pardon me the top 2.3% she would have to
so for example if you look at a woman in her late teens the top 2.3% would have a V2 Max greater than 53 millit uh of oxygen per kilogram per minute and you can see that that will fall such that by the time a woman is 80 to be in the top 3% pardon me the top 2.3% she would have to be greater than 30 milliliters per kilogram per minute but what's interesting is 30 places her in the bottom quartile for the late teens
the reason we want to see people um if they want to live a completely unced life into the final decade of their life and that's a big you know if not everybody necessarily has that type of an aspiration but if your aspiration is indeed to basically be able to do what you want um you know without limitation climb a flight of stairs carry a luggage up a broken escalator go for a hike um you pretty much need to be two decades younger at the elite level if you're thinking you're going to live to be about 90
if you could reverse engineer where you want your V2 Max to be when you're 90 what what should it be because if you have a sense of what your V2 Max should be when you're 90 you kind of know what it needs to be when you're 80 70 60 blah blah blah blah blah all the way back
