Latic Acid- how and why?

Ummm dude. I gotta add some **** to your post cuz I feel the need to.

3 to 4 minutes is for somebody who works out moderately pretty much. You can increase your lactic acid threshhold over time and some people can work at about 85 to even 95% of their V02max without having that burn from the lactic acid.

Over time the body becomes more efficient and can buffer the lactic acid much more efficiently, rather than having you stop immediately after starting your workout cuz ur body cant do it right.

And in regards to the lactic acid during a workout and trying to eleviate that, if you go at a high intensity for the first part and then drop down a bit when u feel the lactic acid, ur body will buffer it so that later in the workout you can go back up to a higher intensity.

I dunno if I missed anything, but that's about the jist of what I had to add to it

No prob Zack add whatever you want i probably missed a lot i went through it real quick, but i just wanted to give the basic look

awesome. just making sure he got the total picture so that he knows that it can buffer and learn to be more efficient and buffer at a much higher rate
