So I'm in 3rd year exercise science and I thought I might make a thread where I could question some of the content that opposes the starting strength model.
1. Human's are designed for sustained moderate intensity exercise (walking jogging etc.) because our bipedal gait is suited for endurance. The lecturer than used the Kalahari bushmen's persistence hunt as an example of why endurance is best from an evolutionary view (video below).
I'm not sure how to refute the argument of endurance is best when put into an evolutionary context. Can anyone clarify?

2. As far as the heart goes we are told eccentric hypertrophy (an endurance adaptation) is healthy but concentric hypertrophy (a strength adaptation) can be dangerous (diagram below). Is this true? Would it explain why I had a max heart rate (207) above my age predicted one (199).

Thank you.
