      Right, so I do a 5/3/1 with a circuit of assistance work with essentially no downtime apart from switching out the weights. It’s challenging, and it builds my strength, but I don’t think anyone with any serious amount of experience doing cardio-focused exercise could with a straight face say that they are comparable. High zone 2/low zone 3 maybe, but not comparable in volume to a long run/ride nor comparable to HIIT sessions either.

      If lifting weights is seriously that taxing for you cardio-wise, you may need to get out and actually stress your cardiovascular system

      so by the exact same reasoning you have to actually be putting out high watts and not just casually cycling
