We Tested Lubomba’s VO2 Max — Can Bodybuilders Cope With Cardio? | Myprotein

Bodybuilding pro, Lubomba Munkuli, is pretty well-known in the fitness world for his insane training sessions and eye-watering heavy lifts. But can he handle cardio? We wanted to put his cardio fitness to the test with a watt bike challenge to work out his VO2 max — which is the measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during intense exercise. It’s commonly used to measure the aerobic endurance of an athlete. We used the following calculation to work out his VO2 max after a 6-minute watt bike challenge: Relative VO2 Max = [(10.8 x W)/M] + 7 W = watt reading M = cyclist weight in kg The 6-minute watt bike challenge was split into 3 intervals: 0-2 minutes: light exertion (6/10 effort) 2-4 minutes: medium exertion (8/10 effort) 4-6 minutes: high exertion (10/10 effort) After these 6 minutes, the watt reading from the bike was taken and used in the formula above. Watch the video to find out Lubomba’s score (and witness the aftermath of those intense 6 minutes). ** Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MyproteinUK?sub_confirmation=1 At Myprotein it’s our mission to #FuelYourAmbition and push you forwards on your #ForeverFit journey.
