except most of that pain is lactic acid buildup, and you'd get the same "overall hurt" effect if you used compound lifts like squats/deadlifts/other olympic lifts instead of using nautilus machines like a faggot

so I'm theoretically burning just as many calories from "Repairing" my muscles with cardio as I am with strength training.

lol no
okay, maybe during week 1

Also once you get to the point that you're no longer increasing the weight of the weights, wouldn't you no longer rip your muscles as much meaning they wouldn't be healing as much on the offtimes/burning calories?

The idea is that you'd still want to try to lift beyond capacity, but not eat enough to give your muscles the power ot grow back bigger, just enough to repair themselves.
