[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2188787, member: 25419"] One needs a mix of both. Lifting trains the body to use calories effeciently, more so than running or cycling. It does not make a well-trained weightlifter capable of running a fair distance. Just as most body builders suggest little "cardio", in order to use calories to build muscle, guys that run long distance avoid putting on pounds (even muscle), because it interferes with their goal. (running insane distances) I like a mix of both. If I can't run a fair distance, how effective can I be as a rifleman? If I'm too weak to haul my gear, ammo, etc..a fair distance, how effective can I be? Try controlling your breath and sight picture on a 20" wide target 400 yards away after running 3 or 4 miles. Carlos Hathcock employed running with gear, then dropping trainees on the line to get their hearts pumping and lungs wheezing before they tried to get focused and shoot. Lifting weights alone won't make you able to overcome that type of situation. [/QUOTE]
