Default Which aspect is more important to you?

Just seeing where the mindset of the forum is.

Aerobic endurance- able to run several miles in a relatively fast time, etc

Muscular strength- deadlift a lot of weight, etc.

I spent a proportionate amount of time working on the area that I think is more important (ie: if you think muscular is much more important than aerobic, you will spend a lot more time lifting weights and only a little or no time with aerobic excercise)

I voted "muscular is much more important" but that's not really true. All that is important to me is appearance- not any type of performance (sans sexual).

For this reason I also have a schedule to make sure I have a tan and am not pasty in addition to being a disgusting fat body.

Yeah I would love to be out at the pool tanning but it has to be the wettest summer in Texas in 20 years.

I am with most...I would much rather be about 190 with 8% body fat than 220 with a higher body fat but liftin crazy weights.

Muscular mostly bc of my running injuries that freeze up my quads for the first 15 minutes of running [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Where does muscular endurance fall in this? At the moment I don't have much interest in running Marathon des Sables, nor in lifting towtrucks.

I am more interested in functional strength and muscular endurance. I want my body to be strong enough to perform any reasonable "lift" that may be necessary in daily life and also to be able to perform at a high level for a longer period of time under load.
