[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1237760]- Weight lifting can develop your bone, muscle, structure, and add weight.
Running can develop your lung, heart, leg muscle, endurance, and lose weight.
Both are good for health. If you only have time to do one and not both,
Which one will you prefer?
Which one do you think that can help you to live longer?
Why?[/QUOTE] I would go for running , because of the same reason you gave on your topic post . Weight Training , depends on what kinds of job you do , to me any kind of job which requires lifting , pushing , pulling can help develop the samething you ’ ve mentioned on your topic post . I do it too myself . Weight Training really does ’ nt have to take a long time to do , if you got 10 minutes or 5 minutes you can just do a few reps of each exercise to develop all parts of the body . What you are doing is building your muscles as times go by for you .
So as the chores you do around your house or apartment , like you YouKnowWho , I don ’ t know if you live in an apartment or a regular house , studio ? Or what you do for a living ? But anything you do everyday which requires you to use your own physical strength can sustitute for your weight training .
People who work in a restaurant can get a good work out too , regardless if they are cooks , dishwashers , pantry . Or like what I mentioned in my topic post reply to your topic post . So you can get in shape , regardless of what you really do everyday of your life .

When I was training for my tournament, I used a huge rock. I picked it up, walked 20 steps, put it down. I might repeated that as many time as I wanted until I was tired. That rock is still on the ground next to my drive way. One of these day I will measure the weight of that rock.

hoomans were not built to run long distances, they were built to walk long distances.[/QUOTE]
cuz we should only do exactly what someone arbitrarily decided we were ‘built’ to do
[QUOTE=MightyB;1238078]For cardio you could just do vigorous repetitions of forms… you know, since that was what they were intended for in the first place.[/QUOTE]
None of that is in favour of distance RUNNING.
Probably more like distance walking ( fast paced).
You can walk a great distance AND still be able to hunt and kill, not so much running.
Honestly, it is not an either/or thing, we can do BOTH.
We can sprint really well AND we can run/walk for distance.
Sure our sprint speed is peanuts compared to land mammals, but the thing is that we can do both.
[QUOTE=Oso;1237966]so, one should continuously increase the size of one’s partners? otherwise, you plateau? right?
at some point, you would have to be seeking out some of the biggest ssbbw’s?
****. props bro. I’ll stick with skinny and/or short chicks. pics please.

lol, nope you just have to get inventive. you have to develop a rotation method of the 64 kamasutra positions, and make adjustments in structure and rep to deepen the workout.

I had given serious thought on this too. If I can replace my running by my solo form training, I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. That’s always what I want to do anyway. The only problem that I found is that I don’t have enough “self-discipline”. It’s hard to push myself to do form after form with no break in between. I even tried to repeat the same combo drill (such as kick, punch, wrap, throw) 600 time non-stop. It may take 1 hour. That’s 10 reps per minutes, and 6 second per rep. The trainin is much harder than just the running.
The way that I look at running, it’s a lazy person work out. If you set a destination 3 miles away from where you are. If you run to that target and back, you have no choice but to finish the whole distance.
[QUOTE=wenshu;1238176]Good forms/drill practice should be explosive high intensity intervals and won’t work for steady state aerobic conditioning.[/QUOTE]
That’s right. You can slow run for 1 hour, but you just can’t fast spring for 1 hour. To train combat skill in “constant speed” is not a good idea IMO.
It’s time for my running again. Will talk to you guys later.

i’m pretty sure the most recent consensus is that we adapted to long distance walking, not long distance running and that heel strike running contributes to a host of ill affects. but, anyway, that’s what I believe and you can do your own research.
[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1237951]
My wife is 9 years younger than me. I had promised her that I will out live her so she won’t have to deal with my death. It’s not easy to out live someone who is 9 years younger. That’s why I have to keep my running. I just can’t afford not to do it.

My point was not about the evolution of running rather the romanticization fallacy that says we should only do things we evolved to be good at. Confining humans to activities we only evolved to be good at is mindlessly dull and limiting.
In any case, here’s the paper mentioned in the article MightyB posted. Makes a strong case for the evolution of endurance running.
