[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1207716, member: 8873"] I just piled through this whole thread and just gotta say...Keep it up! Everyone is different and their bodies respond differently to everything. If it is working for you then keep doing it. I will say this- if you want to get good at something you need to practice that something. Substituting one thing may help but it won't be the same. If you want to get good at carrying heavy loads then carry heavy loads. I like lifting weights, and probably focus more on it than I should. We do crossfit (one of my guys is a crossfit coach), run often, and do a lot of rucking (12 miles with around 60 pounds of gear). But after that I feel like I need to "workout". You can get endurance from weight lifting, I think it's all about intensity. I usually do a 100 rep workout, but pyramid it down and hit it hard and fast. Start heavy to about failure-then drop some weight to about failure-and so on and so on. Doesn't take long before you cannot lift your arms or even get up off. I seem to keep quite a bit of strength and build stamina at the same time. I'm currently 5'7" and a muscular 218, however I'm thinking about trying to get down to about 200. This is only because a knee surgery a while back still hurts when I run...maybe a little less weight may help. [/QUOTE]
