I can't for the life of me understand the mentality that would prefer a long exhausting run compared to 6 or so reps of a heavy weight until failure, for three sets, finished in 5 minutes. Running makes me feel like I'm gonna die. Weightlifting makes me feel like that only with extremely powerful lifts like doing squats. Can you explain why you prefer to draw out the discomfort rather than ripping the bandaid off immediately?
It's not an either/or. Both have different, if complementary, effects. Each primarily activates different muscle fiber types, each with its own metabolic benefits.
