What would you rather have, strength or endurance?

[exitseven]

I know guys who are insanely strong. I know one guy that has a 500 pound bench. He is really strong for about ten seconds. I could run 26 miles.

I am pretty weak when it comes to heavy lifting. It’s just so much easier to ask for those who have the strength to help and they are always so happy and willing to help.
I have patience and endurance. I like these qualities in me. My son too have inherited this from me and am proud to see him put these in practice.
my younger sister took him out when he was less than 2, he was able to walk very far…maybe more than a mile. She was surprised he had the endurance to walk that much/far at a young age.

You know the answer to this: It has to be both. Strong hearts and lungs from cardio give you endurance; weight lifting gives you strength.

If you want to increase your speed as a runner, you weight lift. You if want to increase your endurance as a lifter, you do cardio. One without the other means you'll never improve your speed as a runner, or the length of time you can lift, as a lifter.

Gotta be both.

I got the stamina... and the more of it the better for me, my strength is already enough

physiologically speaking, I have it fairly easier to gain muscle mass but I don't want any extra weight... it just doesn't feel right for me, I'm already 200... lol

lean muscle might be better as well, to prevent future injuries or to make it less bad when it happens (knockingonwoodatrilliontimes)

As a general rule, endurance will allow you to accomplish more than speed or strength. I'll take the endurance.

Thanks for MHO!

Strength since I need strength for the everyday things I do. I don't go to the gym or even exercise. But when I need to get the top off the pickle jar - I need strength 😅

[Beckybooboo]

Strength. I have decent endurance but am a weakling! I get tired and feel bad for always asking guys I work with to carry this or move that….. They’re always nice about it but still! I don’t wanna lift a car but it would be nice to lift a fifty, sixty pound box off a shelf or from the ground to a shelf.

I’d rather have the strength to knock somebody out real fast Instead of having to dodge and move and dance around some strong guy and hoping that I don’t get caught with one punch to the jaw, waiting for him to get tired out. Most street fights don’t last that long anyway somebody yells somebody breaks it up the cops come they don’t last that long

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I feel like I have both, but if I had to choose one, it would be endurance. I like long complicated rock climbs, and bouldering problems, and big high elevation, cycling rides I think it's harder to build up endurance than it is strength.

[AviatorTom]

I'm a sprinter, and have always had limited endurance. So, I'll go for endurance. My strength is enough to survive.

[RealMarek]

I’ve been in great shape but never been able to bench 500 or run 26 miles. I think endurance would be more useful.

[RobT312]

Endurance…. i prefer the distance over the sprint

[Lliam]

Between the two, I'd say endurance and stamina.

[msc545]

I'm in favor of endurance. I sometimes have the need to run somewhere or the urge to do that for no particular reason and endurance is good for that. I rarely have ever have the need to lift anything very heavy and I find the very notion of weightlifting boring.

[Redstang88]

Strength. I have a truck, why do I care where I can run? Not built to be a runner, never will be

[douride2]

I would rather have the endurance that I have always had.

[Sparkie460]

I'm very sure that I have endurance. I keep going way past my breaking point. I'll take the strength

[BCRanger10]

I think I'd rather have endurance.

[BLP11520]

I have both right now

[TrueConfection]

I'll take endurance please!
