So, again, do both, faggot.

If you do ONE or THE OTHER, strength training will win in terms of efficiency WITHIN A SANE TIMEFRAME. If you CAN run for 4 hours 7 days a week, which one is best would be completely immaterial to you. You would also be tremendously fit but still look like a skinnyfat asshole, but that's neither here nor there.

I mean, of fucking course if you spend 9,012 hours running in a week, you will hit your muscles harder than weight training and will burn more calories. That isn't the point. People who aren't legendary athletes can be expected to spend about 5 hours a week exercising. 3 hours is a reasonable weekly max for strength training, and 7 hours is a reasonable weekly max for cardio -- but again, time and conditioning are factors. SO, you should spend the maximum cumulative amount of time lifting (approx. 3 hours), and then do cardio when you have free time for the rest of the week (approx. 2 hours).

When i'm dieting, I tend to spend 5 hours/week exercising (3 lifting, 2 cardio).
When i'm eating at maintenance, I tend to spend 7 hours/week exercising (3 lifting, 4 cardio).

What do you have the time and energy for? Make time for your strength training first, and then fill the rest with your gay hippie cardio.
