I dunno, I've packed on around 20lbs of muscle the last few years, and I've never been fitter. I'm testing everything from 400m runs to 5k runs pretty consistently, and I'm every bit as fast as I was when I was under 190lbs (I sit around 210 these days at just over 6').

I used to be big into running, and I've found that with a ton of weight training and HIIT my legs are stronger and my lung capacity is just as high as it was when I was a rake. With all the squats I do my legs barely get tired these days if I run a longer distance.

I know it's chique to hate on crossfit (which is pretty ridiculous) but it's changing a lot of perceptions of what big, heavy muscular athletes are capable of.

To each their own though. I have my opinions on what constitutes fitness, others will have their opinions. To me I don't care WHAT you do, as long as you do something and you enjoy doing it.
