Thanks. What prompted this was a question about "how much is too much" to carry. The argument being that going lightweight is better in the long run, which I would tend to agree. But as you both mention, conditioning is everything. There are plenty of kids-something like 25 percent I heard yesterday on the news, who are obese and likely to develop all kinds of medical problems because of it. I think the guy who asked the question said he was 6'4 and weighs around 300, so he's packing a lot of weight to begin with.
