Bodybuilding damaging regular exercise?

[Buildandrun]

I just started my PE class a few days ago, and today we did some tests (pushups situps and the pacer)

I was only able to get 55 on the pacer..i usually get around 110...I run 3 miles a day.


I only got 30 pushups..which isn't good for me.

But here's the killer, I could only do 20 situps!!!!!

But I can go on the ab machine nad max it out for more then 20 reps itself!

I wasn't fatigued in any of these areas..but im wondering if this extra bulking is gonna effect my ability to perform some of these tasks.

I currently weigh 135, 5'5", 13% BF, 15 YO

BP Max: 205
Squat Max: 300 (Parallel)
DL Max: 315


BTW- Bulkling for about 5 months now.. mostly consistent..especially last 2 months.

well i noticed awile ago that when my older brother was putting on bulk ...he could do less of all those things...i spose its just that u have more weight now so its harder to do those things and ull go slower etc...

Yeha..ill school those kids in powerlifting..

Does anyone else notice this happening?

[Buildandrun]

anyone else wana chime in?

its cause now the max number of reps in a set ur doing is around 10-12. if ur bodybuilding u try to fatigue the muscle before u get to 30 reps etc.

basically ur training ur muscles in a different way and thus lower rep work u'll be stronger but high reps u will lose conditioning for super high rep work, such as pushups situps etc.

for example a 300lb powerlifter might be able to bench 700lbs, but only be able to do 10 pushups...see what i mean

its all about balance and physique to me. everybody is different though.

Yea its a different kind of strength, your neglecting other kinds of strength. I just realized this recently and have decided to include both explosive bodyweight exercises and heavy weightlifting to create the ultimate functional and good looking body.

oooh i got 125 on pacer the 2nd time i took it, this most recent i only got 120 im expecting 130+ next time. Itll all come back to you, many of these exercises are endurance and not strictly strength. Start doin push ups/pull ups. There are so many variables. If your getting PRs progressively, dont worry about it.

I dont usually listen to muscle fibre crap.

Bit this does have a point, maximal effort and applying it to higher reps is a different thing.

As a national level rower Im lucky enough to have trained my body on both extremes.

Try 100 reps narrows stance squats...
