Does doing weight training once a week make a difference when you usually train with bodyweight?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Say you do pushups, chinups, and other bodyweight workouts every day. My question is, would doing weight training say once a week make a difference in your strength? Is it worth your time? I know high rep exercises like pushups train different muscle fibers than do the low rep workouts with weight training, so is that counter-intuitive? Can you effectively develop both high rep bodyweight strength as well as low rep training with weights?

Thanks!
