I guess I must be a myth buster. I have been increasing my bench press and squat while increasing my cardio work out. I know guys Ashanti's size that play soccer for 2 or 3 hours every Saturday and still press 120% of their body weight.

I guess that is the difference between being a body builder and just trying to build strength.

Edit To Add:
My post was not the original post. I was responding to something another member posted.

I do the bands 3 times a week usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday with an occasional Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. I walk 5 out of 7 days for 6 miles (good hills locally). My focus using the bands has been arm, shoulder, and chest due to totally destroying my right shoulder a few years back (7 separate fractures, the ball ripped out of the socket and re-entered in whitewater accident; result collar bone in 3 pieces, top 1/2" of ball joint shattered off and socket in 3 pieces too). As such I have a list of about 25+ exercises I've picked up and I usually do anywhere from 18-22 with 15 reps each. Curious as to how many and which ones others would recommend to do. When I started last summer I did 10 reps each for 2 months, then increased to 15 reps each two months, then 20 reps each two months. Beginning this year I increased the resistance weight by 20% and am doing 15 reps each.

I had been walking only 3 miles until end of last September. I used the extra miles walking as an excuse to eat more or I swear I thought I was more hungry. But then again, the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) and winter it seems everyone bulks up a little.
