Listen I have a friend on track with me who does running (I throw), long distance specifically, and sometimes Ill train with him despite the fact that I always trail behind by a lot and get worn out first but I do it because it helps. However when I hit weights he refuses to lift because he says if he bulks up he'll be a lot slower on the track and in the ring (Muay Thai Kickboxing) and I tell him that the muscle will help so which one of us is right? He weighs about 130 pounds and measures 5' 10" he maxes at 95 pounds on bench and thats all hes ever tried. If you ask me i think hes afraid to hit weights because hes weak but I run with him even though I barely keep up so it shouldnt matter or are there really truth to his words, can bulking up make you slower? His events are the 800M and the Mile.
