Inspired from a thread I found.
Exercises
Even though its about weightlifting and we're discussing martial arts in this website, I recognize what the OP states and can relate to some parallel experiences I had in training martial arts. For example how even though I simply practised kicks on a bag, I suddenly have a hard time practising punches in the air and could do less reps than my maximum. Or how despite simply doing a stretches I come out having a harder time jump roping (which utilizes different body parts even though they wear out the same limbs).
Why is this? I mean if you're doing pushups it shouldn't affect your legs to do a certain amount of kicks on a bag or it shouldn't affect how well you could practise clinching afterwards!
