WAG high reps with no weight or less reps with weight

[momof5]

DD is very strong and loves to condition. She is always challenging herself by trying to increase her numbers. Some of her current numbers are 100 v ups and 83 dips on parallel bars. Then last weeks she decided to add a weight vest to some of her conditioning. Of courses the number or reps she could do came down. I think she said she only do 70 v ups. Which is better for gymnastics conditioning. High number with only her body weight or lower numbers with more weight. Are these high numbers asking for an overuse injury(paranoid mom wants to know).

we do both. and yes, you can increase problems when you increase the 'load' (weight) on the body. has to be monitored.
