I agree with DKing. I'd say that eating a few more hundred cals (depending on the level and duration of the activity) on those days you do the anaerobic activities, you should be fine.

I think its definitely possible for anyone who is bulking to maintain their anaerobic activities and still see gains. The key is to make sure you compensate for that activity by eating more. Ideally, these extra cals (protein and carbs)should be before, and also the few hours after the activity to help you recover the quickest and prevent any muscle loss from the catabolic state your body will be in.
