Can Walking Too Much Hurt Your Gains? 

@FIGHTFANNERD10 what

@FIGHTFANNERD10 it is

Ofc it will coz walking increases blood flow and blood carries nutrients to muscles....👍

You are the comment i'm looking for

Will it work for beginners? If yes, how many steps should I do?

I love hiking about 1-2 hours everytime its beautiful outside but man it helps the mental health however I just feel it stops me in my track of trying to put on weight

Sex life?? Walking??

@@cactu5jackCirculation. Better blood circulation throughout the body helps keep ol rod stiff 😂

Cross fitters and bodybuilders are the worst

CrossFit athletes are on gear.

If your heels hurt more. Look into walking properly, that may help

@@theforce5191 my heels don’t hurt more.. I’ve always been an athlete.. track, volleyball and basketball.. I can walk, run and sprint correctly! I started hiking 6 miles a day before my job.. it’s that I walk 20 plus miles a day.. anyone feet would be tired from that!

@@thetravelgoods2760 Get better shoes!

While eating a little under maintenance

I power walked an hour a day everyday for 4 months. I lost 6 pounds overall and put on quite a bit of muscle since I’m also strength training 5-6 days a week. The walking is just another form of cardio that helps to burn calories and get your heart rate up. Just for context I walk about 6-7k steps in an hour.

💯

Full body 3x a week and walk everyday. I've been doing this for ages. Works wonders.

I wonder what is it in the case if you walk for your job like working as a usps carrier and you want to build muscle, but walk 8 to 12 hours straight. Like i'd feel like it'll be hard to gain muscle, it'll be easier to lose fat with that many steps.

How much do u usually walk in a day?

@ICcccreg at my peak I did 7-12 miles a day, 5-6 days a week. Sometimes I did doubles too..

@@jeepz669 jesus that's insane you must of ate a lot too

@ICcccreg lol

@@jeepz669 so did u eat alot more?

Why cut out wheat?

@@ronniet-rex8541 Its very addictive. Easy to overeat just like white sugar. Most of the time doesnt have much fiber. Some say its inflammatory. It certainly is if you are intolerant but I feel like its not good for me. When bread is an option I end up eating a lot of it meaning Ill eat less clean food that has enough protein and veggies.

@@TheFishFTW ok thanks, I work an active job and often for an easy source of nutrition on the go i make wholegrain sandwiches. Maybe ill look into it a bit more

@@ronniet-rex8541 Yea I also had an active job but I was lucky enough to have access to a microwave and a sink. I was able to make oatmeal every day for a much higher quality carb energy source. If you are able to do that I highly recommend it. A good receipe is a little bit of salt, cinnamon and stevia into the water and then add enough oats to almost cover the water. 2 mins in the microwave and its perfect. You really have to play with the time since if its too long it will turn into glue. If its too short it will be too watery. It will have to be timed to perfection within like 15seconds. 😃👍

@@ronniet-rex8541 making and eating the oats can be done easily in 5mins

This made me LOL. 😂

😂

This.

This is the truth. And people should be active during the rest of the day, so you can walk 40-60 or 90 minutes and still gain muscle if you want to progress with that. Remember: your health is more important than lift 150 kg of bench. Improve your health in general!!!

Lifting weights for an hour can easily keep you in zone 2 for that hour, whilst depleting more of your energy stores than walking alone. A muscular physique requires more energy overall to maintain as well. Walking is fantastic, as is cycling, jogging, really most movement. It's all about moving and doing what gets you toward your own goals. My goals are maintaining strength as well as preventing heart disease that runs in my family, so I zone 2 cardio daily and lift every other day, as well as staying off my ass the rest of the day, because the best exercise you get is from all your other day to day activities, if you aren't sedentary.

I don't get it does that mean if I work a job that requires me to walk all day long I'll won't be able to grow

@@dylan6996not because it doesn’t raise your heart rate enough to hinder that

Update time. How did the bulk go? Do you still walk?

Exactly. Do not mix lifting and cardio days. Separate them.

Working while working out sounds nice. 2 birds with one stone

All the construction workers I know are fat and out of shape...

still in a super long bulk. gained a lot of fat

You're not walking enough as a waitress to hurt gains. Even if you were, all you'd need to do is increase calories. The problem is that you might not be lifting heavy enough to justify any added calories. Women gain bodyfat easier than men.

Yeah probably lol. 30k steps a day is insane. I've been walking 7.4 miles a day recently, have it mapped out on my gps so it equals roughly 15k steps. I don't have some sort of fitbit to monitor it but i can't imagine walkng 30k steps a day. On top of doing construction. Back when i worked for a busy moving company, i simply could not put on any upper body muscle despite how ripped my calves were. Just couldn't eat enough to replace all the calories i burned throughout the day. Drinking 3 cans of pop probably didn't help me though lmfao. Now i lift weights 3-4 times a week along with the 15k steps and the gains have been great. I eat 8 eggs a day and cut out all the sugar. Eat as much meat as i can and im starting to get cut!

There's now way you're building serious strength burning that many calories per day.

@@DIVISIONINCISION we made huge changes in our department, down to 5-6 miles of walking 4-5 days a week. Really been thinking about testing myself with mk677 because of the increased hunger.

I got the reference to your name bro lol

That’s A LOT! but power to you

You're too heavy, too bulky. 220 at most.

@@GUITARTIME2024 my guy you never seen me in person . Plus you better look better then me to make comment like that 3rd weight distribution & portions is different for everybody I’m also around 14 percent body fat lol 😂 also I’m down about 12 pounds My body at 32 still functions like I’m 16 my body can gain muscle and lose fat very easily and I also can gain mass easily as well I don’t have that dad bod look 👀 like 90 percent of men my age have I was always athletic looking all my life I’m Built like Goldberg mixed with Scott Steiner Not like Seth Rogan or Jonah Hill or even Channing Tatum

I imagine you have a job that consists of so much waking? Otherwise that's a ton of time walking lol.

@@theforce5191 lol 😂 I actually now can do the same amount of steps if not more then that for three hours if walking at 3,5 speed and burning 🔥 about 2600 calories and taking about 42,000 steps a day. Most people really don’t care about there health and fitness until it’s generally to late ⏰ at 34 the body doest forgive as well and genetics if predisposition start to come in. I always took care of my self been in the ring 🥊 🤼‍♀️ and lifts weights all my life at 32 I feel like I’m 22 still I see other people my age when I work the night clubs here in nyc omg 😳 some of you fucks age horribly especially the women like no shame belly out bigger arms then me. Misshaped unbelievable and I’m like sitting here watching wat these people eat like yooo and your Freinds allow it cuz your no longer threat to them with it’s comes to SMV and attracting a mate. Your only young once taking of your self is more important then. Making money it should be considered vital like eating drinking water going to sleep being able to use the bathroom 🚽

@@theforce5191 I just retired 11 years on the job NYPD early retirement is have a niccce pension so I have 4 days all to my self

Exactly what I thought, they can coexist and even enhance each other

So true. Recovery is everything. I’ve always done the best. Gotten ripped and stayed muscular with a heavy activity load. And plenty of sleep

That's partly genetic, partly diet, but youvare right, weights needed.

All exercises increase test

If you're serious about building strength, there's no reason to walk 6 miles/day. It becomes counter-productive.

Fast twitch fibers grow bigger in size than slow twitch. Fast twitch are for short bursts such as sprinting and weight training that use mostly ATP as energy source which is short lived. Slow twitch fibers on the other hand are for endurance and they are smaller in size so they utilize oxygen more for fuel. Walking and jogging build slow twitch muscle fibers.

I know right its scares the shxt out of me how many people just blindly follow the herd
