I’m not saying you’re wrong but 3x a week plus massive amounts of walking doesn’t build any muscle. You just can’t get the reps in if you’re only actually lifting 3 hrs a week. Better spent in the gym lifting than all that time walking.

bullshite. especially when new with little muscle. look how many have used the greyskull lp, starting strength, madcow, stonglifts, texas method, 531 100% awesome, 531 krypteia etc to add tons of mass

its about intensity. hell look at doggcrapp training. some of the most advance bodybuilders out here growing on 3x per week

you sound like dr mike

and 10k steps isnt massive amounts of walking.

and ftr the guys on doggcrapp do 1 hour daily on an incline treadmill, lift 3x per week for less than an hour and grow like crazy

same with plenty of guys on gslp. look at kinobody, leangains etc. all program that are 3x per week, lower volume, high intensity adding tons of muscle to guys.

its about driving up the numebrs. especially with newer lifters.

done forgot man. dont fall for the volume craze

I’m not against intensity as that’s my driving factor but how many people are going to be like you or me? My inspiration on motivating people are what they can do. You only get 3 chances to be as intense as possible with 3x a week training. Think of it as an engineer and build in some factor of safety. Walking is too easy and most will just skip the gym portion and think walking is good enough. We both know losing fat with no muscle looks like shite.

All that said, I agree for a disciplined and already athletic individual what you said is correct.

I’ve said it in the past and I’m still against “science based” workouts. I love Dr Mike but his advice and workouts are for advanced indivuals with discipline and know how to build intensity. I’ll incorporate his ideas into my workouts like making sure to get into the stretched portion and hold for a second. BTW, Dr Mikes general philosophy is in DC training with the calves. Slow eccentric, pause at bottom, athletic concentric.

I want more people to learn to build intensity bc that and the results are what bring people back to the gym.
