Anyone lifters here also hike

or do similar activities like cycling? I'm not talking about traipsing in the woods, I'm talking about walking steep rugged terrain and rock scrambling all day or over multiple days. In your experience, does this type of activity cause muscle catabolism or otherwise interfere with strength training?

Thanks.

P.S. I can't rep for a while because I'm a newbie and I got a little promiscuous with the repping yesterday.

I run on trails several times a week. I live 10 min from the Appalachian Trail and my daughters and I hike on it most Sunday afternoons.

Thousands of people lift and run or hike or whatever. It's hard to find the time and energy to do everything, but plenty of guys stay strong while doing it.

Thanks man. I got my reps back so I threw you one.

What you say is what I figured, but I don't have a lot of experience under my belt with lower body lifts. My legs and ass are decent just from the hiking plus I think I have good hindquarter genetics. I'm getting seriously into squats and deadlifts now and was wondering what I could expect. A few years back I was deadlifting and I found that it actually helped my hiking by strengthening my posterior for uphill. I also found it easier to carry the pack because my traps were stronger.

Hope he doesn’t spend all 0 of his reps in one place.

Not sure what that means, but thanks.

Hiked Mt Washington in NH a couple of years ago after around 10 months of crossfit, did not have any trouble with it, my brother and his friend did little in the way of fitness other than the odd hike here and there and they were destroyed the next day. I have a interest in hiking multiple days but cant find the time, will probably be doing some rucking this spring for off day cardio tho. Look up "Grouchyjarhead" in the journals.....he does some interesting stuff with a rucksack.

A bit of a close talker.

I'm not talking about traipsing in the woods,

I've never really traipsed. I've walked, ran, hiked, moseyed, sauntered, strolled, schlepped, peregrinated, strolled, and even ambulated, but I have yet to experience a good traipse. It's on my bucket list though.

Have you ever filled a big rubber ball with oil.

[Karl_Hungus]

Yeah, but it didn't work. So I've come up with a new idea: Ketchup and mustard in the same bottle. What do you think?

That sounds interesting sir.

Well, you are a tenacious little monkey. Alright, I’ll do it. Kramerica industries lives! Let’s get back to work!

Desert hiking is one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. I don't think it interfered with my strength training, and may have helped, but I know for a fact tht my scrambling ability improved in a major way when I started lifting weights.

I haven't been able to do it for the last year or so, and it's not something that you can do much of in the summertime in my part of the world, but I'm very much looking forward to starting it up again. I have several destinations in mind already.

You should really try traipsing. It's its own reward.

I was in that neck of the woods back in June - hiked Pierce, Eisenhower, and Madison. I hiked Washington back in 06. I've seen that Grouchyjarhead moniker around here so I'll look him up. Thanks.

Nevada's got to have some great hiking. I live in NJ so I have to travel at least to the Catskills if I want anything resembling mountains.

Karlos, try meandering. High quality meandering is > low-quality meandering, tho.

Meandering has been my primary method of getting through life.

Most who know me would confirm this.
