Would anybody know what CT would recommend for weighted carrying frequency?
I’m trying to preserve strength while I diet down and lose some of this gut, and realized I don’t do much conditioning work. If I were to do a short but intense weighted carry at the end of EACH lifting session, is that too much?
I lift 5 days out of the week.
Here is what I was thinking: After a shoulders session, what about 3 total minutes of an overhead carry?
After an arm session, what about the goblet carry for 3 total minutes? Would this also be okay after a Back session?
This is an example of what’s going through my mind. I’d like to know what you guys think of this so far.
I do carries 6-7 days per week. Typically I do one style of carry per session and rotate between 3 different styles.
For example, on a training day where I focus on snatch grip high pulls I do overhead carries after the high pull work. On a day where I concentrate on front squats I do yoke carries and currently on bench press day I’m doing farmers walks.
With weighted carries I believe CT was recommending a 1:1 work to rest ratio (ie 60 seconds carry/60 seconds rest) and 3-5 carries/session or something along those lines.
Noted. Is this still okay for someone who doesn’t have access to ideal peri-workout nutrition? I can’t afford the awesome stuff, like Plazma or MAG-10, but I use SWF, though only one scoop (struggling graduate student) and Whey protein.
