Simple exercise. Hold the heaviest weights you can in each hand and walk with it. Such a great exercise, total body workout. I've seen massive gains in a short period of time doing them.

the cons i could see:
need space to walkaround
need really heavy dumbbells (gud luk finding dumbbells as heavy as your bodyweight)
hard to measure for reps and sets
hard to spot for form

You can do this in gym.

I do this once in awhile holding 45lbs plates and walking around the whole gym. As for reps and sets, I think most effective measure would be according to time. e.g. 3x 1min or perhaps 3x 1 round

nice.
can i do something similar except i jog?

personally, i used dumbell as its train my hand grip too. btw cargocult, u mean massive gain in term of strength or muskel?

The way I count reps and sets is to count the amount of times I go between point A and B. Then the next time try and improve this number.


No, not recommended. The weights should be really heavy, so unless you're superman, running is out of the question anyway

Gains in strength mainly, but I've noticed my forearms, traps and calves get a really good workout with this and at least to me, seem to be bigger. I use dumbbells as well, my grip is much stronger than it used to be.

If you don't have enough weight to use, wrap the handles of the DBs with a towel and grip it. Hoo boy that'll kill your forearms.

Try the same concept, but while doing pullups as well.

Used to do that with the 100 pounders,heck of a grip workout with the towels.
