    Probably, because muscle weights more than snow.

    I overheard my coworker say that her hair dresser got all bulked up from too much snow shoveling and now she looks like She-Hulk. So I would be careful.

    It all depends on the intensity of your shoveling and the density of the snow. ( rhymed) And if it's done on a repetitive basis. So I need more info before I can render my opinion!

    I need to see your food diary before I can tell you. The amount of potassium you are ingesting has everything to do with shoveling-induced bulkification.

    Yes, especially if you're using progressively larger shovels.

    Depends on if it is a wet and heavy or light a fluffy snow. But I would be careful either way. Just the repetitive motion from shoveling can cause specific muscle groups to work more than others. This could causing uneven toning and muscle bulk to build up forcing you to do unnecessary workouts to even things out.

    But does it have more calories?

    I think you have your cause and effect reversed. You would bulk up in order to shovel snow. --rml_16

    I spent the last 5 minutes laughing. How many calories do you think I have burned? How should I log this? And did I spot reduce my behind?

    Use a smaller shovel with more reps and you'll just tone up. Bigger shovel, you'll bulk up like a powerlifter.

    I am green and I am incredible... JK We’ve had record breaking snow fall this year; I haven’t noticed any extra “bulk” per se

    it could have some HCG. Dip a pregnancy test stick into the yellow snow, and wait for the results. If it's positive, then :drinker: !
