Moreover, he also added how great he felt doing the exercise and added in the caption, “These felt extra good today.” Unlike many who would engage in minimal reps of such a strenuous workout, Walker had other  intentions. “3 sets- 12-15 reps (yes a bit of higher volume, if it feels good just go with it) that’s okay sometimes,” he suggested.

Much like extreme fitness routines, Walker also stresses on minute details about fitness regimes. Even, pre-workouts. He once called out people for having their pre-workout without water.

And also do you really think it looks cool?” Walker questioned.
