Answer 2

You'll gain a little muscle that way, but it will be limited. What you actually need for real muscle growth are heavy weights, which you won't find usually lifting just boxes, groceries, etc. I suppose if they're lifted in certain ways you might see some progress. But, if you do too much of the particular lifting or hauling, you quickly start utilizing type 1 (fast twitch) muscle fibers that deal with endurance activities, and these muscle fibers don't grow much.

It won't be the same as if you're lifting weights in the gym. I've never seen a UPS driver or grocery stocker that has gotten really big just from their job.

If you were inactive before, you will gain muscle from the increased level of activity, but you will hit a ceiling after a few months, and would need to do weight training for more gains.

Answer 5

Yes you will. The amount of muscle that you gain depends on the weight of the items that you are carrying and how often you do it.
