First time doing farmers walks today. I fucking love this exercise.
Was completely wrecked from pushing/pulling a prowler before this, and doing sprints.

The weight is only 75kg (165lbs) per hand.

Enjoy!


Here's a tip. If that's the distance you're going for, pick a weight that you can't complete the whole course with in 1 go. You'll drop the weight somewhere along the line, just take a breather (3-5 secs), regrip and go again till you complete the distance.

You'll make much better progress that way.

Sounds good, I'll give it a go next time.

My grip wasn't anywhere near failure on that run, was more so my shoulders and traps that were hurting.

One thing I noticed, and it's something I do with most exercises but just noticed it more with this one, is I forget to keep myself tight. My stomach was getting very relaxed and my shoulders too.

Keeping your core tight is your first priority, next is your leg muscles. The traps and shoulders and grip will just follow.

Don't mind your shoulders and traps at all, focus on what your grip and core can carry. You want your grip to fail during that course.

You should man, they're really good for conditioning.

You're much better off finding a steel fabricator and getting them to build a replica. Mine cost half the price as a real one and it does the exact same job.
Really good piece of gear.

Thanks m9
