Farmers Walk

[wild_wild_wes]

Anyone here use Farmers Walks in their strength training routines? What equipment do you use?

Farmer's walk is a great strength/endurance exercise. I keep it simple and use heavy dumbells. Not much else to it, imo.

Yes, everyday. I use it to get warmed up and motivated. Keep it light - 50# dumbbells up and down the street for 15 minutes.

Every morning and evening unless I'm working my full time Medic job (24 on 48 off). Feed bags around about buckets of feed weigh roughly 20lbs and it takes 10 one way trips to fill all the cattle feeders.

I have a pair of five gallon gas jugs about 3/4 or so full of play sand; they weigh about 80 lbs each. I usually go for short distances between sets of KB or body weight exercises.

Sure, kettlebell in each hand and off I go!

All the time. Weight varies some. If I'm going heavy and at my gym I'll load up a trap bar and do farmer walk/sled push sets

I do it at the gym with heavier dumbells. Try to walk about 200 feet while maintaining great posture, repeat as I increase weight. If done right, it's an exercise from shoulder to calf.

Today: 1200m farmer's carry,70lbs. Every time you put down the KBs, sprint back to the start and then back to the KBs.

That's prescribed. The heaviest I have is one 45lb KB so I may have to do it twice.

I do this quite a bit. Either my own bodyweight in each hand (190 lbs) or 225 if I'm feeling up to it, in the gym parking lot, as many laps as I can bear.

The gym owner welded some farmer handles together; they weigh 25 pounds each and standard barbell plates can be added on.
