I love the Farmers carry, I hold a 50lb dumbell in each hand for four circuits of 100 yards each(with a rest between). Very underrated exercise yet simple, looks a lot easier than it is! It's really a modified deadlift.
i used to do these on the dairy farm by using hand peaveys on small logs and carrying them to the woodstove. Nice to see all the chores on the farm i did in the 80's are now popular workouts!
Funny caveat to this..I wonder if walking up and down mountainsides with a 088 magnum stihl chainsaw can throw off the muscles when your right arm dominant. Doing that you obviously arms once in awhile but we gotta get alil uneven after awhile, even though the arm holding said saw is a fuken steel sleeve!
Love the farmers' carry. Thanks for the excellent tips to do this correctly in all its variety. toes to bar, isometric perpendicular hangs, and overhead cable curls are favs for core as well.
Never did this. I carry 12,5 kgs on a treadmil though. Maybe it's the same ?? Either way I think hopping a treadmil and increasing incline to 15% and walking very slow with dumbbells left and right to your hands is good, or optional a plate to your chest. I sometimes carry a 8 kg dumbbell left and a 20 kg right and swap after 5 minutes for a total of 30 minutes on a incline of 15% and speed 3,2 km/h (slower with big steps). I do this after leg days and it burns. The reason for two different dumbbells kg weight is so one side has to balance more for 5 minutes and then swap so the other side has more to balance. But I have no evidence if that is helpful or not. I have a good feeling though trying to walk straight with 16 kg pulling me to the right side while only 8kg are pulling me left so I have to balance more. And same goes when I swap after 5 minutes. Workout never felt bad and no pain so far.... I started off at 15% incline and 4km/h for 30 minutes and was wondering how I could make this harder without increasing speed so I can still read or watch youtube so I just added dumbbells lol. Once I get reduce incline and put off the weights I feel like gravity is gone and still march around the gym lol.
Thank you for the video! I have a question - Can I do this with a lateral pelvic tilt? I am dealing with it after my last acute back pain episode (it seems as a result of muscle disbalance, not a structural problem). Thank you!
Come on don't teach them to walk all dumb like that man. Snap city. Walk normal people and brace your core. Don't walk like your walking over a hurdle each step. Geez.
I hope you all are not grabbing no weights and gonna walk like what he's doing because you will never make it to your destination that way you can actually walk with it it's supposed to heavy on one side that way the other side will hold you up in an upright position that's like walking on the moon type
Some great variations to the Farmers Carry. Thank you.
Never thought of slow, thanks.

I run with 100 pound dumbells in each hand. Then when I get to the end, I launch them into my windshield.
Similar for me-but it’s always one of my neighbors’ windshields. Fuck ‘em!
😂😂😂@@donkeypant
Reminds me of the time I went bowling with the atlas stone

What would be a good daily routine. For example one minute of walking then 30 sec break then another minute or how many more reps?

Nice! Will try the slower walk pace next time
Question-How long to you carry them for?
from what I have been watching, a weight that enables you to walk less than a minute, supposed to be heavy
Careful with the "waiter's carry" (double arm overhead). It's safer to have one hand free just in case you lose control or your grip gives.
I was going to do both arms as a beginner. I think I'll start with 1 arm at a time.
For waiters carry Holding a plate with both hands is best imo you can bail safely by pushing it forward

Muscle misbalance may and mostly does generate a skeleton structural problem
Can u do the farmers walk everyday
It’s more about why do you think you would need to? 3-4 days a week is a solid amount.
@@Fitness4BackPain so if I say I
Want to increase risk strength. Is it good to do it every day
@@Jubby1 dont do it daily.....a few times a week helped me significantly....I'm 240 and use 30 Lb dumbells and walk for 3-5 minutes
Remember recovery day if you're not on steroids.
I was doing a too fast
I plan to buy 60lb sandbag. What's your advice for the movement? Same?
Can u do this everyday
I recommend walking barefoot or in barefoot shoes.

isometric exercise

I was thinking the same thing. You’re supposed to walk in a normal slow walking pace not static walking.
Yes I was thinking if you this also do the proper walk or carry like you say. Mix it up.
Not good to walk like your drunk! Police might stop you and ask for your ID!😮
I agree. Walk normally.
Lol😂 snap city
👍
60 lb.? Looks like 20 lb. dumbbell!
He’s doing a demo. Pretend it’s 60
Let’s say these are 60 pounds…

There are MANY types.
He's just making this up as he goes. Very poor demonstration of a good excersise.
