This is a fantastic exercise to help prepare for christmas shopping with the wife...

Farmers walk is the most underrated workout in the gym that has a high yield.

You forgot to mention they are the BEST move for forearms. People need to stop doing wrist curls (which can pinch a nerve running through your wrist) and start doing farmers walks for bigger forearms. They are also great for traps. Isometric contraction baby. Cheers !

I really like these "to the point" how-to exercise tutorials.

You look like a buff version of the sheriff from Stranger Things. You should take over for the role lol

farmer walks are a really great functional exercise

Im fortunate enough to live on a large rural property, so I have lots of space and varied inclines for this. I then came up with something really simple that i call "the Sisyphus push", put simply i load my wheelbarrow full of rocks and push it up a hill, then control its descent walking back down. It's great for arms, quads, and upper back, and then walking up and down the hill really strengthens your grip. Holding that wheelbarrow while going down a 18-20° incline with a few hundred pounds in it at a controlled pace feels like a full body workout.

One of my favorite exercises. It's nice having to go around people and equipment when the gym is full.

It’s been 2 months since i’ve last watched this. And I FEEL stronger, more confident and ABLE in using my body. I have a much stronger grip (But I also did other exercises for that) and I feel great honestly, thank you so much for this video it has helped me tremendously in my own life endeavors ☀️🌺🌸❤️

In this video the instructor expertly explains every detail to this exercise. Not all people bare the ability to communicate effectively to train others. I watched this video just seeking to visually see how it is done. At the end of this video I gained a foundation and more in-depth understanding about how to use and master this exercise.

Without a doubt one of the simplest exercises you can do at the gym; you can literally summarise it as "pick up some dumbbells and walk around".

no idea this exercise had a name Me and my friends just called it the “grab shit and go”

I tried one-gallon coolant bottles (unopened) with a horizontal comfortable handle while wearing slightly padded grip gloves. So about 10 pounds per hand. This worked perfectly for me, as I’m not big & strong and am trying to build strength in my damaged shoulders & upper back. Better to start lighter and manageable than to cause injury. (The bottles are also easier to set down (12” high) and walk with (3-4” wide) so they have a slim profile and won’t bump into legs like the weights would.)

I love these videos!!! So good for when you're in the gym and just need a quick refresher on form for an exercise but don't want to have to sift through a super long video. Your channel has definitely changed how I approach my workouts and planning, keep it up!!

This is a great exercise for everyday life. I was actually introduced to this when I was in high school wrestling. 🤼‍♀️💪🏼

good excercise but my gym is always too busy. too much traffic, not even a clear lane for walk

i do that exercise when i buy 2 cases of beer and walk around parking lot drunk looking for my car😂🤪

When's the beard grooming tutorial?

Want grip strength? Rope climbing is a great exercise too dudes and girls!!!

I've noticed strength increase when I added this exercise into my routine

I love these kind of exercises, because are practical and realistic with a natural situation

Farmers walk to me is what deadlifts used to be to me. It’s a fundamental exercise. I get an insane pump and feel a rush of testosterone when I do them. My forearms, traps, and shoulders are bigger and my grip is stronger. I walk the same distance and go up in 5 pound increments when I can hit that distance for 3-4 sets.

Nice can't wait for the Bulking Plan video series

I just started farmers walk and it was one of the most painful workouts I’ve tried, it’s great

Hopper from Stranger Things?

These with thick bar grips are torture for forearms

Farmers walk also build some muscle endurance as well?

Gonna incorporate these into my routine to get my grip strength up for my deads. 405lbs has become easy but my grip is the bottleneck to getting me to 495. Thanks for the quick video!

Just did this at work with 2 heavy buckets for about 100 feet and I could feel it. 💪

Careful picking up heavy kettlebells off the floor. Make sure you hinge from the waist and keep your back straight, squatting as much as possible. I do this exercise, along with the suitcase carry three time a week. I initially moved up to heavier weights too soon and experienced sciatica in my right leg. I took a break for two weeks and dropped 15 lbs each weight and it has not returned. I’m 73, so carrying 100 lbs in each hand isn’t happening. I carry 50, and right now, that’s enough. I don’t do this for grip. I do it for core stability and focus on tightening my core while walking. As I get more core strength, I’ll gradually move up in weight. Remember, it’s not how much you can pick up. It’s how much it takes to reach your goal.

Thanks, bearded Johnny Bravo

bro,you guys gotta give us the hair/beard gains videos! 12 week beard and hair plan 2017

I recently added this to my workouts and get an amazing pump. I never thought or was taught to do the farmers walk.

One of the best exercises to build you right up!

great exercise! will try it in my homegym today! BUFF DUDES YEEAAHH!

My office gym is 2 doors down on the same floor and I go over on my ‘smoke breaks’ and do 1 minute farmers walks a couple of times a day and it’s great for stress!

Oh wow. So glad I found out about this. I love super simple exercises

It also builds the forearms

Glad to hear about the upper back muscles. Mine are burning and I was hoping that didn't mean I did something wrong

I do this exercise with ONE dumbbell only, and change hands when reached failure. That way I also work the stabilising side core muscles that keep my body straight and prevent it from being pulled out of balance by the weight of the dumbbell.

I don't know any farmers which walk about carrying dumbbells. Most don't walk at all. They sit in luxury tractors with comfy seats, heating and sound systems.

How did I not know this channel existed?! You guys should promote this more

i like the walk too. its no joke, real work on a simple movement.

deadlifting them from the floor helps because you start in a stronger position then pulling the dbs off the rack and having the momentum of the weight pulling you towards the floor to start

I dont like to slightly contract n elevate my traps when I do these, i like to retract my scapula and just let my shoulders hang as low as possible to stretch tf outta my traps. Works gr8

Wanna say thanks for the tutorial. Your videos are excellent. You helped me a lot.

I did theese today, i got up to 25 kg on each dumbbell, my forearms were really tense after that

Started adding this regularly in my workout and boy the core just 🔥

My new favorite exercise. Chalk is a must for this tho

*_I INCORPORATE THIS EXERCISE WITH FAT GRIPS. AS A RESULT, MY FOREARMS ARE THE SIZE OF HOUSE CATS AND MY HANDSHAKE IS ON PAR WITH THAT OF AN ARMY GENERAL._*

Brandon is looking BEASTLY!

I do my farmers walk (carries) with concrete blocks rather than dumbells or kettlebells due to greater difficulty to get and maintain a grip on the concrete blocks.

My weights are free weights Legs Farmer Walk, 9.4kg 2 set EZ Curls, 11.5kg 2 sets 15 reps Good Mornings, 13.1kg 2 sets 15 reps Stiff Dead Leg Lift, 13.4kg 2 sets 15 reps Squats 14.6kg 2 sets 20 reps

Brandon, you are one strong dude.

Impressive! My trainer guides me around the gym - obviously not where there are hoards of people lifting heavy weights, but it certainly adds to the challenge when not walking in a straight line. I was able to walk pretty far last night, graduating to 30lb dumbbells in each hand. Of course when I reached home base I wanted to just drop the damn things!

Just found the video and channel and love it. Going to start working this into my routines. Question-on what day can I do these?

Thanks for the info Bryce Harper

it's an overall strength and power builder, especially the forearms and legs

I LOVE this exercise. Taxes every muscle in the body, from toes to fingers. (Except I refer to it as the Farmer's Carry.) Whatevah! ;-)

I like using straps after my grip gives out so I still get to work all other muscles. Also using straps after your grip gives out means you're going beyond failure with your grip which should still result in grip gains.

I saw a knee injury occur when farmer walking with heavy weights -on the turn -probably best for most to walk in straight line. Put down, turn around, pick up, and walk back ion straight line.

Extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Ohh, that’s how it’s done, was wondering about it. Thanks for the demonstration! Awesome beard too!

For some reason my wife has now been asking me to carry all the groceries to the car. :D

If I saw the gym this empty, I would have a farmer’s walk day.

Thanks, David Harbour!

Straps are perfectly fine to use. Use them If you need them.

I'm a musician. I use straps... I need finger dexterity. If my forearms are toast I can't play... there's many benefits to this beyond grip strength.

You need fat grips. Standard dumbbells = too easy.

Man after watch a lot of gym videos i realize my gym aint got shit😂

Farmers walk! PFT…Stop ordering your groceries online and go shopping 3 times a week and carry your groceries from your car to your house in bags with handles. Now you’ve done your “farmers walk”🤣

THANKS I love you Buff dude!!!!💪💪💪

Amazing video

this man walks

My PT gave me this to do not knowing I'm a steel fabricator and steel erector... my grip was zero issue, PT loaded weight until my back gave out hahah

Buff dudes best part is short videos more information 💯🔥

i feel my shoulders when doing this, is this bad?

Rhett been hitting the gym

This guy is gonna make shopping super easy

Buff beard walk 😝 looking good 💪🏻

Man, you're strong!

Farmer CARRY.

great description. ThankYou

It's best to do that on an incline treadmill.

Do you have to walk? Wouldn't your arms still benefit if you just held them in place? I ask because I wanna do this at home but there's not much free space to walk around with weights.

You can also practice this by going to the store by walking around with two full shopping bags. The sad thing is, you have to stop sometimes.

What i found MOST complicated in this one is - proper weight landing at the end, i f**cked my back for a week now and it still hurts. I really cant drop the weight cuz im training at home and at 4th floor, my neighbours would freak out if i just would drop over 100kg :) in this video i saw you landing like doing a dumbell lunges, gonna try this one.

Thank you so much with sharing your tips.

How to choose the load for this exercise? Do we measure the volume in meters, walking time or what? Thx!

Well done!

Dope Video n I'm try this 2morrow 💪💪💪

great tutorial and handsome instructor!

Ive been doing this carrying groceries back from the car for years 😂

Getting ready for grocery shopping

Shouldn't this exercise improve endurance as well? It almost seems like cardio to me.

Pull ups , deadlifts and farmers carry best for strength
