Never thought I'd be so impressed with a chain looped through a weight plate, but here I am.

[@fittotheristin]

This proves that it's not always about the gym or the equipment, but what YOU (or the trainer) can do with what you got. I love power-rows but cannot afford my own sled/plates right now so tire/tow straps will do! Thank you Alan!!

[@matt1357111317]

Thanks for the video, Alan! I just made an an axle bar out of pipe like you suggested, and it works great. I filled a 7 foot section of 1.5 inch galvanized steel pipe with concrete and it ended up weighing just under 35 lbs.

Great stuff Thrall! I've been lifting natural rocks in our fields since I was a kid. It's a great feeling but not as easy as you may think.

[@daves.5365]

I use the 35 pounders sometimes. I'm ashamed of myself now

[@thirdtrysacharm6177]

There's nothing wrong with 35s, as long as you don't pretend they're 45s.

[@staceycoultas5014]

I use kg instead of pounds. Also use donuts. Idgaf. The donuts are mostly for dumbbells though.

[@JimGiant]

I use them to raise the front of my feet when I do calf raises.

[@dokterkarel]

I made farmers walk handles from an iron profile they use in construction. I had them cut to around 1 and a half meter and welded handles on them aswell as 2 small 50mm towers to fit plates. Best farmer walk handles I've ever used and it cost me next to nothing.

[@4himsanctified]

Yup, starting to assemble mine. Was lifting rocks yesterday and carrying concrete blocks. Getting me a big tire

Awesome and helpful video as always. Keep it up Alan!

[@kristopherhilton8065]

Perfect for what I'm looking for man thanks a lot. I dont know of any strongman training by me and I'm looking to get into the sport since power lifting is kind of boring me after 10 years

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

I wish I could tryout atlas stones, but no gym around here has them. Living in the city without a truck or anything makes getting a sizable natural stone kind of hard as well. I do have a 124 lbs Monster Kettlebell that I occasionally lift without the handle yet feel like its smaller size changes the lift a bit as it's more cupping with the hands then wrapping with the arms to make use of the back muscles more. Plus, being a sphere that naturally wants to roll, purposely avoiding the handle so that it won't "help" often makes it even more awkward.

[@EdB-qh4up]

I'm 60. I lift weights as a, hmmm, Strengthbuilder, I do like compound bb exercises, since my 16s. Man, you changed my approach to everything I know of the Iron World. In a matter of fact... you're a hero to me. Besides, you're funny as fuck... and have a wonderful music taste. Greetings from Brazil/RJ/Rio de Janeiro/Copacabana.

[@StefanBruhn83]

The farmers implements could be something to throw in the gym-bag. How long should the pieces of chain be I wonder?

[@gerbster14]

4:37 Shifty Eyes haha... you "found" it, suuuuure

[@noalions5694]

Hell yea good for military units that for whatever reason just can't afford anything lol, thanks man good video

[@JimGiant]

I found a few even cheaper options for my girlfriend. Axle bar: Get pipe insulation with 1 inch inner and 2 inch outer diameter. Wrap it with none slip tape at the points you grip, cut it open and wrap it around a normal barbell. It'll fall apart fairly quickly with an advanced male using it but it's sufficient for most strongwomen pressing. Rope pulls: Find someone strong and have them grip the rope facing the opposite direction. As you pull have them feed you the rope but applying a lot of resistance. Atlas stone: Buy air drying clay in bulk (works out a fraction of the price of buying a stone), form a ball out of it and wait for it to dry. Don't know how well it'll work for large stones but the 80lb stone I've made is holding together nicely (being careful not to drop it). Since it's a lower density than concrete and forms a larger stone for it's size should train the technique required for heavier stones.

[@mattcalfee6781]

Alot of great tips and ideas 💡 👌 👍

[@jaspervandervliet6346]

Great post again Alan! Thankfully I’ve got access to a fully equipped CrossFit/Strongman gym. But still I got some ideas for my home gym, cause well... sometimes I don’t want to leave house haha

[@nicholasabram5938]

I'm excited to try some of these out, thanks for sharing!

[@markdollente4852]

How long of a chain should i get for farmer carries?

[@lwskiner]

Excellent video but 35lb plates come in very handy for T-bar rows when you just have a landmine to use, they give a better range of motion but you knew that already.

[@ryceryder85]

[@nicklorigo3507]

Such an awesome vid! ive been looking for a gym in san jose with strongman equipment that isnt too pricey

[@arnoldsimage]

What was the length of chain, please?

[@ashesudeeni]

I want to know also

[@ethanbynon4680]

2 years too late, but I just made the farmers walk handles from this vid today. I am 6 feet tall, so I guess-timated about 4 feet of chain would do it. After loading a 45 lbs plate I still have 1-2 inch clearance from the floor.

[@brendanhill5948]

Hey this is a serious request... Do a video about your beard care.

[@garrettlamarre5034]

Really like the video! Always want to do more strong man but I dont have any goods gyms near me.

[@ptrainingbytim]

[@eatmeatandliftweights5754]

I love farmers carries, my gym does not have farmers carries implements, so I made my own watching this video, great idea 💡

[@hopeandrelax]

Thank you, I love the sport but as you mention the stuff gets expensive quick

[@greer776611]

Damn- you're right- I don't even own any 35 lb plates- weird!

[@doomjedi1]

Great video. What length of chain do you recommend for the DIY farmer carry? I have some plates and fat gripz and want to do the same, but I am unsure what the right length to buy is. Thank you.

[@osirisvique703]

Someone can tell me, if a get a 2 inch pipe, will it fit on any olympic plates?

snuffcarl those are lifting straps for handling cargo. 2 ton SWL sling is more than enough. The one Alan's showed seems to be at least SWL 5 ton.

[@jamie91995]

Is it just me or do strongmen always seem to do exercises that destroy their body? I’m not trying to hate I’m just wondering

[@rolfbjorn9937]

I'd look at the so called "Fitness" models, crossfitters and bodybuilders wayyyy before strongmen. Most of the strongman equipment and exercizes mimicks real life objects way better than any other gym equipment. Logs, rocks, animals aren't barbell or machine shaped.

[@rift0tripper]

How so, do you have anything to reference. If any strongmen hurt their body is because they push themselves to be the best, and unfortunately trying to be number one comes with a cost. But if you did these, while keeping your health in mind there should be no long term bodily damage to your body. Lift smart not with your ego.

[@Gamerangs]

Rolf Bjorn agreed, I've began doing my own strongman training because my every day job is lifting guard rail, weighted cones, rubber weights and 5 foot posts. It makes sense from a health perspective as well, when sitting in a cubicle doesn't translate well to lifting heavy shit in your day to day.

[@LohJiaHung]

At the highest level then yes, but so does any other physical sport tbh. For health and fitness then unless you're a dimwit no.

[@nikogagnon6614]

Destroying your body is a result of poor programming and/or bad technique. I train strongman events every single day and my body is stronger and healthier than ever.

[@adamlloyd9931]

Alan makes the best videos I've pick up alot from watching him. Keep up the good work Alan your really good at what you do.

[@nicomcconnell9772]

These Farmers Walks handles got to be the best idea.

[@kylethekidable]

For basic, personal use I agree. If you have aspirations to compete and want to practice your farmers walk, save up and buy a set, or find a place that has some. The weight will be loaded out to the front and back making it shift more if hand placement isn't perfect, leading to some serious wrist strength building. What we used at my gym instead of this, is two of the ez curl bars. Similar loading but even harder to stabilize at the wrist. If you can walk 200lbs per hand with a pair of those, 350+ per hand is cake with a real farmers walk set.

[@nicholascauton9648]

As an alternative for the grip, PVC elbow pipes work great.

[@tonyoliveira4786]

This man knows the struggle of opening a gym and is sharing the secrets to us other strongman. You could say he’s running himself of business. But he’s helping others that can’t go to his gym

[@markhofacker7173]

You got a thumbs up for the surprise ending

[@Noiconnotag]

An old video but still... - if you looking for strong cheap/free straps for anything, get a fire hose. Your local fire department will probably give you one for free. These hoses come in 25-50 meters (~82-165 feet), you can make endless things from it. I got one 50 meters hose and it was enough to make pulling straps, gymnastic rings straps, belt for weighted dips, a couple of adjustable add-on resistance weights for bar (instead of chains), and I still have left overs. I saw one guy making a CrossFit battle rope from this hose and other use it to make bags, wallets and whatever.

[@Boofmasterflex]

[@llamaczech]

Its such a pity its hard to find 50mm OD steel piping in Australia that isn't square, only 1.5m long, or 6.5m long. Everything else comes in round 2.5m lengths.

[@jamieganderton]

You've gone a lot bald from last year... Hereditary????? Or anabolic?

[@MrMhtmht]

Alan, have your Strongmanlifts suffered from all the Powerlifting you are doing lately? Like, less endurance for carrying events?

[@jimvick8397]

Great idea with the chain handle... I think I already have all that stuff... Last night I got a nice loader tire for $40 and it fits perfectly in the back of my pickup. The problem is, I can't get a decent grip on it to load it into the back of the truck. I'm thinking that if I can get a decent chain handle on it, I can deadlift it just enough to shove it in by myself...
