You got them boulder shoulders with extra boulders! Exactly what I'm looking for, as I have a neck that makes giraffes look short. Farmers walks also give me runners high haha

I started lifting and strength training 12 weeks ago and I just found your channel a week ago. I'm truly addicted and want to learn from you as much as possible. I wish I would've watched this before yesterday, because I did my first set of Farmer Walks with dumbbells at my gym and felt something pop near my AC Joint. Going to get it checked out tonight. I know now that I shouldn't have let my shoulders drop and flex my traps while walking.. I should've kept my shoulders back and chest high. I just hope that it's a level 1 or 2 AC Joint injury and that I will heal 100%. I really want to start doing Strongman Training and this took the wind out of my sails. I know you have been through some bad injuries and that inspires me.. Thank you for the great channel!

great info. i thought i knew everything about farmers walk, but you taught me something and i can't wait to try it. i already knew and agree with every other fact you said, but i never thought of cancelling momentum around the turns by opposing the handles. fantastic idea! i'm actually excited. 54 years old, can carry 210 in each hand for 25 feet out, turn, 25 feet return, 420 total. the only thing you didn't mention was romanian grip. i use it because i use triceps bars for my farmers walk. a cheap way out of buying fw handles. much better than dumbells. if you're reading this and like the idea, don't get the threaded handles. get the smooth handles and use spring clamps. it will save you time and aggravation during your workout. but romanian grip isn't possible with thick handles. you won't be able to reach and overlap your thumbs with your fingers. it takes a while to toughen the thumbs, but it's well worth it. probably get an extra 20 pounds in each hand with romanian grip. i learned it from a tommy kono seminar at york barbell when they inducted bill kazmeir into the strongman hall of fame. great event. kono is a genius. you may also like, magnus samuelson says to tighten the traps into an actual shrug to free up the legs. now i've tried it, but i don't really like it. i like my arms to just hang off my shoulders like ropes. this way i can put more of my mind into my grip, and let hip strength drive me. i'm sure it all has to do with body types. anyway, kudos my friend, great video. i will check you out often. maybe sometime i'll send you some outdoor workout video.

Hey Brian, stumbled across your channel a while back and you have become one of my favorite youtubers! Seriously do not understand how you do not have like 500,000 subs! Anyway, I have a question/request. How would one go about programming strongman training? Would love if you made a video on this. I always wondered how many days are spent doing barbell movements & how many days are for strongman implements. How would you work them into lets say a 3x a week fullbody routine, or an uppper lower split? Keep up the good work man!

I'm aiming for total body HYPERTROPHY, not strength nor endurance etc...what percent of my 1rm (570lbs) should I start with..I'm aiming for 3 sets of 30 yard walks..my endurance is okay but I just want to put on size...thanks!

Brian, thank you for doing these videos. I feel like you're going to be one of the most sought after coaches in the near future. Could you please elaborate on exactly how to breathe and brace during the farmer's walk. Breathing and bracing has added exponential gains to all of my other lifts. But here we are walking, we must breathe at some point, right? I've been breathing and bracing while picking up the implements. Then breathing normally while walking, bracing as much as possible. Am I doing it wrong?

Brian, New subscriber great channel...! Question: Can you build decent leg size with just specializing in farmers carries? Or do you need to add in some form of front or back squats? I was thinking of the following: Monday: Heavy short distance Tuesday: off Wednesday: lite long distance Thursday: off Friday: medium / medium distance Repeat... Would I need to add any dead lifts or is this enough hip hinging? Not a strongman just enjoy all the benifits of the loaded carries. Many thanks....and Happy New Year. Best regards, Eric

Wicked video. I learned a whole lot. I always hesitate using farmers walk implement cause my gym has a uni-directional indoor track where we are allowed to use them so I'm always forced to go the full 200m. That's when taking breaks every so often counteracts my ego. I'm definitely going to implement them more often. Which lift days (bench, dealing, squat, ohp or row) do you recommend adding these farmers walks to?

Question - Brian - have you any experience and/or thoughts that you can share regarding the use of SPUD portable farmers handles? I have been thinking about purchasing them because they are portable (convenient) and they can handle the weight. However I do question whether the grip and the "to/fro movement" (or lack thereof) might not transition well to traditional farmer's handles work.
@marzmarch

I made some from slings and pipe. Works grip and traps and trains the movement. But you already identified the major difference between handles. Pull height is different and easier with straps as well. But they do kill the body.

I don't have a tear yet (I think) in my biceps and the area that the pec connects to the left arm, but I feel something nasty there when I stretch. I have been doing nothing for the past week and a half, hoping for the best! lol that is the only way I know on how to combat that!

I recently started doing farmers walks at my gym, I did them three times a week for a week and then started to do another session the next week and could barely do them because the pain in my knees.

Im doing farmers walk with a hex bar. Does it make much of a difference if i drop the weight at the end, turn and pick it back up or should i keep hold of it and turn. Im worried about the heavy weight twisting my back with the turning momentum with very heavy weight
@geoffskate
@geoffskate 7 жыл бұрын
In the turn of the weight, you make it look easy with one plate. But.. what if I put more plates? Doesn't look easy to cross the outside wing over the top inside wing with a bunch of plates. Another problem is that I can't just drop the weight and grab it again in the turn because it hurts A LOT and the calluses gets worse (I would only do it in a competition). Is there any weight or distance that I should not do the turns? In my gym i have 50-60 feet of distance to walk. Thanks! And by the way.. this channel is amazing! Subscribed.

Man, Its almost 2am and I need to go to sleep but all I want to do is to pick some heavy shit in my hands and go with it for a walk. People would think that Im some robber or something. I think a better idea would be if I'll do it tomorrow morning. Peace

What if my gym doesnt have those bars? My last gym had a hex bar but it was just too far. What bars can I use that are in the average gym?

Hey Brian, what are your thoughts on using a trap bar if you don't have farmers implements or dumbbells that go heavy enough?

For general strenght purposes is it ok to do this on deadlift/lower body day? I find this excersise very taxing.
@BrianAlsruheOfficial
@BrianAlsruheOfficial 8 жыл бұрын
Absolutely, it works most of the same muscle groups as the deadlift so i think that works well.

Hey Brian, awesome content! Could you clarify why using dumbbells rather than specific farmers walk equipment will be more harsh on your grip?
@BrianAlsruheOfficial
@BrianAlsruheOfficial 8 жыл бұрын
Because they roll out of your hand like a double overhand deadlift. The farmer's handles pull straight down . The weight distribution changes the entire game man!

Brain, this video has been incredibly helpful! The advice on the turn is awesome. I would have never figured that one out on my own. It's made a huge difference in my farmer's carries. Do you have a "How to Yoke Carry"? I've been working my way though your channel, but haven't seen it yet. Cheers, JK

Thank samna, but I have't made that one yet. My Strongman videos get less views than anything so I only throw them in sparingly. I wish there was more of an audience because I have a LOT to say about that kind of stuff!

+Brian Alsruhe Brian, could you explain what you mean about the sport's stigma? I didn't know it had a stigma. I thought bodybuilding had more of a stigma because of the *extreme* steroid use and unnatural looking physiques, whereas strongman was pretty respected (as functional, authentic etc.).

Hey, man. Do you shrug your shoulders as you walk, or do you let the weights pull down on the traps (where you get that downward stretch on the traps)?

I'm just curious what kind of various footwear you use for all the different Strongman events. Do you just use one flat shoe for everything?
@BrianAlsruheOfficial

Nope! Barefoot for deadlifts, only shoes for squat and press event's and Nike Freeruns for carries, hope that helps!

im gonna look into making my own like you suggested, btw does bad sleep quality affect your strength progression or workouts, i feel like if you have diet in check sleep is not that major but this is coming from someone who has trouble staying asleep for more than 4-5 hours so im kinda bias
