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.

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?

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

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.
@marzmarch8 жыл бұрын
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.

@geoffskate7 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.

Then change gyms or make some implements of your own out of towing straps and PVC Pipe. Solutions, my friend...

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

I'm in the same boat as you. I have always had trouble with sleep, but people swear it makes a huge difference so i am just going off what the proverbial "they" say

Nader Chowdhury i know it has been 11 months but i must answer. i have been working a night job for 6 momths at the start iwas good got lots more food in me and hitting prs but now its cathing up to me the lack of sleep so i belive sleep is more important then food or training.
