I had to go back and watch it again 😂

As Joe Rogan suggested in one of his podcasts, farmer’s carry (2 hands) is better for shoulders and traps, whereas suitcase carry (1 hand) is better for emphasis on core muscles and lower back. Both are amazing for grip strength and forearms.

I do these every time I’m in the gym, first thing. It wakes up my body, tightens the core. Arms out slightly to the side. Shoulders back enough to straighten the spine. Never slouch. One in each hand. 25 lbs each side for me. That’s up from 20 last month. 100-200 meters each rep. I don’t need a ripped to hell six pack. I need a tight core. It sets me up for every other exercise I do. Chest work, arm work, quads, all of it. Thanks for this video. I wish more people did these.

Farmers carry has been my favourite exercise for years. I used to have horrendous posture from pc gaming slouched over. The carry pulled my back muscles to the proper place and strengthened my grip like nothing I’ve ever experienced. The dumbbells keep your shoulder blades pinned back and down and give such a nice stretch on your traps. Your forearms will will also balloon up. It’s been a long process trying to fix my posture but this without a doubt has been the best way to do it I’ve found.

Slumped back head forward(basically default posture when relaxed) is not actually bad posture it doesn’t have any long term permanent effects on your back though you may feel a bit sore but thats mainly because you were sitting to long not saying sitting up straight is bad it actually is better for you as it passively trains your form, just don’t want ppl to feel like they’re murdering their back if they sit slumped.

@@ManicMoe The first thing to improve was probably my grip strength because that’s what’s going to fail first every time with this exercise. So your forearms and hands get very strong first but once you learn to pinch your shoulders back, get a good mind muscle connection and carry with your large back muscles like lats, traps and rhomboids your bad posture has no choice but to improve. Make sure to keep your chest up and really try to let your back muscles hold the weight steady. Starting with a lighter set of dumbbells can make the mind muscle connection easier to achieve since your grip won’t be the main thing on your mind.

I’m 65. I do farmers walk and suitcase walks weekly in the gym. I work out in a GOOD gym with some good solid gym boys in there. But I’m the ONLY person doing farmers and suitcase walks. I could never understand why! I started off doing suitcase walks with a 45# plate. Then I got good at it and started doing same weight only longer. I like suitcase walk because it is good for core stability and because it’s great in an airport!! If you know what I mean, you know what I mean! Then I started farmers walks with a pair of 45# plates. Now I can do 65# dumbbells. I wish my gym had big boy kettlebells as they would be ideal for both exercises. The 45# plates are great but hard to go up in weight! Good video. I certainly appreciated it.

Worked up to carrying body weight in each hand, upper back/traps exploded, core stability in all other lifts greatly improved. Include them in every program now.

At one point I was delivering papers in the morning as a side gig, I set myself up with two bags criss-crossed that I would scoop and carry with each hand to avoid my shoulders being sliced into. Eventually I would run the whole delivery route starting with 7kg of papers in each bag at the start. It was so awesome and I got so fit, miss that job. It was for a paper shop that delivered to Glasgow University and it was so beautiful walking through the main uni building at dawn.

I do this as a grocery delivery person and appreciated the strongman with groceries pic 😂

Loaded carries, are my favourite! Especially helpful in my day-to-day life.

The biggest problem is people love rushing this exercise, thus causing unnecessary spine movements that cause them pain. Walk at a slower pace at that same time feeling the grip and the weight pulling you will give you a great workout in stability and strength. I like doing singles with dumbells but I use the hex bar to apply more weight. I am beginning to love grip training.

Does Farmer Walks know how you feel about him?

Its all fun and games when you can feel your organs being crushed by your body weight from holding it in your right arm to long, but your determinded to make it to that pole.

I do daily farmer walks because I was a gym trainer and people don't rerack plates and dumbles thanks to gym members I don't do exercise I still grow 😅 💪 🙃.

As a PT Plus gym instructor. Obviously, some of the duties are having to tidy up the gym. Over the years, I have caused lower lumber disc bulge to myself from carrying heavy dumbbells with one arm. These days, when I have to tidy up the gym if I'm carrying a heavy dumbbell, say past, 30kg I always make sure that I use 2 hands and carry it essential to my body.

Frank Zane (bodybuilder with one of the smallest waists) was a strong advocate against using weighted sit ups and weighted side bends because they would overdevelop the obliques/ rectus abdominis and this can ruin V taper aesthetic physique So basically abs training will make the waist smaller which is good for aesthetic physique but weighted abs training will only overdevelop the obliques which is bad for aesthetics What about single arm farmer walk? Will this exercise overdevelop the obliques like weighted sit ups and weighted side bands?

My favorite exercise

An absolutely underrated exercise. Only seen 1 other person at my gym that has done it so far. It helped with my grip strength and getting a bigger forearm

People who do farmer walks with one hand end up having stronger core muscles compared to 2

Been dealing with back pain and feeling old for a while, and finally started doing long farmers walks with 35s. (I’m 160) . Also started squatting/lunging with them. I noticed I get way more engagement with longer and slower strides. Makes me really work my stabilizing muscles. I feel great and don’t wake up feeling like crap anymore and drive is up. The lesson I learned is: DONT SKIP LEG GLUTES OR BACK WORKOUTS. THE ENTIRE BODY WORKS TOGETHER. I had always been very fit and solid but didn’t have a big chest so I focused on bench too much and neglected everything else and screwed my shoulders/back/hips all up.

I do suitcase carries with an IronMind Rolling Thunder when I go to get my mail every day. Right hand on the way to the mailbox, left hand on the way back. It's a solid 200 yards, and I add a little weight to the loading pin every time. Mostly doing it for grip strength and endurance, but I definitely feel it in the traps.

Thanks for showing things in the Metric system, much appreciated

I usually do 8 “laps” carrying two dumbbells and then 4 “laps” each one handed.

Delivery App are KILLING Your Gains!

That groceries pic was crazy 🤪 😳 😜

I like both BUT we know that pressure creates resiliency (knees over toes guy) and that loading one side increases proprioception in small muscles especially in the erector spinae. I did luggage carries (and reverse hyper and dead hangs) when I was fighting through the worst of my back pain and I’m fine dude.

I always do a warm-up set or two of both arms and then go into Single-Arm for 2-3 working sets of a slow 50m walk on each side. Then 1-2 sets with both weights at the end!

Solid video man ! Definitely going to begin adding single farmers carries into my programming more ! 💪🏽

Suitcase walks with bottoms up in the other hand. That’s my favorite. I’m finally onto the 26lb kettlebell for the bottoms up.

What would you say is more beneficial; doing shorter walks with a lot of weight, or a bit less weight and walk longer distances. In our gym we only have a roughly 10m straight line to use, so I just load up like 50-60kg each hand with actual farmer carry bars and I get nicely sore in my hamstrings and lats.

I literally grew up doing the farmer's walk. A bull hit me in 2005 breaking several ribs and my back. Thank goodness I was in extremely good shap because I'd be dead otherwise. I lost 2" in height imediately because it went misdiagnosed but I'm still going.

Love this video! I had the same question. But now, I know what to do with farmer carrys...

I use the suitcase carries for my core stability after watching your videos, but I still do farmer’s walks anyway for my grip!

Praise the LORD for creating strong thumbs.

Thank you for doing well after my lumbar surgery.

I love farmer walks. They are a great way to finish any heavy workout. I think the best way to do this is max doubles followed by max singles. The single maxes will be less than half of the max doubles.

Thoughts on duckwalks with the weight out in front? Or even held behind your back. A friend of mine said his Uncle, ironically a farmer, would always walk his property with his hands clasped behind his back. Best posture you’d ever see and never had back problems.

Yes or use 2 differents load for the carry like 48/54 kg or 40/54kg or 32/64 kg in each hand & alternate arms , more gap more challenge on spine . Only if u want to keep kb in hands for grip at the same time. But yes only one arm egal more stress on spine dependently of the weight used

What about different weight at the same time?

I'm doing them currently and I already noticed that I'm not slouching as much as I used to and my back pain is slowly going away

Great video and explenation

Farmer walks balances the load you carry across the shoulders and back, they target very little. You need more weight than you can grip with your hands to have it be as good as suitcase carries.

One question, if you please: what if the two kettlebells have different weight? Like 20 and 24 kg. Is it a bad habit for the spine/back? Thanks
