Thank you Buffdudes for never changing your style and always keeping the concept of making your audience better with excellent guides. Specifically, you guys have helped even an illiterate gym beginner like myself to learn the basics of proper form which even fitness instructors at high end gyms fail to teach.
I did this routinely during my training in the Air Force with rifle in one hand and ammo box in the other and with weights in the rucksack.😊 I have started these again, 20 years after retirement 😊 #gorucking and #farmerwalking .😊
I love your new style tutorials. I also love your old tutorials and still watch them to correct my form time to time ❤ Also your face looks like Terminator when you’re doing Farmer Walks 😂😂
Thanks. I just did these this morning and they wiped me out. Morning workout was 5 sets of. 1.Push ups. 2.Farmer Walk 3. KB swings. 4.Weighted crunches 5. Pull ups.
Farmer walks are the most simple and beautiful exercise but in the same time the most easily exhausting exercise. 40 meters walk and your forearms are done
I lift with body group days: Legs: Extensions, curls, deadlifts Back: Various pulling, biceps, forearms Chest: Pecs, shoulder, tricep exercises So if I wanted to add the Farmer's Walk, what day is best? It looks like a leg exercise, but I tried it yesterday and I feel it in my mid-upper back so should I add it to back day?
When i was a teen, my friend asked me to go with him to pick up two sets of dumbbells. I agreed as he was like a brother. Dude had me walk a mile with him to pick them up and we had to farmers walk them a mile back. I think about this at 42 wondering wtf magic our bodies had as teenagers
hello I am a construction worker, at 50 I am no longer able to do the big bodybuilding programs with work I am too tired so to simplify everything I was wondering if I do farmer walk, push up, pull up if that is enough to hit every muscle in my body, or I'll be missing something. Thank you for the feedback.
I'm a 58 yo Brit..all I really do are pushups , pull ups , a few dumbbell exercises , some dynamic tension martial art exercises and walking with dumbbells ' farmers walk ' all at home and I can tell you I have never been fitter or more muscular. The squat advice is also good with or without dumbbells but the f walk will do your calves , hams , quads and glutes anyway. All the best 👍
Thanks for the video, but can you help me out? I'm in my 60s, have worked out with weights from an early age. I now find my joints are not what they used to be. I need a plan for the whole body over 3 days, no longer than 45 minutes. Is this possible?
Also important is to *NEVER rotate your backbone when turning around while carrying weight.* Turn around with a stiff back, using only your legs to do the turning around.
Its even better if your weights are hanging from something. I put 10 bottles with water in each bag and do farmer walks while the weight is hanging, traps start to burn super quickly
While I see farmers walks/carries are of great benefit, I have a great question. Why do almost all of the farmers walk videos only use dumbells? Why don’t any of these Workout video creators do a farmers walk video with something that takes extra effort to grip, i.e. concrete blocks?
Yes as long as they are heavy enough to challenge you, and you can maintaining healthy posture such as in this video. You can do to failure or near failure, but as long as you can walk further or longer over a few weeks/months you will see progress
If you're using heavy enough weight, usually your grip / forearms will limit how far you can go. When it's burning and you're about to cry, set the weight down and rest. Then go again. I do 4 sets (just as an example).
@@Buzza82 I do them on my Tuesday workout, so I'll get back to you. I have certain landmarks on the street, like manhole covers or storm gutters, which are my goals to reach to take a rest. Next workout I'll time the carries and let you know. Now you've got me curious too.
@@Buzza82 Hey, to follow up with you, I timed the carries this morning. It was raining, so I couldn't do my regular outdoor route, but instead walked the hallways of the building. Also, I was using a kitchen timer that I kept bumping a resetting the time in my pocket. That said, I got one accurate reading of the 4 carries - it was exactly 90 sec. I use two 24kg kettlebells. So, hope that is useful to give some idea of what at least one other person is doing.

This is also the easiest way to sneak dumbbells out of your local gym
LMAOO
Lol, I'm calling the cops!
😅😅😅
So that was you that stole the 2.5s!
Yo 😂😂😂

You get an extra workout from dodging people that walk around the gym staring at their phones.
Underrated comment
True af !!!!
If I could only do 1 exercise forever, farmers walks would be a top contender

Great tutorial and you absolutely nailed the "How It's Made" narration! I mean, even the cadence and inflections! Great stuff.
I love your new style tutorials. I also love your old tutorials and still watch them to correct my form time to time ❤ Also your face looks like Terminator when you’re doing Farmer Walks 😂😂
tip, workout out far away from the rack when performing any dumbbell exercise.
Duuuude. Yes.
Why is that?
@@mickmister extra workout for having to carry the weights really far from the rack, as iirc they do in this video.
Short and simple explanation. Thanks guys!!
Thanks. I just did these this morning and they wiped me out. Morning workout was 5 sets of. 1.Push ups. 2.Farmer Walk 3. KB swings. 4.Weighted crunches 5. Pull ups.
Probably better do them last in ur workout. I'd imagine having trouble doing swings and pull-ups after shoulder girdle and forearms being toast...
Farmer walks are the most simple and beautiful exercise but in the same time the most easily exhausting exercise. 40 meters walk and your forearms are done
My left arm especially..almost ashamed of the endurance difference between my dominant arm and non dominant
+10 Strength if wearing overalls.
I do these w/ my kettlebells.
For extra difficulty, I fold a kitchen towel over the handles to make them thicker so it works my forearms more.
brilliant video. Quick,clear and direct
I lift with body group days:
Legs: Extensions, curls, deadlifts
Back: Various pulling, biceps, forearms
Chest: Pecs, shoulder, tricep exercises
So if I wanted to add the Farmer's Walk, what day is best? It looks like a leg exercise, but I tried it yesterday and I feel it in my mid-upper back so should I add it to back day?
I would put it on the same day as any pulling movements
@@tomfisher7751 Thanks, that's largely my back day.
I've doing then almost every day in a 6 day PPL split. Badass exercise!
Always choose the proper farmer walk handles over dumbbells and or a open end trap bar for way better results if you have the option
When i was a teen, my friend asked me to go with him to pick up two sets of dumbbells. I agreed as he was like a brother. Dude had me walk a mile with him to pick them up and we had to farmers walk them a mile back. I think about this at 42 wondering wtf magic our bodies had as teenagers
Seriously underrated exercise.
Is there any benefit using a trap bar?
You get to deadlift into position lol
You can go heavier than with dumbbells
The Buff Dudes Brothers are in great shape this Summer💪🏼😎👍🏼
They discovered the "Mexican supplements".

Don't forget a couple leg exercises such as squats. As you get older, they are highly important.

Old School Farmer Gang
Good job 👍
I used to dig out basements carrying 5 gallon buckets of dirt up stairs and throw in a dump truck then carry gravel back down that was a work out 🇺🇸🤙
My left forearm is bigger than the other so now I do farmers walk with a dumbbell in my right arm. 😊
Damn! They build in some speed at the end!😂😂😜😜😁😁
Best exercise, if could only do 1 exercise together with deadlift
Also important is to *NEVER rotate your backbone when turning around while carrying weight.*
Turn around with a stiff back, using only your legs to do the turning around.

i am not a buff dude but thanks for this!
You can see Brandon actually IMAGINING to be a bad ass old time worker, while performing the exercise
What about using one dumbbell at a time, would that activate the core better? Just curious.
Yes, it's called suitcase carry
While I see farmers walks/carries are of great benefit, I have a great question. Why do almost all of the farmers walk videos only use dumbells? Why don’t any of these Workout video creators do a farmers walk video with something that takes extra effort to grip, i.e. concrete blocks?
Can it be done with kettlebells as well? And how long does it has to be done? Until failure? 🤔
Yes as long as they are heavy enough to challenge you, and you can maintaining healthy posture such as in this video. You can do to failure or near failure, but as long as you can walk further or longer over a few weeks/months you will see progress
What are your views on CrossFit ?
I like farmer's walks but I never really know how I should mix them into my workouts...
At the very end as a finisher
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻
How far/steps do you take? Reps?
If you're using heavy enough weight, usually your grip / forearms will limit how far you can go. When it's burning and you're about to cry, set the weight down and rest. Then go again. I do 4 sets (just as an example).
@@madhusudan And what would be an appropriate time to have a reasonable training effect before the forearms give up?
30sec 60sec 120sec?

@@madhusudan Oh wow thanks man for your efforts. You've definitely helped me and I'm sure many others who have found their way into the comments :D
This was a good video. Thanks for the tips. It would've been even better though if the beautiful Mikala were featured in it!
75 + 75 + 15 lb weight vest. Walk outside.The best.
I’m using 52.5 and walk around the gym once wait two minutes do it again then carry each one back to the rack, wasted!
Be courteous. If you have to rest, take the dumbells to the ground. Don't let them free fall in some Worlds Strongest Man drama act.

How can you grab a pair of dumbells in each hand! 😂
Ok dont know about the dont relax the shoulders :0
At what point in the farmers walk do we inject steroids?
isn't the carried weight supposed to be at least twice times your bodyweight?
If you want to injure yourself, and gass out after 10 meters..sure go ahead. My gyms dumbells doesn't even get near double my weight anyway
@@V77710 I do it with a trap-bar. Works fine. But is to exhausting amount of muscle gains you actually get for it.
Rasanya tak ramai mampu buat benda2 lain lagi. Berdasarkan data2 orang lain.
💪🦾
I do the farmer's walk with the farmer's daughter.
