    Farmer Walks. Old school farmers have been known for their incredible strength. Mainly due to their need for carrying equipment, hay, and sacks of grain. That’s why this exercise is aptly named. A full body exercise that will help develop your trapezius, core, forearms, legs, and endurance.
    How to:
    Grasp a pair of heavy dumbbells in each hand and keep them at your sides.
    In a standing position, slightly shrug your shoulders to contract your traps; stabilizing the weight.
    While maintaining a straight and rigid torso, start walking in a slow and controlled manner
    Make sure to hold the dumbbells with a firm grasp to activate your forearms.
    Do not:
    DO NOT use a weight that is too light. This will defeat the purpose of the exercise, as you’ll find yourself easily carrying the weight.
    DO NOT let your body sway back and forth as you walk. Make sure you maintain a straight and rigid torso. Controlling your breathing can help.
    DO NOT let your shoulder relax as this will put unnecessary stress onto your neck.
    The farmer walks are an excellent strength building exercise that works in an isometric hold for your upper body, helping to learn to brace in your core, and stabilization in your lower body. Slowly work into a longer walk each time to continue placing more stress onto the muscles.

    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 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?

    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 👍

    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?

      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).

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.
