Zirv FitnessStrength exercise
Farmer's Walk (Heavy)
How to do it
- Load two matching implements to a challenging heavy weight and set them at your sides before gripping the handles firmly.
- Brace the core hard and drive through the legs to stand the weight up fully, keeping the shoulders pulled back and down.
- Crush the handles with the forearm flexors and hold that grip tension throughout every single step.
- Walk forward with short, deliberate steps, keeping the torso upright and the weights close to your sides.
- Breathe in short controlled bursts and resist any side to side lean as the heavy load pulls at your grip.
- Set the implements down with control at the end of the distance rather than dropping them, releasing the grip only once they are stable.
