The Farmer’s Walk Cure
“Here’s what you need to know…”
- “If weakness is the disease, the farmer’s walk will cure it. It will build muscle, slash fat, and crank up performance.
- Everyone wants the newest, coolest exercise, but that tends to take them away from hard work, temporary pain, sweat, and calluses. What they really need to do is get back to basics.
- The key to success in farmer’s walk isn’t in the walking, but how you walk with the weight. Think tall spine”.
“The farmer’s walk builds muscle ridiculously fast, slashes body fat, increases strength and performance in the big lifts, and has very little risk of injury.
A heavy farmer’s walk will quickly fry your back, shoulders, and grip while making your lungs feel like you’ve guzzled a gallon of napalm.
The farmer’s walk is the simplest exercise you can do. Just pick up some heavy weights, walk as far as you can and repeat.
I’d argue that a biggest reason they’re not used more often is because they’re too simple. Everyone wants the newest, hottest exercise, but that often means an easier movement. What they really need to do is get back to basics and man up.”
