Strongman Barbell Farmer's Walk
The farmer's walk with a loaded barbell in each hand, gripped at the middle, which makes balancing the bars part of the carry.
How to do it
Setup
Standing between two loaded barbells, each gripped at its center, arms long, shoulders down.
Steps
- Stand up with both bars, the back flat.
- Walk with short, quick steps, the bars level.
- Set them down together with a flat back at the end.
Common mistakes
Gripping off-center: the bar tips; find the middle before you lift. Bars swinging with the stride: shorten the steps. Leaning back at the start: stand straight up and brace.
Breathing
Steady throughout the walk.
