Strongman Yoke Walk
Walk a loaded yoke frame a set distance with its crossbar across the upper back, in short quick steps under a squat-heavy load.
How to do it
Setup
Under the yoke, its crossbar across the upper back as for a back squat, hands on the bar, feet under the hips.
Steps
- Brace hard and stand the yoke up off the floor.
- Walk with short, quick steps, the torso upright.
- Stand still, then bend the knees to set it down.
Common mistakes
Long strides: the yoke swings and pulls you off line; keep them short. Loose brace: set it before the lift and keep it the whole walk. Eyes on the feet: fix them on a point ahead.
Breathing
Big breath and brace before the pick, short breaths while walking.
