Description

The farmer's carry is a functional full-body exercise in which weights are carried over a certain distance.
The exercise originated in athletics and strongman training and is particularly effective for improving grip strength, core stability, and overall body strength.

During the movement, the forearms, abdominal muscles, and back are worked intensively. In addition, the legs, shoulders, and glutes work to provide stability.
The farmer's carry is ideal for improving posture, strengthening core stability, and building strength that directly transfers to many other exercises and everyday movements.

Tip

Make sure that your upper body remains upright throughout the entire movement and that your shoulders are pulled back slightly. Actively tense your abdominal and gluteal muscles to prevent sideways tilting or arching your back. The weights should hang calmly next to your body without swinging. Walk in a controlled manner and with even steps.
