Farmer's walk. It's an excellent exercise.
Been a bit of a gym rat for like 30 years...
I do not believe you one bit.
e; This thread is depressing. Too many people have no clue what they're talking about and think an extremely beneficial exercise is about muh showing off or whatever.
I know farmer carries. I used to see people pinch grip plates and walk. Just don't quite get it. Conditioning maybe , just seems like poor body mechanics , when using very heavy weight relative to size of individual
It's a functional strength exercise versus targeted. How often do you walk around carrying something of more than meaningless weight? Probably frequently compared to how often you bench press something, or squat something, or single arm curl something.
Exactly, if you have done enough heavy farmer carries you gain actual functional strength.
That means the next time you buy $200 worth of groceries you can carry it all into the house in one trip.
