How do you do your sets/reps for farmer walks?

I just go until I cant go anymore. I don’t really have a good way of doing them.

I just walk a certain distance for, then turn around. Each time I get to a point it counts as a rep. I think I had recorded something like 30-ish seconds for six trips, and a light weight, so four trips probably lasted a similar amount of time (maybe more, I was going very slow from the weight).

Also, I just go until my grip is starting to give out, or I have hit my goal for the day.

I don’t know how you squat wide stance. I did a workout wide stance ONE time, and my hips were beat up for like 3 weeks.

I think I have mobility issues though. Who knows.

Great work with the squats. What do you think you’re 1RM is at these days?

I weighed in at 172 today, and I haven’t changed my eating at all since I weighed 165-167 other than I raised my carbs by 25 grams since I wasn’t gaining any weight, and I had been feeling extremely energy deprived half way through my workouts.

To be honest, I am never 100% sure where my lifts are. I would say in the 345 area minus, or plus five pounds depending on sleep, stress, if I fuck up my walkout again, if I follow through with using reverse band squats the previous week, (which I will to allow my body to think this is a light weight) ect.

Also, I am able to squat like this because I don’t do it often (I limit myself to squatting wide once a week), and I had built up the flexibility, and strength in the areas needed.
I had started squatting wide with 60-75% of my high bar squat max (and trust me, this sucked at first because I had none of the strength in the muscles needed).

172?! You’re getting pretty swole. Grown any taller the last year or so?

Barely. I think I went from 5’7.5 to 5’8. I’m probably doomed to top off at 5’9.

Or maybe, just maybe I grew taller with this weight gain. :wink:

That’s it for today. I swapped out the sumo SLDLs for hip thrusts because I was in really rough shape after the sumo deadlifts, and I could not get the form down out all for the SLDL’s.

Oh, okay. I’ll try to get it up on youtube, or something. Also, you were true eventually it does start taking a lot of effort to keep my shoulders back in place, it just takes a lot more than my grip will be able to handle for a long while.
