Considering those (vague) goals, and depending on exactly what else you want/need to address in the offseason, you might want to consider Eric Cressey’s offseason program. The template has one day with, dun-dun-dunnnnn, farmer’s walks as a finisher:
Goals:
Other farmer’s walk articles:
Being stuck with limited weights and limited walking space will definitely end up being an issue at some point. Like Other-Chris said, a trap bar would be an option. I also use two triceps bars (a.k.a. multi-purpose bar) for doing farmer’s walks at home. Or like Remu said, just make the most out of each weight before progressing.
Increasing the gap between these would be a good goal for the offseason.

What “day” does everyone do them on? I’ve heard doing them on leg day for extra volume, back/shoulder day for traps, and even arm day for forearms[/quote]
Ha, that’s the thing. Because they work everything one way or another, they’re versatile enough that you can add them pretty much anytime to either finish off whatever else you hit that day and give some work to whatever didn’t get attention. Generally though, I prefer to use them as the first exercise on a conditioning day, so that the cardio aspect is more of a focus than the muscular factor.
