The Farmer's Walk: The Best Exercise?!

Training Powerlifting & Strength Sports

Hi everybody, this is my first post on the forums. Glad to be here.

In my experience, the Farmer’s Walk is the exercise that benefits/trains my whole body the most. I would like to hear your views on this exercise.

Does it work your entire body?
Do you think doing it excessively (maybe even doing nothing but the FWs) can lead to severe muscle imbalances?

Thanks.

True story. I’m hoping it’s just that the failing economy is pulling dumb people away from work and onto this website. With any luck it’ll all be over soon (retarded posters, not the recession… ok, well that too).

it is a good exercise but nothing compared to the squat

I like also the crunching.

I do nothing but kettlebell swings while balanced on a bosu ball. If I’m feeling really crazy I might throw in some curls. I make sure I do them in that big rack thingy so I don’t strain myself picking up the heavy bar from the floor.

you shouldn’t only do farmers walks but they are a great grip, traps and leg exercise as well as good for conditioning.

OP what’s up with your username? You throw up onto your keyboard?

But I personally wouldn’t be only doing farmers walks.
