Says here that the farmer’s carry is a full-body workout. Can I just do farmer’s carries every day?

@dinneratsix Just do farmer's carries every week when you shop for groceries.

@dinneratsix Can you keep good form so you don't end up straining your back just doing farmers carries for however many hours

@dinneratsix there is no one exercise for all of time. Work a program. The exercises you dont like are the ones you likely need to be doing more of.

@dinneratsix My concern is adaptation, even when increasing farmers load progressively. Your body will get fucking amazing at carrying load in the farmers position. You’ll be a hell of a grunt. This does not necessarily equate to aesthetics. If you LOVE carrying heavy shit, then I 100% support going beast mode on this. If you want to ensure a certain physical appearance? Add at least two days of upper/ lower hypertrophy (gym lifts). The rest is nutrition. I like the approach of 80% what you love/ 20% what you need.

Also, if you enjoy farmers carry, you’ll probably enjoy suitcase carry, med ball throws, over shoulders. overhead carry and sled push/ pull. But now you’re just mimicking strongman sport. So, you like strongman.

@dinneratsix The hip hinging movement (deadlifts, kettlebell swings, etc) is arguably the most important movement there is. So no, you should not only do farmers carries. But yes, they are still very functional and a good addition to any workout.

@dinneratsix You're going to get bored of them after about 4 days.

 

[dinneratsix]

@afirstbornson I thought I’d get bored of walking 20k steps a day, but I haven’t! I’m addicted to amblin’, I’m a degenerate ambler

 

[afirstbornson]

@dinneratsix Hmm. Instead of farmers walks, maybe you would like to start wearing a weighted vest on your walks if you don't want to do any other exercises.

@dinneratsix Prime movers are forearms. Still missing squat, hinge, bench, row, OHP, and pullups.

This can't be a serious query.
