How do the farmer's walk go around the neighborhood? Do you break the sidewalks? Only reason I haven't gotten my own handles is a fear of doing damage to the sidewalks/alleys.

As long as you don't just drop them, I don't see any issues...
When we're going heavy and we're going to be dropping them, we do farmer's carry in the grass, though.
Less damage than the sled, either way.


Today:

Speedy squats, box, foam, buffalo bar, light bands:
some@bar

Thanks! Will definitely be getting myself some farmer handles one of these days.

They're awesome. It's even way different from doing it with just DBs. Whole new levers and stability stuff! Also, try doing rows with them sometime.

3@135 (x10)

OHP:

Tuesday starts meet prep for the October 11 USPA meet in Springfield. We'll see what happens, mostly just want to get a total in sometime this year so I'll have a QT for meets next year.

I love the handles at the gym I go to. I just haven't had the extra money to get my own. Then I also need to fit them in to training somehow also. They are rather draining. They're definitely an "off season" exercise for that reason.

Exciting about the upcoming meet!

Do you personally find box squats harder than free squatting?

I remember as a newb box squats were easier, now they're significantly harder.

Oh definitely. I'd say there's probably at least 30-50 pounds difference between my free squat and box squat, especially since I moved my stance in.
