Program Check/ Farmer's Carry Programming

[360365LAWS]

Was originally just going to ask about the farmer's Carry. How you program it, how long it takes to recover from it, etc. I decided to throw up my whole plan so it can be judged and commented on.

I'm planning this:

Lower-Body Strength A ( Sometimes this day is for heavy deadlifting and even dl prs and then farmers carry and done instead)
2-Arm Farmers-Carry: One set with no straps, One set with Straps
Low-Bar Good-Mornings: 3 x 5
Grip-Work
Later: Bodybuilding Style V-Crunches holding weight and KB Swings/Jump-Rope for cardio

Upper-Body Strength A
Bench-Press with Chains added: 3 x 5
Weighted Pull-Ups: 3 x 5

Lower-Body Volume A
GZCL
Tier 1 - High-Bar Squats
Tier 2 - Snatch-Grip Dls
Tier 3 - Belt-Squats, Stiff-Leg Dls, BB Hip-Thrusts, Standing Calf-Raises

Upper-Body Volume A
GZCL
Tier 1 - Floor-Press
Tier 2 - Weighted Pull-Ups, Dumbbell Flat-Bench
Tier 3 - Single-Arm Landmine-Rows, Weighted Push-Ups, Dumbbell-Curls, Incline J.M Press, Landmine-Twists, Rear-Delt Flies

Note. I personally don't need to deadlift a lot to see gains on deadlift.

Never found a need or use for “farmers” carries. YMMV

Haven't programmed but if I did I'd do it as T3 or gpp on off days and probably just do distance or time for a few laps. Don't think you need to worry much, just make it moderately hard and push for more when it's there.


Love the overall plan, better put together than nearly anything we usually see here.

That's your loss. Try this easy one: https://www.t-nation.com/training/ti...rength-builder

360365LAWS,

I lift 5-6 days a week and end every workout with Farmers' Walks and some form of hypers.

Never had a problem holding onto things that weigh hundreds of pounds without those convenient little handles, but then again I actually use my body to move things for a living. YMMV.

Well, if you don't want to try it, like I said; it's your loss. I've seen females carry their own body weight in each hand.

I’m not losing out on anything though. Lol

Kitchen can be a very strange place, indeed.

Can't peak your interest, eh?

I've never seen a guy do his body weight in each hand. Taken close to failure, Farmers' Walks engender a level of discomfort that many people aren't mentally strong enough to handle, especially on a workout to workout continuing basis.

Holy fukkin chit lmao

Not even sort of

I try not to view performing any particular exercise as a sign of one’s mental fortitude or manhood. Sounds to much like Mark “fat****” Rippetoe’s “you have to squat or you’re a pussy” dogma to me.

It's not dogma; it's just a fact. If you take it close to failure, the second time around, you know what's coming. It's brutal and it fries you!
