Farmer Carry Variations

In our upcoming training phase we will be doing variations of farmer carries and farmer holds. Farmer hold is simply the static version of a farmer carry.

Farmer carries have some fantastic benefits including core strength, improved grip strength, and improved posture. It truly is a full body exercise when loaded appropriately. 

We are going to have YOU choose your own variation. You can check out some options in the video below. 

Your question is, "Which one is harder?"
My answer is, "It depends!"

The heavy farmer carry is fabulous for building grip strength, BUT often times the biggest challenge is holding onto the heavy weight for a full set. Holding light weights for a farmer carry does not challenge the core or grip strength so if there are limitations there then one of the other options might be a better fit.
