The MOST UNDERRATED Exercise: Farmers Walk Explained (You NEED This!)

Heavy Farmers Walks (also called heavy farmer's carries) are one of the most brutally effective full-body exercises out there — especially when you load them heavy (think 50-100%+ of your bodyweight per hand or more in strongman territory).
They deliver insane real-world strength, functional power, and physique upgrades that few other moves can match. Here's why they're so damn good:

Unmatched Full-Body Strength Builder
Heavy carries recruit almost every major muscle group under serious load while moving. Your legs (quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves) drive the steps, your core braces like crazy to stay upright, your upper back and traps work overtime to hold posture, shoulders stabilize, and grip gets obliterated.
It's basically a walking deadlift + plank + shrug combo that builds real functional strength — the kind that transfers to sports, daily life, and other big lifts.
