Thanks, but honestly, that weight is pretty lame where Strongman is concerned.
B-Fold has taken over 300lbs/hand for 100ft.
Kingc has taken 235 for 50-60ft with a turn, and 285's for 4-5ft!!
I believe T3C has taken 215's for 25 or 50ft, I can't remember which.

These guys blow me out of the water.

That's why I said I am working on fixing it.:)

ive done farmer walks like one time a year ago.
i did the 100s for fun, walked across the yard a few times,other than that ive never done em ,i dont even have enough weight to put on my db;s to make over 100 lbs so i guess it wont be happening anytime soon. although it sounds fun.
anybody know any ways to make a farmers walk thing without using db;s?

Dbells are harder. Where I work they have a record for dbell farmers. They walk 25 yards, turn, repeat, etc... They use the 100's and the best is 299 yards. They were allowed to bend down and rest them on their knees...but one basketball player went 245 without resting at all.

My best is 346's for 100' straight and 375's for 49'6"...both in training though. We will see on contest day.

I did 100 #'s each using Nate's new implements...they look very similar to Jokers. He posted up our numbers and distances on another thread--I didn't retain all the info!
 
My gym only has DBs up to 135lbs each. No idea how far I can walk with em, I usually do static holds instead of walks due to the dimensions of the gym.

Damn I need to move to Kentucky next summer and get crazy with Clint and the posse...lol (provided I'm not in H-town for the summer).
 
did farmers instead of static hold today. The farmers seemed to hit the grip a lot more. Im sure its cuz my grip has to counterbalance the moving and swinging action as i walk. Why are dumbells harder then the other equipment?
 
I have done 235lbs for a distance of 75 feet. . .I live out in the country.
 
dumbell farmers are very hard, i did 256 on farmner implements for 72 feet with one turn this week.

did 120 dumbells for 2 runs of 180 feet, the dumbells are MUCH harder, they roll out of yourhands where farmer implements do not:)

I learned last week that TURNING is NOT EASY!!


...yet!:)
 
Farmer walk implements: 115lbs for 140ft. (one turn)

With dbs? I've routinely carried 90 and 100lbs in the gym. You know, having to put 'em away for the so-called "big, strong" male trainees who leave 'em lying around on the gym floor. I'd say I've carried 'em for 20-30 ft.
 
I usually do a fast walk/run for 2 laps around the inside of our gym with 100lb dumbells(heaviest we have),and no chalk.It is 300'+ total.I go for speed when doing these,so once I start to slow down to a normal walk,I sit them down,or hold them.I think starting out using db's alot for farmers walk and deadlift holds helped my grip alot,but didnt carry over for me very well when using heavier weights on farmers implements.

I'm surprised by that one...was there a difference in the size of the grip? Implements being bigger?

There is just a huge difference between holding 130 pound dbells and 250+ farmers. This is also why training with thick handled farmers have little to no carry-over to actual farmers implements.

My grip has always felt solid on the implements from the first time I used them,which I think is partly because I used dumbells,and like the others said,the db's will try to roll out o your hands.I think they helped with the mental aspect of the deadlift hold too.
Like B fold said,heavy farmers implements feel ALOT heavier than using a lighter dumbell.My ability to support the weight with my upper back area,fails before my grip does
 
My best is 65 feet with 280 on farmers implements, no turns. With a turn... my best is 255 for about 70 feet.
