Visit your local microbrewery for kegs. They own the ones that the restaurants use. The one I worked at had a ton of worn out kegs. I would imagine most microbreweries are the same. The ones you get from them will most likely be clean.

Dude, I don't comment much but I feel compelled to say this...YOU'RE TRAPS ARE SICK! I've been using dumbbells try and mimic farmer's carry but it's just not the same: I feel like i have to get too low to pick them up and my back rounds, and like what you said, they also roll out. Been thinking about getting the Spud traveler's farmers carry straps. I know they're not as good as the actual bars, but it's all I can manage; I go to a commercial gym but it has no trap bar (not a very good gym). What are your opinions on the straps?
@BrianAlsruheOfficial
8 жыл бұрын
Thanks boss! I think the straps are a really good option if you can't get your hands on traditional handles. If you stick with Dumbbells, try picking them up off of a bench or blocks so the deadlift isn't as compromised, but if you are looking to do more weight, those straps may be a good solve for now. You can also just make some of your own for much cheaper with basic stuff you can buy at any hardware store. But if you are going to pay for the straps, you may just want to buy some real handles and see if you can leave them at your gym. Most places will let you do things like that. I hope that helps man!
@gardenjose

Yeah that's why I was a little hesitant on buying them. They're almost as much as the regular bars! lol. I did look into making my own straps if anything; will continue looking. Thanks for your input!

Wassup man? I can't take the bars to the gym BUT I made my own straps except I used chain, pipe for the handle, and a heavy duty quick link.

I do some sort of weighted carry at least 2-3 times a week. Yoke I do on a day all it's own. if I'm doing Farmers, Stones, Sandbags or kegs i will usually throw them in on my deadlift or squat days. And as far as weights are concerned, just check out this video on Alan Thrall's channel, kzitem.info/news/bejne/rJ6LvWGdp39_koY Stick to it and you should be well on your way!

Honestly man, the weighted carries and loading movements. I'd get a sandbag and load it heavy then work carries and loads to a platform or over a bar. Once that gets easy, try to get your hands on some atlas stone molds and start using them. i think hands down, Atlas stone loads/shouldering/carries will do more to build up your functional strength more than anything else

Also, in the same video, you pair the strongman movements of dead lift and press with the strength workouts for dead lift and press. Would that be just more dead lifting and pressing for the strongman portion? Thanks for your time and effort.

Great video! I also made my own farmer's walk implement relatively cheaply. You can either just use the same pipe you used to make your axle and add a handle to it or buy a 4x4, cut it in half and use plumbing pipes (I believe I used 2" diameter black iron pipe) and fitting to create the weight holders and handles. I believe all told, it only cost me $60-70 and it looks pretty sweet stained and polyurethaned as well. imgur.com/a/59mU5 - Unfinished Farmer's Handles imgur.com/a/F9OUt - After finishing
