question about farmer's walk

[Scrumtulescence]

I'm currently trying to bulk up, and I have naturally skinny wrists. My forearms are a little bit bigger than they used to be, but not much. I've heard farmer's walks can really build up your forearms, so I'm thinking of giving that a try. How often should you do them, though? And when? Also, how much weight should you do it with? Like say I do about 35lbs for bicep curls (8-10 second reps), what's a good weight for farmer's walk?

btw I'm 6'5 and 112lbs lolz

Did I say 6'5? I meant 7'5.



I was joking. I'm like 5'8-5'9 and almost 160.

Thanks for the link though.

My forearms respond best to heavy deadlifts, powercleans and heavy shrugs (i do farmer's walk with the shrug dumbbells. It's a fact that forearms grow in response to heavy weight in a static position.

Farmer's walk are an awesome exercise for the forearms. It's hard to tell where to start. And biceps curls won't tell jack about how much you can do a farmer's walk with. Try it out and feel where you land. IMO the best range to use is around 40 meters.
