Farmers walk this action everyone should have seen, many fitness old hands will also practice this action.

But I personally think that the more fitness newbies, in fact, should practice this action more.

Because the foundation of old hands and newbies is not the same, so farmers walk for old hands is just to improve grip.

But for newbies, this action can solve most of your fitness problems.

Help little arms and trapezoid muscles adapt to soreness

New players will encounter various setbacks in the gym, especially little arm soreness and trapezoid muscle soreness, which will greatly affect training effectiveness.

For example, practicing pull-ups, because of little arm soreness, you can't feel the force of the back muscles, and the training effect will also be affected accordingly.

Similarly, when practicing shoulders, trapezoid muscle soreness outweighs the force of the triceps, so your shoulder training will also be affected.

I said earlier that these two muscles don't need to be trained specifically, but if you can adapt to little arms and trapezoid muscles faster.,

Then for your fitness, it is undoubtedly a breakthrough, because many people give up fitness because of soreness.

Farmers walk, this action itself will generate pressure on little arms and trapezoid muscles, thereby allowing little arms and trapezoid muscles to adapt to soreness faster.

So in the early stages, when you are full of fitness enthusiasm, it's worth trying farmers walk.

When the back end, you will be more accustomed to fitness, and it will be easier to persevere in fitness.

Strengthen lower limb support

Lower limb training is actually a bit harder than upper limb training, such as squats and deadlifts, many players have practiced for a long time, but they can't really master it.

Most people analyze from the form of the action, but I think this is caused by weak body awareness of lower limb support.

Since we haven't done weighted lower limb training before, correspondingly, lower limb support will be weak.

This will lead to you can't stabilize your squats and deadlifts, and your legs and hips can't actively generate force.

Farmers walk forces you to bear weight with your lower limbs, at this time, your lower limb muscle tension will increase.

If you practice for a long time, it will form muscle memory, making your lower limbs more capable of active force generation.

Therefore, farmers walk can improve your ability to control squats and deadlifts.

For example, if you have lower back pain when squatting and deadlifting, or you can't stand stably when squatting and deadlifting, farmers walk can solve it.

Strengthen upper limb stability

There are also situations of instability and insufficient support in the upper limb, such as when doing bench presses, the shoulder blades don't support, and when doing pull-ups, you won't sag your shoulders.

This directly points to the stability of your shoulder blades and shoulder joints.

For old hands, this is not a problem, but for newbies, this is a very big problem.

If you want to do a good job of upper limb training, if you want to improve the control ability of upper limb training, shoulder core stability is a must.

Just now, farmers walk has this ability, because in the farmers walk process, your back, shoulders, trapezoid muscles, and part of your chest muscles are all tense.

This improves their coordination, and the better their coordination is, the more stable your shoulder core will be.

So if you can't do bench presses, push-ups, or chest muscles don't generate force, or you can't do pull-ups, or you can't generate force with barbell rows, I suggest you try to practice farmers walk often.

Today's talk is a bit general, in fact, it is fitness newbies to practice farmers walk, which has good effects on improving stability and controllability.
