incorporating farmer walks

[tarun]

I've been adding in farmer walks at the end of my workouts the last 3 or 4 times.... but I realized I can't do them on back-to-back training days, my forearms are fried! Haha...is once a week alright? I'm doing them to build up my forearms as well as grip strength (which will help with bench and deadlift). I'm walking a decent distance and I'm doing it for 5 sets (1 set is covering the distance back and forth once). The distance is probably 1/3 the length of an olympic size pool.

Once a week is fine, you will still get a forearm workout from almost every exercise you do and the farmers walks have worked fine for me doing them once per week.

Do them on the days you train back or legs.
