Trap Bar Farmer’s Walk

The Trap Bar Farmer's Walk is a compound exercise that primarily targets the muscles of the upper body, particularly the shoulders, arms, and grip strength, while also engaging the core and lower body muscles. Bend at the hips and knees to grasp the handles of the trap bar with a hammer grip (palms facing each other). Keep your grip firm and secure on the handles. Engage your core muscles by drawing your navel in towards your spine. Keep your chest up and your shoulders back to maintain proper posture throughout the movement. With the trap bar securely in your hands and your core engaged, exhale as you lift the weight off the ground by straightening your hips and knees. Keep your back straight and avoid rounding or arching your spine. Once the weight is lifted off the ground, stand tall with your shoulders pulled back and your chest up. Begin walking forward in a controlled manner, taking small, deliberate steps. Keep your arms extended and your shoulders stabilized as you walk. Focus on maintaining proper posture and balance throughout the movement. Take care not to sway from side to side or allow the weight to pull you off balance. Depending on your goals and fitness level, you can perform the Farmer's Walk for a specific distance (e.g., 20 meters) or for a set amount of time (e.g., 30 seconds). Aim to walk with a brisk but controlled pace, focusing on maintaining proper form and tension in your muscles. Once you reach the designated distance or time, carefully turn around and walk back to the starting point. Take small, deliberate steps and maintain proper posture and balance as you return. Once you have completed the desired number of repetitions or distance, carefully lower the trap bar back to the ground by bending at the hips and knees.

Then return back down to the starting position and repeat for as many reps and sets as possible.

Push-up to Renegade Row

Combining a push-up with a renegade row adds an extra challenge by incorporating both upper body pushing and pulling movements along with core stabilization. Begin in a high plank position with your hands gripping a pair of dumbbells that are shoulder-width apart. Your wrists should be directly under your shoulders, and your body should form a straight line from head to heels. Your feet should be slightly wider than hip-width apart for stability. Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides. Lower until your chest nearly touches the ground, maintaining a straight line from head to heels. Keep your core engaged throughout the push-up to maintain stability. Push yourself back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms. Ensure that your body remains in a straight line from head to heels throughout the entire movement. Once you're back in the high plank position, shift your weight to one side and row one dumbbell up towards your rib cage while stabilizing your core and hips to prevent rotation. Keep your elbow close to your body as you row the dumbbell upward, squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine. Lower the dumbbell back to the floor in a controlled manner. Repeat the row on the other side, alternating sides with each repetition. Continue alternating between push-ups and renegade rows for your desired number of repetitions or time.
