The session
Grip hard, brace tall with shoulders packed, and walk fast with short quick steps. Break the distance into unbroken segments if needed, minimizing set-downs.
In the race
The race farmers carry is 200 m, the sixth station.
Pacing
Find a rhythm you could keep for the full race distance, then hold it. Steady beats fast-then-stopped.
Where people go wrong
Leaning forward or sideways, letting the shoulders roll in, a slow stroll pace, and gripping too loosely.
Easier or harder
- Easier: lighter handles, and put them down every 50 m.
- Harder: race weight with no drops.
Staying safe
Set the bells down with a flat back, not a rounded spine. Choose a load your grip can hold for meaningful unbroken distance.
