Hello Tekton!
We are so excited to announce our gym monthly challenge - every single member can participate 👏
🔥 September is The 8k Farmer Carry Challenge
Your mission is simple:
Accumulate 8,000m of Farmer Carries over the month of September.
That breaks down to 270m per day — 2,000m per week. Grab a pair of kettlebells or dumbbells (any load) - LETS GO!!!
📊 By the Numbers
Goal: 8,000m Farmer Carry
Daily Pace: 270m
Equipment: Kettlebells or Dumbbells (any load)
The farmer carry is loaded walking, and it trains almost everything at once. Grip and forearms work the entire time. The shoulders and upper back hold position under load. The midline braces against every step and the legs and heart do the walking. Farmer Carries are one of the safest ways to load work — which carries over into everything we do in CrossFit.
💥 The Benefits:
💪Grip That Transfers
Forearm and grip endurance shows up in deadlifts, pull ups, rows and every bar you hold onto in a workout.
💪Postural Strength
Carries train the traps, shoulders, and upper back to hold position under load, which helps undo a day of sitting.
💪A Braced, Walking Core
Every step is anti-lean and anti-rotation work for your midline.
💪Low Skill, High Payoff
Anyone can do it and modifying is simple - choose an appropriate weight.
💪Self-Limiting and Safe
When your grip is done, the set is over. That keeps the loading appropriate.
✅ How to Do It
✔️Stay ahead of the pace: 270m per day keeps you on track.
✔️Chunk it - 100m to 200m at a time is plenty.
✔️Stand tall - shoulders back and down, chest up, eyes forward, no shuffling, and no leaning.
✔️Pick a load that challenges you - Heavy enough and light enough that your posture never breaks.
✔️Vary it - any type of farmer carry counts
Miss a day? No problem—just make up your meters over the next few days.
