The farmer’s carry is within the 6th round of the Hyrox competition. Participants must carry two kettlebells for 200m.
The weight of the kettlebells will vary depending on the category. Participants must carry one in each hand while walking. The exercise engages forearms, grip strength, and upper body muscles.
To prepare for the farmer’s carry, participants should focus on building their grip strength through exercises such as deadlifts, pull-ups, and chin-ups. They should also incorporate forearm-specific exercises such as wrist curls and reverse wrist curls to improve their grip strength.
