All you need is twins and double stroller
Suitcase walks (KB or DB) is a good home gym substitute for a farmers.
My issue is my heaviest DB is 50 lbs (I was doing farmers with 250ish). And BBs are too wonky to carry in one hand.
Haha dude I tried running once with a stroller, but our front wheel is bent so it requires so much readjusting it just makes the workout impossible. I was going to get it fixed but now it's way too cold for her. I'm barely running myself these days.
Seal walks with sliders can really kill you. Adding weighted vest will make it painfully enjoyable. I've done that with paper plates on carpet going back and forth in my basement. I don't remember if I pucked
Another thought is getting DB handle for oly plates. Not too expensive and you'll be able to go heavy.

Lovin them man i'm gonna branch out from dumbell carries once I max out the dumbbells at my gym. Im thinking of making some home made farmers implements over the holidays. If you make a home made prowler you will have to throw up the design.

8 December 2016 - Thursday
Went to physio this morning. Right side hip strength is definetly improving. Physio did some tests and I did much better then last time. Hate to say it, but cutting out running seems to have made a big difference the last week or so pain wise. I found squatting was a really big irritant for it, but maybe the running was keeping it inflamed just enough that when I was squatting I really pushed it over the edge. All of this is a knock on wood scenario though. It has went away in the past just to come back worse. Hoping lol.
HIC: 13 Down (53 lb KB)
13 to 1 Kettlebell swings supersetted with burpees
So 13 KB swings, 13 Burpees, 12, 12, 11, 11.. Down to 1, 1
Time: 7:23
I haven't done this one in a long while. I feel like I was in the 9 minute range last time I did it. Its a good quick one for at home.

Been thinking of buying a shrug/hex bar for farmers then came across these, might be a solution

I think Id go with the hex bar or some home made implements. Those things would probably wear through rubbing on the plates. Hex bar would be nice to have kicking around. Guess it all depends though.
