If there was some way to have a 24/7 pump :wow:. You just have to work out once and you get your pump for the day :blessed: the world would be a better place.

cardio today was suitcase carries (just a one armed farmers carry) with a hex bar :wow: that was some serious panting and sweatin right there. One thing I noticed is the glutes get stimulated way more than with normal farmer's carries. And the trunk stabilization work is off the goddamn charts.

Is this what you did? :ohhh: so you carried the weight with one hand a certain distance then switch sides? How heavy of a weight do you use?

yeah just with a hex bar (grabbed one of the edges that connect the two sides).

I used 145lbs. I walk from one point to the next and back. Then switch arms and do the same.

And speakin of carries, this might be the best ab exercise that nobody does

Need to get on the farmer's walk wave. My new gym has a walkway for it. Just bought some chia seeds for the first time...

I don't do one arm carries just because I don't want to do something funny with my spine. I'll carry the same weight kettlebell or dumbbell in each hand at the same time to work the traps and forearms.

Yeah if you have back issues you should definitely avoid unilateral carries. Any type of carry is beneficial
