I was thiking push day too. Only thing I was thinking was it might be to much on my shoulders than I watched the video, because I didn't really know how exactly to do them and now I do. I thought for some reason you held them out straight with your shoulders, I don't know why I thought that. Thanks dude, appreciate it.

Farmers walks, ehh? How much weight and how far do you walk and how many times?

Stand up straight, push your shoulders back and your chest out, good posture (no shoulder slouching or bending forward), let the weights hang but keep your shoulders locked in. Keep your core tight, too.

Apart from that, just enjoy the fun

How much do i do personally, or how much should you do in general?

I'd say as much weight as you can do with good form for 3-4 sets of 30-50 meters.

Gaz does them with Volkswagons.

Thanks dude. Yeah, like that guy asked. How much weight do you do? In a general sense like light, moderate, or heavy?

Like most things it depends on what you're going for, and where your ability is.

If you want endurance, go for lighter weights and walk for longer. If you want strength, use heavier weights and do shorter walks. Personally i don't see any reason why you can't do both if you just want to train them for overall development.

Mix it up. Start light and feel them out, then find out where your limits are and go from there.

Bodybuilding is a world of illusion,and if you can't change your biceps shape like Prince said,or can make em looks better by getting ripped you can surely make the best of what you have.I have pretty big arms and my tris have always be a strong point but my biceps were kind of left behind not that long ago!Some tricks that did wonder for me:
1=Some kind of incline because it doesn't allow cheating with the weight
2= pyramid 21s on concentration curls=this one not to be use each week since it'll make a grueling workout=ex:did take 15lbs dbll and get a 21s set,without rest take 25lbs dbll do another set ,still without rest take 35lbs dbll do one more set,after that you get back to 25 lbs and repeat ,and finally a last set with the 15 lbs that will feel if you were curling 100 lbs dbll!One set at end of workout and you're done!
3=Special exercice=In a low pulley rack(same rack as for crossover except you take low pulley),grab both pulley and take a few steps in front of you,arms on each side will be stretch behind you,without moving elbows you do both curls at same time-I call them Front stance cable curls
Another trick i have(took it from Larry Scott)is to contract the tris on bottom or lower parts of biceps movement, it seems to help getting better contractions and burns after at the top of movement.
Hope it will help you
Put your pride aside and feel the weight!
