farmer carry
Hauling heavy loads
A farmer carry is a strength exercise in which you hold a heavy weight in each hand and walk a set distance or duration.
Named for the practical motion of carrying loaded buckets or tools, it builds grip strength, core stability, and overall conditioning: I added farmer carries to my workout routine.
Also called a farmer's walk.
