How the HYROX Farmers Carry Station Works
You pick up two kettlebells or dumbbells and walk 200 meters as fast as possible without dropping or switching hands.
Maintain upright posture
Keep shoulders back and core tight
Grip should be strong but relaxed to avoid early fatigue
Common Challenges in the HYROX Farmers Carry
Grip fatigue is the most common limiting factor. Walking fast with heavy weights is demanding on forearms and traps.
Losing posture or shaking can waste energy and slow you down, especially late in the race.
