How long can you hold two full water jugs before your grip gives out? Keep that number: at the end of this video you'll find out what it says about you. Then we rank five of the oldest strength methods on earth, carrying heavy things, from good to unfair. Each one changes a different part of a skinny guy's body, with no gym and no barbell. And number one isn't the farmer's walk.
What you will learn:
• The grip test, and what grip strength says about your health
• Why farmers are so strong without ever touching a barbell
• #5 The backpack walk: the easiest carry to do every day
• #4 The bear-hug carry: your upper back and your breathing
• #3 The farmer's walk: support grip, traps and conditioning
• #2 The pinch carry: thumbs, forearms and thicker-looking wrists
• #1 The suitcase carry: real core strength with a single jug
• How to do every carry right, the three most common mistakes, a 2 to 3 day plan, and how to read your grip test

This is for skinny guys who want to look solid and feel strong, beginners training at home without equipment, and anyone who wants simple, effective full-body strength.
Research mentioned: Leong et al. 2015 (The Lancet, the PURE study of about 140,000 adults in 17 countries) on grip strength and cardiovascular risk; McGill, McDermott and Fenwick 2009 (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research) on trunk muscle activity in strongman events; Harris et al. 2016 (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research) comparing a strongman session with traditional lifts. The grip-test tiers are our own simple scale, not a medical test.
New science-based fitness video every day: form fixes, no-equipment workouts and real plans for skinny guys, drawn in manga ink. Subscribe so tomorrow's plan finds you.
