Notes
Solid workout.  Farmers walks were a little more strenuous than I thought.  My forearms/grip were definitely the limiting factor.  That isn't to say my grip has gotten weak, but by the 5th or 6th run, I was definitely feeling it.

Next time I'll go for a little lower weight for longer distances.  I really think farmer's walks are best done for long distances.  Once you get good, then you go heavy AND long.  Long distance equals a crazy amount of tension/load on your body for a long time.  That is why they are awesome.  I don't see much good in going short with a  super heavy load unless you are a strongman.

Edit: btw, I officially fucking hate blogger.  The ONLY thing it really has to do is make text look neat, clean, and readable.  It sucks at doing that.  It randomly changes background color and constantly messes up paragraph spacing.  Fuck you blogger.
