Great job TH... Did you keep the pails separate and use the bucket handles or run a pipe between them to use?

I poured quickrete, let them set and placed handles on the top and they dried solid. took all of 5 mins to make.

p.s. I think my neighbors think I'm nuts doing those walks in the backyard.

If you "just want to do it for cardio"
Light DB's will work.
You would be surprised how heavy 20lb DBs get after about 1/2 mile
Use them like 'heavy hands'
A farmers walk is not a cardio exercise, it is a pure strength exrcise and if you go heavy, it will crush your traps like you wouldn't believe
Cardio = Light DB's and long distances
Strength = heavy DB's and short distances
