You’re really correct.
Doing some farmer walks with heavy kettle bells or dumbbells would do wonders.
As for specific tape recommendations, anything would be fine. I’d probably start by going to academy and seeing what they had in the golf or weightlifting areas.
I’ve used kettlebells since dragondoor introduced them to America 16 years ago.
I use them every week to this day… and the farmers carry is great for the core and grip.
Thx!
