    Default How to perform the yoke walk?

    I have a novice strongman competition coming up in just over a month and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to perform the yoke walk? Specifically, where to put the bar and where to put my hands?

    Should I...

    a) Try and emulate my normal low bar squat position with the bar low down and my hands on top of the bar?

    b) Move it up onto my traps and put my hands at the sides like I have see a lot of other people do it?

    I'm only gona have about 3 sessions practicing with a yoke before the competition so I don't have much time for experimentation.

    Thanks!

    I have no personal experience with this. However, this video seems to be one of the better ones on Youtube regarding yoke walks:
