So we'll say for a male, you should be able to farmer carry your body weight for, I think we have two minutes.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So, with your body weight, so if you weigh 200 pounds, you have a 100-pound dumbbell in each hand. You get up and you walk it as far as you can. I'd have to look at the exact feet measurement, but I think the elite is almost 300 feet.
for men we'd like to say a guy in his 40s should be able to carry his body weight for a minute so half his body weight in each hand
for a woman who's 40 we would want to see that at about 75% of her weight
and I think for a woman I would probably consider 75% of her body weight to be also an excellent achievement and then of course you might discount that by 10% per decade
I would say a more reasonable standard for kind of you know maybe sub Elite athletes um I think for for a male in his 40s um to be a to carry his body weight for one minute is is good and for 2 minutes is very good
