Primary muscles: Quadriceps
Secondary muscles: Abdominals, Abductors, Adductors, Calves, Glutes, Hamstrings, Lower Back
How to do it
- The yoke is usually done with a yoke apparatus, but is sometimes seen with refrigerators or other heavy objects.
- Begin by racking the apparatus across the back of the shoulders. With your head looking forward and back arched, lift the yoke by driving through the heels.
- Begin walking as quickly as possible using short, quick steps. You may hold the side posts of the yoke to help steady it and hold it in position. Continue for the given distance as fast as possible, usually 75-100 feet.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Yoke Walk from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
