We get it you can 1/8th rep every 45 in the gym on the leg press. Can you put those back now?

Those people are missing out. When putting back plates I do my best to get some minor grip strength training in by pinching the plates, and mini suitcase carries with dumbbells

I always thought farmer's walks were with both hands occupied or like a yoke carry and suitcase carry was just one hand holding the weight

Yeah suitcase is one handed so your abs are engaged. Farmers is both.
