6 Ways to Do Loaded Carries

by Jorden Pagel | 08/15/16

What Are Loaded Carries?Execution Tips

Maintain a tall spine by keeping the head in a neutral position with the eyes forward, while pulling the shoulders back and down.
Make sure your grip is centered on the handle.
Squeeze the glutes, brace the abs, and keep your chest up.
Take short but quick steps. Longer strides will cause the weight to swing back and forth.
Pick up a weight of some sort and walk with it. There are many variations, but at their core, loaded carries are just walking with weights.

The Farmer's Walk

The classic. Simply grab a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells and walk.
