Same for strongest man contests,

I've said for a while that loaded carries are the most "functional" weight training exercise. Very few tomes in life arebyou going to lift a heavy weight and set it right back down where it was. But quite often you will have to lift something and carry it for a distance. Strength coach Dan John said that loaded carries are the single best exercise you can do. If that's all you did you could be strong, muscular and in great shape. It really is a full body exercise. You look huge in the video by the way Mate! 💪

I don’t understand why I never see anyone in the gym doing loaded carries. They’re probably the most functional single exercise for a regular person. I always do them at the end of my sessions until my grip gives out, and always seem to get funny looks.

While I was working at a grocery store, I saw we sold 40 lbs (18kg) bags of water softener that had handle on them, being sold for around $4 (3.13 pounds, I think. I just googled it). I bought them and now I use them for loaded carries in my backyard.

Loaded Carries is definitely a good crossover exercise to real world everyday application!

Carrying scaffolding too and from the truck has got me in the best shape of my life

Your hint about "short" steps is spot on. Especially when making a turn. The weight keeps the momentum going and it can hurt your knees if done too quickly.

Actually, lifting odd size or awkward items can result in catastrophic and even fatal injuries in the workplace. There are general lifting guidelines for any kind of loads, but each load may need a different approach or technique based on the size and shape of the load. Factors such as cold or hot temperature, poor lighting, handling excessive loads, and not training employees to handle heavy loads can cause devastating injuries and safety issues. Using mechanical power aids, skids, pallets, or team lifting can help to reduce or eliminate injuries at the workplace.

@seanharris8419

@The Bioneer As someone who has been in an extremely physically grueling line of work for the better part of a decade I can tell you that having too physical of a job becomes detrimental to training, not beneficial. It makes it really hard for your body to recover and the amount of calories you have to consume is ridiculous. Not to mention the injuries that happen on the job that keep you out of the gym.

Huge fan of loaded carries. I did my own bodyweight (235) in each hand for 30 yards when I was 57. No straps of course. Zercher carries of over 300 pounds for distance. I'm also like the Prowler/Sled push/pull and flipping tires. It's all good and it all works to build Beast strength.

Great video with a good balance of talk and demo! Well done.

I love heavy carries. Any and all forms. I use these instead of typical weightlifting usually. It pairs really well with calisthenics to build total body control and brute strength and power as well as overall conditioning. I've always heard work strong is always stronger than gym strong. And nothing is more like work than carrying heavy shit. Lol

You sir, are my hero! Always looked for content like this! Keep it up

I love suitcase carry and can really feel it in my obliques, I’ve been doing it to avoid injury for my squat and deadlift. I’ve been skipping it lately so thanks for kicking me back into gear

What a terrific explanation of such simple exercises!!!!

Great video to highlight just how great this is for you. I do them 2-3x per week now, but I'm going to move it into an everyday thing.

Great video. I honestly think loaded carries are the best exercises out there. Super simple, works huge areas of your body, not much technique you need to learn, and so much you can do with them by changing the type of carry, thing you're carrying, and how you carry it (for distance, time, weight etc etc).

amazing video you shed light on topics not a lot of others do keep up the good work

I love loaded carries : so many different variations, so many different pieces of equipment. All of them fab !!!

I remember when i used to answer back in high school to the question of "What do you lift Bro?" with about 10 grocery bags in each hand. Honestly solid weight is too easy carrying a water bottle case on your shoulder may not be much in weight but the shifting of the mass is putting you through constant adjustment. If you really wanna train for that i recommend a barrel of water or even water jugs they got low grip and shift making you use muscles on a wider range. Any peeps here got any unconventional methods?

Carrying large awkward things is definitely worth training, but investing in a couple hundred pounds of lead shot (recovered from shooting ranges) makes it much easier to conveniently carry a lot of weight without all the bulk! The tricky bit is choosing a container that won't tear in the face of all that density.

Really like your channel.

Im a scaffolder so i found i was already good at these lifts when i started but now im even stronger at scaffolding because of these lifts. Most underated chanel

A consideration for suitcase carries; pack your shoulder and activate the lats to keep the weight from banging against your leg. This helps prevent your posture from collapsing and minimizes any leaning. This works even better if you use a heavy kettlebell.

One of my favorite workouts to do is carry my 50 lbs Sandbell around my garage 2x and then do 20 step ups (10 each leg) for 20-30 min nonstop. Great for conditioning.

Great stuff mate! 👍

Saw this yesterday and was so inspired that even though our gym at work isn’t finished and has little equipment I decided to start doing some loaded carries (starting with light weight to see how I go) and using whatever I found at work... Just did carries back and forth for 15 minutes continuous without stopping... 2 x 18kg temporary fencing feet (yellow) 2 x dumbbells (7.5kg each) 1 x roughly 30kg iron drain cover Got a sweat on, felt great!

Commando!!!! Weighted Goblet squats with walking. Basically take a few steps then squat.

I think when people say they do "functional exercise" they usually mean they exercise to improve the functionality of their body without regards to the aesthetic effects which makes sense, a lot of people want to exercise just so they can live their daily lives with more energy and less pain, not everyone is trying to get stacked. But then you have a lot of guys in say the calisthenics sphere(which is mostly what I do) that will throw the word "functional" when what they really mean is relative strength and body mechanics.

I would consider using still toe shoes for some of these. I have broken my little toe, two times. And as a man I did cry like a little girl.

I recently moved out on the land with my fiancé and in-laws. We are all working from home producing our own food. Every day I try to turn my work into workouts, and a personal favourite is to carry my beloved on my shoulders while she picks fruits of the trees.

1:03 "Bloke in distress" 😆

I have an entire day each week dedicated to farmers walks. I especially like it when my girl is over, she 115 pounds but man carrying her in front and trading her shoulder to shoulder on each set. She loves it ad much as I do hahahaha

I really like the idea of carrying a kettlebell around the house. Almost like a hall pass.

Sandbag carries and sled pulls
