Exercise: Farmers carry⠀
•⠀
Muscle groups trained: upper back, traps, core, legs, arms... ⠀
•⠀
Purpose: this exercise is a great tool to strengthen your core, upper back, and stabilize your shoulders. Overall it’s a full body movement ⠀
•⠀
Execution: the key is to remain in a neutral spine with shoulders down and back, rib cage down, and eyes forward. Don’t be afraid to load this movement, but be sure you can remain in a tall and neutral position throughout. Common errors are shoulders falling forward and upper back rolling. Don’t do that. Don’t be stupid. ⠀
•⠀
Equipment: something heavy... dumbbells, kettlebells, farmers bar, trap bar, barbells, buckets of sand/water... get creative
