As a lifting noob (and pussy), 3x BW feels pretty high. Never even tried something even close to that. I reckon a carry is a much easier movement than a deadlift since you don’t go as low and only lift 10cm or so off the floor?
That's not a common carry , just when the weight is moving well on a certain day and you just keep adding until new limit is reached. Yoke pick up is not like a deadlift one. You're all the way at the top of a squat so it's just a leg drive of a few inches. You stay braced and rigid with short fast steps. Not a natural stride that would start rocking the weight. If your core stability isn't there, you're not getting far and won't be able to support the weight in motion. Any weight can be dangerous to move, but it has a very safe bail out if something doesn't feel right. Just drop it. It's safer than a squat walk out.
I wasn’t going to talk about it but since it’s a fight forum I’m currently in works for a fight ( don’t know what kind it’s bare knuckles right now ) for summer so these type of excercise training stuff work my current form at 49 yrs old so I’m going 50 we’ll see what happens I’m looking forward to it .
I watched a master of sport in freestyle wrestling. He would totally agree with you. I agree, too. For me, it's less important how hard I can hit than how hard I can grip. If an opponent is just grabbed in some random fight on the street, it helps keep him more intact
After all, there can be big consequences from a hit.
Cheers to that. After the flood when I had to move my shed gym, packed all the dumbbells a couple hundred feet to my sisters garage for storage. Canceled that evenings workout. The heavy bag soaked up water and it took every ounce of energy to drag it from back yard and load it in the truck to dry out.
I use real farmers for my farmers walks. It really builds strength because they struggle whilst I try to do my carries. Ultimate in functional training, Brother.
Try using the trap bar doing 10 yards with 90% of your trap bar deadlift one rep max.
