Suitcase Carry
How to do it
- Set one heavy dumbbell beside you.
- Pick it up in one hand and stand tall with it hanging at your side.
- Walk in a straight line, resisting the pull that wants to tip you toward the weight.
- Keep your shoulders level and square the whole way.
- Walk the same distance on both sides. The anti-lean is the work - do not let your torso bend.
