    Walk with level shoulders and resist leaning to the side.

COMMON MISTAKES

  • Leaning toward the weight — the core must resist this.

  • Shoulders uneven — keep them level.

  • Rushing — walk with control.

SCALING / SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Reduce the load.

  • Reduce the distance.

  • Farmer's carry (bilateral) as a regression.
