Suitcase Carry

What it is

Walking while holding a heavy weight in one hand, like a suitcase. The core has to work hard to keep you from leaning. Walk tall and switch hands.

One side at a time: log each side, and match the reps of your weaker side.

Technique tips

• Hold a heavy weight at your side
• Stand tall, do not lean
• Walk with short controlled steps
• Switch hands after each set

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
