Dumbbell High-Low Carry
Walk with one dumbbell locked out overhead and the other racked at the shoulder; the uneven load tries to bend the trunk sideways every step.
How to do it
Setup
One bell pressed overhead on a straight arm, the other held at the shoulder with the elbow tucked, ribs down.
Steps
- Walk tall, the top arm vertical.
- Keep the racked bell still against the shoulder.
- Switch the bells between arms halfway and walk back.
Common mistakes
Trunk bending toward the overhead side: stand straight between the two loads. Top elbow softening: lock it or take a lighter bell. Racked elbow flaring out: keep it in close to the ribs.
Breathing
Steady throughout the walk.
