Strongman Power Stairs
Carry a heavy implement up a flight of stairs by lifting it from each step to the next with the hips and legs, then stepping up behind it.
How to do it
Setup
Standing over the implement on the bottom step, both hands on its handle, back flat.
Steps
- Drive the hips forward to lift the implement up onto the next step.
- Step up behind it and set the feet again.
- Repeat step by step to the top, resting only with the implement down.
Common mistakes
Lifting with a rounded back: hinge and drive with the hips. Setting the implement on the edge of the step: push it well onto the tread. Rushing the footing: both feet planted before each lift.
Breathing
Big breath before each lift, exhale once the implement lands.
