Overhead Carry

Walk with bells locked overhead. Builds shoulder stability, thoracic extension, and core bracing under the most demanding overhead load there is — motion.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Get them up safely

    Clean both bells to the rack, then press them overhead. If you can't press them, you can't carry them.

  2. 02

    Lock out and stand still

    Arms straight, biceps near your ears, shoulders pulled down into your back, ribs down, glutes tight.

  3. 03

    The gate

    If you can't hold them still standing, you have no business walking with them. Go lighter.

  4. 04

    Short, steady steps

    Eyes forward. If a bell drifts, stop and re-stack it rather than chasing it with your back.
