The One | Teaching Focus

Rolling the Shoulders Back in Farmer’s Carry

Today’s emphasis is on maintaining proper posture by rolling the shoulders back during the farmer’s carry. Rolling the shoulders back and down helps create a strong, stable upper body and keeps the load in a safe, efficient position. This posture engages the upper back muscles, protects the shoulders from rounding forward, and supports better breathing and core stability during the carry.

Strategies

Today's workout is meant to be a chance to work at a lower intensity and get a good sweat in, allowing the body to recover a bit while still improving our fitness. 

Aim to work at a continuous pace, but do not work at a hard enough pace that you are struggling to maintain your effort.

Farmers Carry Warm-Up | Tell, Show, Do, Check

  • 0:20 Plank Scapular Retractions
  • Scapular Retractions: With arms extended in front, focus on pulling the shoulder blades back (squeezing them together) and then releasing.
  • 0:20 Plank Shoulder Taps
  • This helps activate the core and stabilize the shoulders, key for maintaining posture during carries.
  • 0:20 Single-Arm Suitcase Carry (Light Load)
  • Have athletes pick up a light weight in one hand and walk 10–15 meters (or in place if space is limited).
  • Encourage them to stand tall, roll the shoulders back, and brace the core to avoid leaning to one side.
  • 0:20 Double Dumbbell (or Kettlebell) Light Farmer’s Carry
  • Watch for athletes maintaining upright posture, a tight core, and stable, steady steps.
  • 0:20 Farmer’s Carry (Workout Load)
  • Move to the load intended for the workout.
  • Ensure athletes keep their eyes forward, shoulders back, and arms relaxed (not shrugging). Emphasize even weight distribution and deliberate foot placement.

Look For

  • Farmers Carry: Athletes should only need to break 1-2 times throughout the carry, be sure they have chosen the appropriate loading. 
  • Bike: Look for athletes to maintain 70+ RPM throughout their bike. 
  • Double Unders: As grip and shoulders fatigue from the carry, encourage athletes to relax their shoulders.
  • Sit Ups:  Encourage athletes to move smooth and steady here, no need to sprint but we want to try and stay moving the whole time.
