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.

Look For

  • Run: Encourage athletes to lean forward as they run, this will make the runover feel easier as they move. 
  • Farmers Carry: Look for our teaching focus, roll the shoulders back and down. 
  • Bike: Look for athletes to keep their head and chest up and focus on their breathing.
