How to do it
- Step up to a loaded barbell resting on a rack or blocks at roughly hip height.
- Bend your arms and cradle the bar in the crook of your elbows, fists held close together and elbows tucked under the bar.
- Lift the bar by standing tall, bracing your core hard, and keeping your chest high.
- Walk forward with short, controlled steps, keeping your torso upright without leaning back or rounding your spine.
- Keep your elbows lifted for the full distance or time; if they start to sag under the load, set the bar down.
