Suitcase Carry
One-sided loaded carry — exposes and fixes left–right differences in the trunk and grip better than any machine.
- 01Pick up one heavy weight in one hand, standing tall.
- 02Set the shoulders level and the ribs down — resist the lean.
- 03Walk 20–40 metres with controlled, even steps.
- 04Swap hands and match the distance exactly. Note which side is harder.
- 01Stay square — the loaded side should not drop or hike.
- 02Grip hard; the carry ends when the hand fails, not the trunk.
- 03Match sides exactly. This is an asymmetry tool.
- 01Leaning away from the weight to counterbalance.
- 02Doing more on the strong side.
- 03Going so heavy the posture breaks in the first five steps.
Note: Reference material, not a prescription. Load, volume and whether this movement suits you at all depends on your assessment — if something hurts, stop and get it looked at.
