The most common carry activities are medleys, farmer’s walks, and the yoke. For carry exercises, you’ll need kegs and sandbags. These pieces of equipment prepare your body to carry heavy loads. So if you are planning to take part in a carry competition, you must work hard using your kegs and sandbags. If you are a beginner, you can start with a barbell loaded to a weight. You can then have heavy kettlebells attached on both sides. Lift it to your back, then walk for about 100 feet to help your body get used to heavy loads. With time, you can increase the weights and your speed. Load activity is the core of strongman training. It involves lifting equipment and putting it over a bar or onto a higher platform. For this exercise, you’ll need sandbags, kegs, and stones. Sandbags are affordable and easy to store. Stones are also good, but they take up a lot of space. Whatever you are loading, it is advisable to start with light weights and increase the weight as your body gets used to loading activities.
