EVERY.DAY.CARRY Program
When writing this program, I had two different individuals in mind. The first is your normal, slightly above average lifter. They take their training and health pretty seriously, they workout regularly but maybe things have grown a little stale lately with their motivation or progress and they are ready for a new challenge to take them to the next level.
These Athletes want to be strong, functional, athletic, conditioned and want to look like they lift weights (Both with their clothes on as well as off). Maybe they don’t necessarily want to compete in powerlifting, bodybuilding or strongman in a very serious fashion, but they still want to be the absolute best they can be.
If this describes you, running this program is going to change your world. I will go into all of the benefits of weighted Carries in just a bit, but both your body and your performance are about to make a huge change for the better. You will most likely completely rekindle your passion for training and will walk out the other side of this a new human being a few months from now. I am stoked for you because You are about to level up.
The second group of individuals I had in mind are my “WARRIOR ATHLETES”.
These people could be here because they participate in some sort of extra curricular activity where this kind of training will benefit them greatly. Athletes like Mixed Martial Artists, Brazilian Jujitsu Fighters, Wrestlers, Rugby / American Football Players and any other “combat” sport athletes who need to manipulate another human body in a dominant fashion to excel at their game.
Or some athletes could be here on more of a professional level because they work in Military, Law Enforcement, Counter Terrorism, Fire, EMS or even many Medical fields. Often, many of these professionals have to manipulate and control other human bodies or heavy cumbersome objects - and typically in very inconvenient situations or positions.
The functionality of adding weighted Carries to both groups of these Warrior Athletes will do wonders to increase their effectiveness, safety, potency, and usefulness as an asset to whatever mission they find themselves on.
Yes, your powerlifting numbers will rise and your physique will absolutely improve, but the main reason this program was written was to help people use the strength they are building in the gym translate into real world situations.
That could mean lifting A bag of Dog Food, Helping a Buddy move a couch, taking a petulant baby out of a car seat or carrying an individual to safety. Whatever life brings you, this program will arm you with the strength you need to bare it.
You will need enough normal gym equipment to safely and adequately perform the deadlift, squat, bench and overhead press - as well as some Dumbbells, Kettlebells or loadable handles. You will also need an implement to Front Carry (Bear Hug) and Farmer’s Carry - If you need more explanation on what would be suitable and what weights will work best, then check out the accompanying Youtube Video titled, EVERY.DAY.CARRY Program and scroll through the timestamps to the equipment sections and it will all be explained.
No lie, this program will change you and the way you view training for the rest of your life.
