Today we are working on conditioning, posture and grip. While trying to maintain some lower leg adaptation from our recent sprinting. We are Looking for neurological coordination adaptation by having you locomote both loaded and unloaded. transitions are important for the adaptation . So try to move smoothly between one movement and the next (fast transitions).
For the farmer carries, try to keep the handle of your object in the center of your palm as opposed to in your fingers. You can use a hook grip if you want. Keeping in the center of your palm will help prep us for when we get back to pull ups, barbells and rings, and help those of you who need to develop a false grip.
