Waiter's carry

The waiter's carry is a type of loaded carry that targets the core, shoulders, and upper back. A weight is raised overhead with a single arm before the lifter begins walking in that position. It resembles a waiter carrying a tray overhead—hence the name. It can be performed for time or distance.

Benefits

  1. Strengthens overhead shoulder positioning
  2. The core must work hard to maintain position
  3. Can be performed with any type of weight
  4. Great way to make a light weight tax the entire body
