"This is one of the central problems in Western fitness: We try to lift things before we have carry capacity. Take the kind of weights you want to lift and carry them. Let’s carry those with alignment and integrity under load. Guess what would happen if we all did more carries than lifts? You wouldn’t be looking for correctives. This can help your endurance. It can help your core stabilization. It can help your posture. This is where balance starts—carries, not with deadlifting; not with bench pressing and not with single-leg deadlifts, and not with Turkish getups and swings and push presses. Balance starts with work capacity. Alignment with integrity is good balance. A balance beam on the floor is a pre-requisite for this, but now alignment with integrity under load is a good rebuttal." - Gray Cook. www.noregretspt.com.au/index.php/resources/blog/43-2014/342-farmers-walks-the-most-under-rated-and-powerful-functional-movement

Single arm loaded carries! Twist and toss hand-to-hand is fun too and requires lowering (partial squat) as arm goes around behind and raising as I bring it to front to hand off. Easy, slow and rhythmic, not ballistic.

I've enjoyed going to a park and carrying a not particularly heavy implement like a mace and then periodically stopping to do reps with it, or carrying a medicine ball and throwing it in a variety of ways, and running or walking briskly to it, repeating over and over.

I did something similar about one year ago and had a fun and different workout that surprisingly gave me some next day DOMS in new areas.

My Chiropractor comes back from vacation this coming Monday. I wonder if when I show him this article if he will grin, chuckle and mumble something about job security. I know long distance runners help pay for osteo doctors summer homes.

I hope my wide adjustable webbing that I use to perform an isometric version of the Health Lift is safe .

I hope my wide adjustable webbing that I use to perform an isometric version of the Health Lift is safe . George Windship championed & did deadlifting. Yet, he died of a massive stroke at 42. Eugen Sandow died of an aneurysm while pushing his car out of a ditch at 57. Deadlifting is whole body exercise which can be intense & turn ur face red. You’re pushing 80? Drink more dark cocoa before deadlifting anything heavy. Dark (70%) chocolate actives stem cells for blood vessels including the coronary artery. BTW, good dark chocolate tastes bitter because of all the polyphenols it contains. Google all I’ve said for ur review.

The devil could be in the detail, perhaps momentary poor breathing (as in holding the breath) could have been the difference between life and death for Sandow, though you would expect him to have known better. If you deadlift regular, perform 'heavy' isometrics etc and be very mindful and careful, breathing shallow or at least exhaling well with the effort, you should be ok. I have had some very unpleasant experiences with heavy exercises, I think there is a good chance my breathing was not quite as perfect as it should have been. Regarding cocoa, I often time my morning cayenne pepper & cocoa in warm water around my bike rides, particularly if it is going to be an intense one. Drink, ride, or ride and drink as soon as I am back. Preferably the former.

I never hold my breath when exercising, but ESPECIALLY when doing isos or heavy loaded exercise. I recommend breathing as freely and normally as possible at all times.

I wasn't meaning holding the breath as such, more subtle such as not quite letting the breath out perfectly in tune with the exertion.

I hope my wide adjustable webbing that I use to perform an isometric version of the Health Lift is safe . ***Eugen Sandow died of an aneurysm while pushing his car out of a ditch at 57. I had never heard those particular details, so I looked up his 'wiki'... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_SandowSandow's grave at Putney Vale Cemetery, in 2012 Sandow died at his home in Kensington, London, on 14 October 1925 of what newspapers announced as a brain hemorrhage at age 58. It was allegedly brought on after straining himself, without assistance, to lift his car out of a ditch after a road accident two or three years earlier. However, without an autopsy, his death was certified as due to aortic aneurysm.
