Why Carries Might Be the Most Underrated Exercise in Training
Carries build strength, stability, and resilience in ways other exercises can't. Learn why they're essential for long-term success.
Most training programs focus on the big lifts: squats, deadlifts, presses. But there's one exercise that's often overlooked despite being incredibly effective: carries. Whether it's farmer's walks, suitcase carries, or overhead carries, loaded carries might be the most underrated exercise in training.
At Elite Performance Clinic, we program carries for almost every client. They build strength, stability, and resilience in ways that other exercises simply can't. Here's why carries are essential for long-term training success.
Why Carries Are So Effective
- Full-body integration: They require your entire body to work together
- Core stability: They challenge your core in ways isolated exercises can't
- Grip strength: They build crushing grip strength that transfers to everything
- Postural integrity: They teach you to maintain position under load
- Functional strength: They mimic real-world strength demands
