How To: Shoulder Loads

Shoulder loads are an awesome way to attack your core, entire posterior and conditioning. The fast pace pattern of this movement allows you to move it – think a kettlebell swing but closer and much harder.

  • Remember to do the initial pick-up properally.
    • Stand over the bag and deadlift it to right above your knees – close your feet slightly and place bag on your knees as a rack.
  • Re-grip the bag and drive your hips into extension with your calves and roll the bag up your body to your shoulder.
  • REALLY use your glutes here – your arms are just there to keep it rolling up your body. Your entire posterior and core should be screaming if done correctly.
