200 Pound Zercher Carry in Snow

Just a quickie from this evening's workout. Of course I carried the barbell there first, then took a breather before making the return trip. I also did suitcase carries, some time on the ski machine, and a kettlebell swing Tabata session all inside the barn, but this outdoor segment was all that I bothered to film.

The snow is melting fast now (though we got some fresh snow overnight and this morning), so it is very uneven and treacherous. Finding solid footing was actually harder than walking with the weight.

Carrying weight in front of the body really works the core muscles hard. It is also one of the most practical things to do for real-life applications. Of course, doing it in snow may not be the wisest thing to do, but I love getting outdoors.
