Lifting and Carrying: MovNat Beginner Benchmark #3 by Danny Clark

6 Natural Movement Benchmarks for Beginners: https://movnat.com/natural-movement-b...

Movements: Deadlift + Carry

Volume: 5 Deadlifts, followed by a 20m waist carry

Intensity: approx. 1/2 bodyweight sandbag (or equivalent object) for men; approx. 1/3 bodyweight sandbag for women

Complexity: Flat, level, firm surface

Execution: Begin with the Deadlift repetitions until complete, then proceed to Lapping, then proceed to the Carry using an appropriate grip. Finish the waist carry by setting the bag down using Lapping and Deadlift techniques in reverse

Video Notes: I chose a really bulky object, and didn’t walk as far as designated in the benchmark.  My grip capacity for that object just wasn’t up to par that day. Even I need to continue to refine the basics!
