#shorts The single-arm farmer's carry is an asymmetrical exercise in which we hold an external load in one arm and walk around. It is a great exercise to improve core stability and treat lower back pain in some cases. But sometimes we see people do it wrong! Common Mistake The most common mistake we see is lateral flexion of the spine. The trainee is unable to maintain a neutral spine position, and the weight pulls the body sideways. How to fix it? In order to maintain a neutral position, many muscles have to activate: 🔴 The erector spinae on the opposite side and the lateral fibers of the external obliques stabilize the spine. 🟠 The forearm flexors are active in holding the weight. 🟡 The triceps and biceps activate to stabilize the elbow joint. 🟢 The deltoid and other muscles around the shoulder stabilize the shoulder joint. 🔵 The upper and middle trapezius fibers stabilize the scapula. 🟣 The core muscles recruit to support the spine, which is under heavy load. ⚫ The leg muscles move the body. How can you avoid this mistake? Contract the abdominal muscles, erector spinae, and pelvic floor muscles to stabilize the spine. Try to stand with the weight in your hand and maintain a straight stance. If you can maintain it without walking, you can start gradually practicing walking with the weight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WANT EXCLUSIVE VIDEOS NOT FOUND ON YOUTUBE?
