Kettlebell Goblet Carry
Description
The kettlebell goblet carry is a loaded carry where you hold a kettlebell at chest height (goblet style) and walk for distance or time. The chest-loaded position challenges the upper back, anti-flexion core stability, and grip endurance. It is one of the most underrated full-body conditioning exercises.
