Walking with weight

Today I went on two separate walks with my 16kg kettlebell just to the end of a long street and back...each taking about 14 minutes. Since today is my rest day I planned to do something over nothing and work on some oddities.

1: suitcase carry-it wasn't great, my spine wasn't perfectly vertical...it swayed with each step which isn't ideal, but it did provide unilateral loading. I switched hands when needed.

2: racked-much better. I was quickly more fatigued in my thoracic spine racked vs suitcase. There was no trunk flexion or lateral movement of the spine-just mid-line stabilization.

My torso is very short to it is easy to rest my elbows on my legs while seated by having a little trunk flexion. Not good. I can improve the suitcase carry by decreasing the weight and not letting my spine bend toward the weight and perform the exercise as it is supposed to be. I also need to stop resting my elbows on things in order to keep my postural muscles engaged.

Thanks to RossTraining.com I have been re-inspired to start working the neck again and also because my bands are right next to me and not at my gym.
Neck work with bands and bridges and headstands. I also threw in some arm haulers since my shoulders have been feeling sloppy and unstable during OH squats.
