Welcome back to another Technique Tuesday!
We have already discussed the benefits and importance of bottoms up kettlebell Presses as well as waiter walks. Now we are going to combine these two movements into a more advanced version.
Waiter walks are a fantastic way to strengthen and stabilize your shoulder girdle and engages your core at the same time .
Waiter walks teach you how to pack your shoulder (driving down into your scapulae) which gives more stability when you are over head with a weight. When you shrug down in this way and squeeze the dumbell or kettlebell with your hand, a signal is sent to your rotator cuff telling it to turn on.
Asymmetrical movements like this (weight on one side and not the other) are also a great way to train core and hip stability.
Tips: Use a lighter weight than traditional waiter walks. Squeeze the weight, ‘pack’ your shoulder’, stand tall and straight…don’t lean! Try to go 30-40 yards on each side.
