Yoke Walk

Technique

How to perform Yoke Walk

1. Adjust the yoke crossbar so you can stand under it with the bar resting across your upper back.
2. Set your feet under your hips and use the side posts or handles to steady the frame.
3. Brace your torso, keep your head aligned and straighten your hips and knees to lift the yoke clear of the floor.
4. Walk forward with short, quick, controlled steps while keeping the load steady.
5. Maintain your braced trunk rather than deliberately exaggerating your lower-back arch.
6. At the end of the carry, stop under control and bend your hips and knees to lower the frame back to the ground.
