If you're a busy dad or entrepreneur looking to get leaner, stronger, and harder to kill—without wasting time—this is the episode for you. Today, Nate breaks down one of the most powerful and underrated exercises in the gym: loaded carries. Whether it's farmer's carries, suitcase carries, or front rack walks, these simple movements deliver massive returns in grip strength, posture, fat loss, and real-world functional strength.

Backed by science and real-life examples, you'll discover how loaded carries boost metabolism, improve cardiovascular conditioning, and protect your joints while building full-body stability. Nate dives into a powerful study showing the link between grip strength and longevity—plus 6 more research-backed reasons why every man over 30 should be doing loaded carries every week. This episode gives you specific benchmarks, programming tips, and a strength scale to measure your progress.

By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to incorporate carries into your training—and you'll be challenged to test your own dad-strength by carrying 50% of your bodyweight per hand for 60 seconds. Tag Nate on Instagram with your results and take one step closer to becoming leaner, more capable, and built for life outside the gym.
