A good advanced unilateral carry is the long log carries. When you carry a log on one side, your core has to work harder to balance the spine and the pelvis but when you do this exercise with a very long log, the log won't just mainly shift side to side but the two ends of the log will shift up and down at a greater extend while compared to short log carries. You will have to work harder to make sure the log does not fall backwards or forwards. This will get your abs involved at a whole new level. Once you master the short log carries I highly recommend getting a long log (it can be same weight) and doing the same exercise and trust me, it will feel much different. Try not to use your arms too much to stabilize the log if you want to work on your core. I just use my arms to hold the log still and then use my core to stabilize it. This tip helps with getting your core in to the game a lot more. Wake Up Lean Review
With short log carries you can do heavier loads so it has it's slightly different benefits. I recommend using a short log and long log for carries to get maximum benefits from your core training. Once you master the carries, the next step is learning how to do squats in this position.
