This puts unnecessary stress on your shoulders. I teach you to keep the Gada close to your head, moving in controlled, rhythmic swings. Even with a light 5kg weight, it is not about the heavy lift; it is about keeping the movement tight and your shoulder blades engaged. Training with the Gada or Karlakatte is fundamentally different from modern weightlifting. In a standard gym, you push weight away from your body. With the Gada, you are working on rotational power and shoulder stability by moving weight around your body. It is an old-school discipline that corrects the hunched posture many of us get from sedentary desk jobs. I guide you through a structured 4-week progression. We start with 5kg to master the range of motion without compensating. Only once your form is clean do we introduce 10kg or heavier variations. This helps build the stabilizing muscles around your rotator cuff that machine-based lifting often misses. Whether you are recovering from a shoulder issue or just want to bulletproof your joints for heavy compound lifts like deadlifts, this traditional conditioning provides a different kind of strength that is built to last. We focus on the connection between your grip, your core, and the movement. ## About Habit Fitness I am here to show you how to move your body right. You won't find me screaming at you to lift heavy if your form is off, because that is how injuries happen. I care about your progress and your health, so we will take the time to learn the techniques properly, starting with the basics.
