I couldn't find a better example. But this is kinda how I have to carry ladders. Im dealing with a huge one kow thus I feel like I need more power to carry it.

Again that picture isn't the perfect example as he stands still ,but imagine holding the ladder with two arms while moving.

BITG, what would be the best exercise to carry this easier?

Hmm...you mean kind of straight out in front of you with your arms extended?

The natural one that is almost the exact same movement pattern would be anterior raises where you either take a DB or cable and pull it straight out in front of you to shoulder height and then back down.

I also like woodchops and reverse woodchops for that, as it targets the front delts and core which would be heavily involved as well. Basically take a DB or cable and go across your body either starting at your waist and ending above the opposite shoulder or starting above your shoulder and ending at the opposite side by your waist. Brace your core while you are doing it as well.

Also other relative general strength movements like deadlifts would probably be helpful as well.
