Offsets are basically doing farmers walks with uneven loads with odd implements or at different levels. Like a sandbag in on hand and a kettleball in another. Really anything you can imagine. An example would be a heavy dumbell carried in regular farmer's walk fashion in one hand and a sandbag carried on the opposite shoulder. Or perhaps a dumbell in clean position. The weights don't need to match of course. In place of a sandbag and army backpack with heavy stuff in in will work.
I use to do these all the time. It's great for working your core. Also, if you just grab a barbell with one hand, at the side of your body, isn't that called a one sided suitcase carry or suitcase deadlifts.
