How to do it

Setup. Attach a dual handled chain or rope attachment to the sled. You should be facing away from the sled, holding a handle in each hand.

1. Begin the movement by moving forward for one step. Leaning forward, extend through the legs and hips to move, pausing with each step to extend through the elbows, pressing your hands forward. Step forward until you return to the start position prepared to press.

Cues

• Face away from the sled.
• Lean forward, take one step.
• Press the handles straight out.
• Keep the hips driving.

Common mistakes

• Standing too upright.
• Short choppy steps.

Where to start

A starting point, not a law. Pick a weight you could lift two or three more times than the top of the range. When every set hits the top of the range, add a little weight.
