How to do it

Setup. To begin, load the sled with the desired weight and attach the pulling strap. You can pull with handles, use a harness, or attach the pulling strap to a weight belt.

1. Whether pulling forwards or backwards, lean in the direction of travel and progress by extending through the hips and knees.

Cues

• Lean into the direction of travel.
• Short powerful steps.
• Drive through the whole foot.
• Keep the strap tight.

Common mistakes

• Standing upright.
• Overstriding.

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.
