Perhaps THE Best exercise to forestall decrepitude. After dragging the sled one day a week for four years, I have the best calves and booty of my life at age 65, and I have squatted, lunged, and deadlifted most of my life. Drag 80 pounds all the way around the track in soft gravel in barefoot shoes and all your foot problems will disappear too. Between laps we do ballistic and explosive exercises (wall balls, club bells, etc.) A hard workout on a beautiful Sunday morning is the high point of my week. Go Sledding!
Thanks for a very informative video. I started sled training 10 days ago, and I absolutely love it! I load the sled up as heavy as I can handle (currently at 235 pounds, including weight of the sled), then push it forward, and drag it backwards (walking backwards while pulling it toward me), 15 yards in each direction, 6 sets. It's an incredible workout, and really fun. I'm 53, and I feel like it's making me younger!
I bought a sled and have it at my parents house so when I visit I got something I can do!! I sent this video to my dad, he is a milk man and sits down a majority of his day and his sciatica flares up hopefully this will inform him how to properly use the sled for himself.
What a super simple way to setup sled drags, I’ve only ever done them a harness, which is a mission to get on. Using a strop is so simple. Just tried this now and awesome.
Good stuff. I’m a mid 40’s engineer, aka, a desk jockey. My squat and DL are in the 500’s. Because of my age, job, and working weight in the gym, it takes a good 30 minutes before I’m moving anything heavy. I’ll try this during my warmup. Thanks.
I just made a DIY sled at home for my channel. Thanks for this video man. I am learning about fitness as I go and glad you were able to break down the benefits so clearly
Awesome video! We have a sled at my gym and want to start using it. Can't do squats because of a past injury. But at least I can really blast my legs without putting any compression on my back and just fry them with the sled.
Yeah I do push pull, but I’ll get down low on the sleds arms full extension and drive as if I’m in a Rugby union scrum. Then I hold the sled bar sit into almost 90* angle and drag backwards arms full extension and I’m sitting backwards.... massive quad activation dragging back and glutes /calves pushing down low - over all strength endurance / cardio thru the roof
I just had my shoulder surgery Wednesday and was back in the gym on Saturday for belt squats and leg machines. Kind of limited on what I can do but there is always something you can do. A friend of mine offered me his sled and gave it to me at yesterday’s workout. I remembered seeing this video sometime ago so I looked it up for the great training tips. 👍🏻
How to incorporate sled in my lifting routine or should I use sled only on tje day I do hitt/functional trainning? I do not do any barbell squats do to bulding disk on lower back. I do landmine belt squats now but I heard prowler are good to build legs?? Iam not an athlete anymore, iam a 50 year old fit male. I do full body lifting workouts 3x a week m,w and f...and on Tuesday I rest or do LISS workout and on THURSDAY I do 30 min HITT/functional trainning workouts with kettlebells, sandbags, sledg hammers, etc....
Watching this with captions on because my kids is next to me sleeping. RUclips thinks your saying sled dragons for sled drags but I think we should keep it as sled dragons sounds cooler!
Grab that strap with one arm and walk forward or backwards, you'll smash your core that way. I think drags like this are one of the most natural movements we can do. I like to imagine we evolved to drag trees for firewood.
Is it possible to drag an absurd heavy weight having a light bodyweight? Currently i am working in a warehouse, one of my tasks is dragging pallets, and they can be really heavy, easily around 1 ton. And my coworkers mock me because I don't get to move them(I am very short and 55 kg), even when I consider my self very strong in powerlifting movements. Is there a specific technique for that?
Sled walks are the shit! I do anywhere from 1/2 mile to 1 mile walks with my sled. It will get you in incredible shape. I usually stick to a 1/2 mile though, it can be a suffer fest but you don’t have to kill yourself just lower the weight.
Matt - excellent video man thanks so much for the video. I would love to hear about loading of the sled drag for different attributes of strength, endurance and warm up. I realise "weight" is not a great guide as I drag a tire that has lots of friction so minimal weight required versus a metal sled. But are there some basic descriptions of loading?
Definite gems you spoke on but I would like your personal/profession opinion on which type of sled you would reccomend? I really do NOT want to spend 1k for the torque m1 but the regular sleds and the prowler looks like a benefit for me and my sons and friends and family. Any recommendations sir?
This is interesting. In the absence of a sled, would steep hill walks work as well if you concentrate on keeping the legs as straight as possible do you think?
Grab a tire from in front of any mechanic shop, they have to pay to throw them out so they don't mind. Drill two holes in the tire about 5 inches apart, grab a little 1 foot nylon loop/runner at a climbing store or a hardware store to put through the hole to make an eye, , loop a big nylon strap through that eye OR TRXs, OR rings, OR a rope any thickness, OR a harness (deer drag harness or climbing harness or construction harness all cheap) and for the cost of the nylon runner and the strap/rope/grip you have a fully functional sled I put a small square if plywood in mine as a bottom bso I can put weights and cinder blocks of all sizes in there
I've been dragging brush for a decade. I want to get a sled to add some progression and scientifical effort. But I'm too cheap to buy one. I'll build one eventually.
I have been doing these along with pushing my prowler for a couple years. However I have been doing it usually for sprints of 40 yards for sets of 10 with varying weights. Would you recommend that? Or just walking it, I am looking for muscular activation along with conditioning.
One of the best workouts in the world is a sled drag in a bear crawl or mountain climber position. Moderate to heavy weight rigged of off shoulder straps . We did it in grass with very grippy shoes . A total ass kicking !!
Greetings! I have a question. I am considering the heavy weighted sled pull routine into my exercise. Planning to build a huge muscular physique. I am not aiming to be a sprinter or a runner. I want to gain size. I want to be huge and muscular. Will a HEAVY weight sled pull exercise hinder mass gain? I keep reading on other forums that the sled pull burns fat and energy and makes you lose weight. Will using heavy weights on the sled make you gain mass instead of losing it? Thank you for your kind attention.
Really it comes down to what you are doing....lighter weight and longer sprints/push/run = more cardio, heavier weight and shorter sprint/ push/run = strength/size....just like most workouts
I did sled for the first time today. My legs are so sore but I love it! I cycle often so for my legs be sore, says this exercise is the business! Can't wait to add more weight but wish the space was longer. I want to be near dead by the time I get to the other end. Oh well, the weight should make up for the space. Anyway... Can anyone answer: 1. Can I do this every workout? (Multiple times a week on back to back days?) 2. Does pushing a sled in front of you moving forward, do the same work as pulling a sled forward behins you (like in this video)? 3. If I'm pushing it forward while in front of me, what is the best way to target my glutes? Raising my hips high? Walking slow? Full leg extensions? Etc. What combo do you suggest?
If gym doesn't have space for sled drags...can there be cable machine alternative for this movement pattern..? If you make a video on this , it will make me very happy 😇 Thanks for this video though....
Yes Ron ...Jeff cavilier has a very old video on this, where he proposes that this movement is more effective and safer than the machine knee extension....
Throw a tow strap on the prowler and compare. I think there are a lot more ways to mess up pushing vs. dragging, especially when using a tow strap across the hips as shown here.
This was JUST what I was looking for in the way of helping me target my glutes with the sled. Now, how would you go about programming a simple little sled workout. In the video you said you only walk 20-40 yards...would you do this for 5 rounds? Or where might you start with implementing the sled into your routine?
@@WenningStrength oh my bad. Well thanks for the link :) This is the first video of Wenning Strength I’ve watched…but from it, seems you guys are putting out solid stuff!
There are many ways to build muscle. Concentric training works fine to build muscle. Olympics weigth lifters build a lot of muscle doing mostly the concentric part of the lifts. And by the way, the sled drag movement is both concentric and eccentric
moris salas how is the sled ecentric. Which muscle does ecentric loading, tell me. Really curious here. I am not saying there is only one way to build muscle, but taking out the most important factor is a stupid way to build muscle. If you do not value your time and are not result oriented, sure go ahead and pick the least efficient ways to build muscle. And please do not fit your bias to your favorite athletes just because their pshyique is a more musuclar than a regular humsn beeing whos heaviest lifts are thwir remote control.
Eplemos4Life its not about bias. Just saying there are several ways to build muscle. When you walk with a sled as resistance you are flexing your knees and then extending them. The extension part pf the movement is eccentric for you hamstrings. Even if the range of movement is very short in this movement it still is eccentric and a great way to train your muscles. Walking or running with a sled is a very god way to train for power and muscle conditioning. To build quality muscle you should not just use one aspect of training. Speed, power and conditioning are very important too. But of course that depends on what your goals are. Dont get me wrong, i also do classic ”body building workouts” but i think you get a lot more out of your training if you mix in other stuff too
Phase1: Hip flexors and rectus femors lifts your knee in concentric. Phase 2: Hams and glutes drive your leg back when it hits the ground, while simaltaniously extending the knee from quads, also concentric. Cycle repeats. There is no ecentric. Sleds is a shitty tool for muscle building (doesnt matter how popular a youtuber is who says it) but a good tool for workcapacity. But please enlighten me of ecentric loading in sled.
Don't have a metal one like this made one from a 4x4 tyre, chain and a tow strap...and yes when I walk around the block there's some weird looks but best of all often some friendly questions and conversation.
