With the XT3 Plus Sled resistance making it up to 50% heavier than the original XT3 Sled, also making it the heaviest 3-wheeled sled option available in the world, built-in upright storage, built-in wheelbarrow function, ability to use the handles for X-Drive push and other exercises, ability to attach harness to the back to keep the front wheel engaged, and the option to add a console to track your workouts more effectively, we think the XT3 Plus Sled is definitely the top choice!
I don't know why but it bothers me how you say Xebex. I've always said (and heard others say) Zeb-Ex, although I did find a robot voice who told me it could be Ze-Bex. You're in the Zi-bex realm right now. THIS IS THE REAL QUESTION WE NEED ANSWERED IN THIS VIDEO 🤪
@@MoSec9 I dunno, if we look at a more common word like XEROX, the XE is just pronounced as Z. So Xebex should be Z-Bex. So still not how Gluck is saying it.
My xebex sled arrived, my review after 45 min use: -low bar and x-drive felt great -reverse walk with Mr infinity belt was great too - used 2 45’s for level 1-6. Used 4 45’s for level 7-8 Weights needed to keep wheel from skidding on driveway (might be that driveway is slick) could not see skid marks on street so possibly I don’t need this much weight elsewhere. The resistance is so great it’s easy to see why the extra weight is needed. -as a side note I will be getting an air compressor that inflates tires on contact vs screw on as the act of unscrewing takes away air pressure accuracy.
Sadly, I have never used a sled but looking into getting one, I see Louis Simmons at Westside Barbell swore by them praising their functionality of building the posterior chain and thus helping to increase ones squat, deadlift, and overall strength. Great review, as I am in the market for one and had no clue about them. Thnkx for the info As always your review was informative and entertaining. I hope U get the chance to go full time with your channel. I appreciate what U do and would Love to see 2-3 of your videos every week. I know U work hard, your regular job and putting out these videos every week is very time consuming. Just want U to know U are appreciated and Thnkx for the hard work.
Thank you. This is probably the nicest comment I've ever gotten. I seriously appreciate it. Hopefully the channel grows and full time is something I/we can pursue. Never know and you're right it's a ton of work but I need to also get more efficient at it.
Hope it works out, lmk what you end up with. I wouldn't put much faith into Cake Eater he's a notorious troll on a lot of these home gym channels. Worry about what's right for you.
Think you covered everything I wanted to know, and what I asked about on Instagram. Thorough video! Now, have to decide if I want to be waving to my confused neighbors as I struggle to push what appears to be an unloaded cart up and down our flat street. It's hard, I swear!
Thanks for the review. Trying to decide… I hope KOT guy reviews this. Either way, will make decision by (or before ) Black Friday. Need to be looking for the belt/harness similar to what KOT uses.
Weight sled is the one thing I miss when I work out at home. The gym I belong to has three astroturf lanes just for doing sled work and that is the best full body workout/cardio ever invented I believe. This would be very tempting except we have a three car garage two vehicles on one side and a Goldwing and yard equipment on the other.
You kids have it easy these days. We used to strap a tractor tire to a pallet. Push it, it's a prowler. Add a tow strap and pull it, it's a sled. Terrible after a rainy day. The wood absorbed the water and would basically fight you to the death before moving. Only downside was tracking load, but we didn't use it for Crossfit, so numbers weren't necessary.
I've been slowly editing it but a lot of the footage is from prototypes or overseas and various places so it's a bit slow. I'm not sure exactly when but I'm working on it.
This does look like a good sled and it seems more budget friendly than others. I wonder if there is some way to create a USB-C adapter for the dangling wires so that the console wires can be plugged into a phone and use the data the sled is producing without requiring the console.
Without hanging out and without the handles sticking out to hold it upright? Haven't seen anyone store it without hanging it but I might just be missing something
Any chance Xebex airplus runner review is in the future? I am debating between assault runner elite and the airplus. I like the airplus concept of magnetic resistance and sled functionality
We have the Bells Motorless and have the review filmed (but it's out of stock atm) but I think after that we'll try the Xebex. We're also going to tour the Assault facility where they make all of theirs.
I’ll try this with some bolted together tires and see if the sled idea (in general) is a helpful addition. Seem like it though, tibialis is a tough one to work otherwise.
I had the torque tank and a titan copy of the dogsled. the titan feels better in everyway, i use it on my driveway (blacktop) and the resistance just cannot compare to the torque sled.
A sled like this is on my short list. I have very little level grass and only 26 foot garage. Would be used in the street/driveway most often and I just don't see a typical sled working well.
It's not going to give the same resistance as a prowler but the Xebex Plus (or retrofitted like this one) gives a pretty good workout. Depends on what you're looking for.
Ive been on the fence with the XT3 and M1 tank for about a year now and the few comparison videos that exist about them don't do much to persuade me either direction. This video on the other hand has tipped the scales in the XT3's favor and its not at the top of my christmas list.
@@ThatKayakingGuy gotcha. If you're using iron plates they'll rub on the frame and ruin the coating. If you don't care it's fine but it's an expensive piece so I don't want my coating gouged up. I always put a bumper plates on first to avoid that.
Gluck, 1 question Hope this is not a silly question but I really need a pros input Can pushing and pulling a sled really increase the 3 main lifts (Bench, squat, Dead)? I need to justify spending this much money on something as this will be a Big purchase for me. Thnkx for all your Help
If you asked Louie and others they'd say yes. I think it does a good job of addressing weak points and things we often don't train but whether or not you can prove it has a direct connection to your numbers would be harder to prove. This with the improved resistance (the plus model) is what I'd go for with a magnetic 3 wheeled sled but if you can use a prowler or ski sled they're a lot cheaper.
Incompetence leads to reward? What is this, Politics 101? Wynie's right by the way. Unless we're talking Barrow, Alaska, or those low hills you're training on are just east of the Shire, you going to tell me she's wrong? I dare you.
looking to get a sled because of kneesovertoesguy. The problem is that doing it on teh sidewalk will defiantly draw the eerie of my neighbor also Chicago weather is not that great for pushing sled outside. I have about 25 feet of space I can use in my basement but that is probably too short for a sled. The new Treadmill from Bells Of Steel might be an option for me. I am just waiting for people to review the Dreadmill.
With its upgraded resistance is the Xebex XT3 the go to sled or would you get something else?
Just bought a torque mx tank, I think it looks better but don’t know if it performs noticeably better.

Thanks very much for the review Brian! Glad you're enjoying our XT3 Plus Sled. Leave a review on our website when you get the chance as well : )
Can you push on the low handle and then immediately go into a backwards sled drag or do you need to turn it around?

I will lyk,
Super cool, I appreciate the detailed breakdown! My mind is churning around how I'd DIY something similar. Thanks for the inspiration!
That would be cool. I'd love to see someone attempt that and who better?
I would love to see my neighbors reaction LOL this thing is a beast!
It's the only time they talk to me 😂
I love my xt3. Get weird looks from the neighbors all the time, but this thing is legit! Great review as always, Gluck!
Thank you! I like it better with the retrofit but glad you enjoy yours!
I get some of that already with my backwards walks 😅

That's why you load it up with plates so you look strong 😂 glad I answered them all and thanks for the support and comments.
The puns were on point in this video! I also want one of these now!
Glad you enjoyed it 😁

About time you teased me with a pic somewhere months ago
hahaha this is very true.
I would love to have one of these types of sleds eventually. They look like a great way to get some cardio and enjoy a nice day. Great review y’all
Cardio and a workout yes, enjoy the day... I don't enjoy much after a few minutes with one 😂
Still waiting for a review of that drink holder over your shoulder 😂. 👍🏼 product placement!

That wink though!
Still as terrible as always 😂
When are you releasing the second half of the Bells of Steel HQ tour video?
I've been slowly editing it but a lot of the footage is from prototypes or overseas and various places so it's a bit slow. I'm not sure exactly when but I'm working on it.

Awesome video, M1 definitely stores upright as well but it's cool to see a direct competitor
Without hanging out and without the handles sticking out to hold it upright? Haven't seen anyone store it without hanging it but I might just be missing something
Enjoyed the video... I've been on the fence on getting this sled or one the Torque sleds.
Hope this helped the decision some.

Thanks Adrian this sled looks cool, I am just afraid of the looks my neighbors would give me!

Reminds of movie how you say...waterman?
Link for the cheap Amazon tote straps?

That's my issue as well though it at least works in my yard but gets sent to the road a lot.
Great review, I wanted to buy one of the Torque ones or this one but I live on a busy main road and have no place to use it.
Yeah without some space it's tough
@@GlucksGym would this not work well on a sidewalk?
I don't see why not. Should work fine.
This sled seems like it's intended for distance and not so much for adding weight. I could be wrong though. Nice review.
It's not going to give the same resistance as a prowler but the Xebex Plus (or retrofitted like this one) gives a pretty good workout. Depends on what you're looking for.
Still waiting on that deadlift platform video
I might've sold that platform to my neighbor... 😬😂
So what you’re saying is we’re gonna be waiting a while
I use my hoopty riding lawnmower.

Without the added resistance I might've leaned toward Torque but I like convenient package of this one. Hope whatever you pick works out for you!
What were you mentioning about being bumper plates or some special coating on other types of plates? Can you provide more detail on that aspect?
Can you tag that part of the video? This was awhile ago

@Gluck's Gym gotcha I don't yet own any plates. So it's just the bottom plate that rubs?
@@ThatKayakingGuy yeah. The others will just stack on top of each other. Any Olympic weight plate would work. You can buy some cheap used if needed.
Do the resistance levels add more feel weight to the weight already put on the sled?
From my understanding the weight doesn’t add resistance at all. They just stop it from slipping.
From the thumbnail, I thought you were having trouble with your lawnmower
Gluck, 1 question
Hope this is not a silly question but I really need a pros input
Can pushing and pulling a sled really increase the 3 main lifts (Bench, squat, Dead)?
I need to justify spending this much money on something as this will be a Big purchase for me.
