Sled Push
Brutal simplicity — leg drive and lungs, with zero technique tax and zero soreness penalty.
Legs, Glutes, ConditioningSledBeginner
Setup
- Hands on the poles, arms locked or bent — pick one and keep it.
- Lean into it: body makes one straight diagonal line.
How To Do It
- Drive one leg at a time, pushing the ground BACK.
- Short powerful steps, hips low.
- Go 15–30 meters; rest; repeat.
Breathing
Breathe rhythmically — it will get loud. That's normal.
Common Mistakes
- Standing too upright — the lean is the leverage.
- Tiny choppy steps with no drive — push the earth, don't tap it.
Coach Sam's cue: Move the planet backward one step at a time.
