Pull Sled
Choose the right weight. Start light when first using a sled to get the technique down. Around 10-20% of your body weight is a good starting point. You can gradually increase the weight as you get stronger.
Use good form. Maintain a tall, upright posture with your chest up and shoulders back. Engage your core and avoid rounding your lower back. Look straight ahead, not down.
Take wide strides.
Drive from the heels. Focus on driving from your heels as you pull the sled back with each step, similar to a deadlift movement pattern.
Maintain tension. Keep tension in the strap, cable, or rope attached to the sled throughout the movement. If you have slack, you lose power and momentum.
