Sled Pull

Set-up

• Attach a rope to the sled and face it, holding the rope with both hands.
• Step back until the rope is tight, feet hip-width apart, knees soft.

How to do it

1. Pull the rope towards you hand over hand, keeping your hips low.
2. Keep pulling until the sled reaches you, or for the prescribed distance.
3. Reset and repeat.

Coaching cues

• Brace your stomach and keep your back flat.
• Drive through your legs as well as pulling with your arms.

Common mistakes

• Rounding the back to pull.
• Standing up straight so the arms do all the work.

Safety

• Clear the space around the sled and keep your feet out of its path.
