Lean into sled ~45°; drive through toes in short powerful steps; hips high.
Muscles
- Primary
- quads
- Supporting
- glutes, calves, abs
Mechanics
- Pattern
- full body
- Equipment
- sled
- Geometry
- Variable Range
- Energy model
- Glycolytic Pathway (10-90s)
- Target feel
- Quad and glute burn without eccentric — uniquely recoverable loading.
- Progression
- Add load; reduce rest; longer distance with same weight.
- Regression
- Unloaded sled sprint; plate push on slick floor.
Watch for
- Standing too upright — reduces horizontal force application
- Short shuffle steps — longer push-off is more powerful
- Not loading appropriately for goal (heavy = strength, light = conditioning)
Substitutions
- Prowler sprint
- Farmer walk
- Assault bike
