Sled Push
Pure horizontal force production with almost no eccentric load — conditioning and leg drive without the soreness.
- 01Set the sled with a load you can move continuously but not easily.
- 02Grip the uprights with arms long, body angled forward like a sprint lean.
- 03Drive one leg at a time, extending the hip fully on every step.
- 04Keep the torso braced and the hips low — push the ground back, not the sled up.
- 01Long arms, low hips, full hip extension every step.
- 02Short, aggressive steps beat long reaching ones.
- 03Breathe on a rhythm — this is conditioning, not a one-rep max.
- 01Hips rising so it becomes an upper-body push.
- 02Loading it so heavy the steps become stuttering shuffles.
- 03Bending the arms and losing the body angle.
Note: Reference material, not a prescription. Load, volume and whether this movement suits you at all depends on your assessment — if something hurts, stop and get it looked at.
