Many strength athletes have been doing this for decades. The fact that many gyms caught on and now have sleds has made it more accessible. Sure KOT guy has highlighted the benefits and is further increasing the popularity of these, which is great and hopefully sleds will become more widespread as a result. The important contribution of KOT guy for me has been the emphasis on backwards pulling for knee resilience

The style of this video is so vigorous

Thanks for the video. Felt some pain around my patellar tendons and think it's because I was trying to put too much weight into the heels instead of driving with the toes

Great! Sled everyday!!!

Can you do a video on how you would integrate sled push/pulls into a program like Stronglifts 5x5? I want to improve my cardio and ankle mobility but have a tendancy to want to go too heavy on the weight.

I call this "Leg day made easy" 🔥

​@paulblake1164 so in a area like the one in this video, how many times would you say you'd go back and forth for your warmup?

I like to keep an arms locked/head down position to work my overhead stability / while maintaining core & leg drive at same time.

NEVER do it head down. You're going to screw up your neck. You want a straight line all the way down your spine so your back and shoulders properly absorb the counter-force.

@@Frankthegb If you are low and arms are locked head down would be keeping your neck neutral. If you look up it would be like looking up while doing bent over rows. Can you explain more what you mean?

You can accomplish that by doing overhead barbell squats instead. Also snatches, clean and jerk, or simply walking with kettlebells held overhead. I would not push a sled with my head down.

hi dr.horschig,can you please tell me how to prevent achilles injury（eg. Achilles tear） when doing sled push? thank you

Curious why you wouldn’t use the full foot when pushing with the sled (I.e. going heal to toe) to engage the posterior chain more & hinge at the hips easier for your forward drive? Seems like when I do it this way I get better recruitment through the entirety of my legs on quads, calves, ankles, feet, hips & glutes.

Heel first causes you to essentially put on the breaks each step. Sprinters drive off the ball of the foot because it's the most efficient for high force transfer, same thing for the sled

With the sledge drag is the aim to build up the weight and go slow or go moderate on the weight and go moderate speed to get sweaty? Primarily I do this for knee rehab to get blood into the knees.

Sled and farmer carry’s is all u need … after that u can do some core workouts and ur been well rounded ❤

My fav split is push pull sled

@squatuniversity can this be combined with the man maker exercise? If I had to choose between man makers and the sled, which would be a better choice?

Resourceful info. Overall good video! 🫡

How important is the harness? Does pulling from the handles have the same benefits, is there anything else to keep in mind besides keeping the core braced when pulling from the handle?

@ShirtsAreRare

It will be impossible to pull from the handles because the sled will run into your feet. I use one of those belts for weighted exercises and you can get those for very cheep ($20 or so). Plus they're multi purpose so a good tool to have anyway. I actually got mine for weighted pullups and dips before I knew of this exercise. Your gym should probably have any type of strap. If not I can't imagine that being too expensive either.

The gym I go to has the Rogue Echo Dogsled which has enough clearance for the toes to go under the sled with full leg extension while using the vertical handles.

should we maintain foot contact under our center of gravity, or slightly behind? It looks like under your center of gravity. Just making sure.

Ok, what is up with the toe dragging on the fake grass/carpet. That seems like a very strange almost handicapped sort of thing to do. It seems to be mostly on the left leg. Is that on purpose?

Which is better with tires or without tires ?

seems like running and pushing this as hard as you can might replicate the benefits of a sprint (at least some what)

Is this optimal for somebody with knee problems?

What are you wearing for the pull?

If Im recovering from a L5 S1 can I do this?

I shredded my toes on the turf when bare foot

I do this fairly easy with 440kg on it and fully braked, i love it!!

This is one of my favorite exercises at the gym. Good to see more bare feet 😉

Might consider stealing some bloke's wheelbarrow and make due with that lol

These guys clearly train leg. Look at their quads

You should seriously never be driving with bent arms unless you can lock your shoulders right against the sled. You're going to do serious damage to your elbows in the long run.

Be careful not to do it too much I bruised my big toe stiff as a board lol

Sleds don’t have wheels.

Sorry my dude. I know you catch a lot of flak. But you're really swinging a miss here with that pushing upright posture. You never loaded a sled heavy enough if you think that's gonna fly. That upright posture is only going to work up to a point. You helped Licis. Go talk to him.

@LockOn95

The point is if you can’t have upright posture you aren’t ready for heavier weight. This isn’t a swing and a miss, they’re incorporating proper posture with an exercise like any other.

@@LockOn95 you missed the point. Being lower is proper posture for a heavy sled push. Draw yourself a freebody diagram and it will become obvious. For the type of pull Aaron was doing, I won't comment because I've never seen it, but often you're also holding a rope infront of you, so you should also be low when doing that.
