Load weight plates onto the sled's central posts on a flat turf or rubber surface. Stand behind the sled with feet shoulder-width apart, gripping the high handles firmly while leaning forward at a 45-degree angle with a neutral spine.
Inhale during preparation, brace core and exhale forcefully during each drive to maintain stability.
2-0-1
Push from full hip and knee extension back to partial flexion per step, covering 10-40 meters without losing neutral spine.
Spotting not typically needed; assist by adding/removing weight or guiding sled on turns if space limited.
