- Knees Over Toes Guy, Ben Patrick, raved about sled work so much....I bought one. And it's WAY cooler than I could have hoped!
I got it from these guys who were crazy helpful: www.mt3fitness...

More sled stuff in my "day of Hyrox training" video up in a few days - for now though, thought I'd explain why I have one rather than just roll it out the garage in the next video without explanation 🤣
Looking forward to seeing your current burpee broad jump form….
Are you still working out with the Torque sled
@@RogueCylon yep, use it all the time
@@MarkLewisfitness thanks Mark, shopping for my one big addition for 2023.
"The giant that lives next door is using his lawn mower on the tarmac. Looks like a bit of a struggle to be honest..."
He's given up and got his Mrs to do it ...
Just want to say you have been a huge inspiration in my effort to get fit. Down from 280 to 199. I had my first race last month and was above average, in the top 1/3, and I have my first Olympic triathlon in 45 days! Keep up the good work, love the channel!
Good stuff - thats some serious weight loss!
Well done! That’s a new life right there!!
Hello Mark, thanks for all the great content. Sounds like you’ve started the knees over toes guys training programme - would be good to get your thoughts on that at some point, particularly whether you’ve found it worthwhile.
The issue @ 12:55 can be also helped by using a doubled up, short but thick, resistance band( I use the SHORT MONSTER MINI RESISTANCE BAND) between the rope hook and the sled. This makes it so if you pull too aggressively the band stretches but if you pull slow and consistently the sled moves. You don't have to worry about the front popping up or skipping. Thanks for making the video!
3:20 push the car to the gym and back, job done!
I love the initial thoughts: "If you don't have enough time, it's expensive and you don't need it." 🤣🤣🤣
It’s a Monday - some people are busy 😂
@@MarkLewisfitness 😆
But expensive things that you don't need are the best.
@@AndrewShakespeare Agreed
Im actually a bit stunned over how much i enjoy a video about strength training. I've always been a skinny run and bike guy - and a happy one too. I think that says something about the quality of the content you upload, Mark. Good job, and good luck with the training.
I always love it when someone with no specific interest in the topic still enjoys it :)))))) It's why I make my kids proof watch the stuff - if they like it, anyone will!
This was hilarious 😂 also a great review tho. My first of your videos to watch, instant subscriber
We have sleds at my gym, i may have to start using them. Mainly my knees have some damage from a few accidents, thus I generally avoid lunges and squats and do weighted step ups instead. This seems to be a useful addition that I might be able to do sans pain. Also Nixon should be sitting on the sled, after all don't you owe him a few good pushes around the neighborhood after all the training he does with you. Good stuff.
Go find Ben Patrick on TH-cam - the guy had terrible knees and now, with sled use included, is dunking basketballs!
@@MarkLewisfitness Thats the Kneesovertoes guy or is there another Ben Patrick?
@@leovanduyn2699 That is the same guy. Kneesovertoesguy = Ben Patrick.
i’m doing my first 10k this sunday because of you! Goal just finish its haha thanks for the inspiration.
Your neighbours must be thinking "how have they not noticed their kid fell off that thing ages ago?" looks like a great bit of kit, another to add to the "when I win the lottery" list.
Surely the only negative thing about the sled (well, except the price) is what your neighbours must think. When you said you took it around the block... the neighbours and any other cars must think you are a bit mad!
I’ve long since given up caring-joys of being old 😂
Great vid as always. I will not be buying this thing but still a very enjoyable review.
Have your neighbours phoned the authorities yet?
Hey Mark, I currently run and cycle with some strength exercises thrown in (lunges, squats, press ups and pull ups etc).
I was wondering with your knowledge if you could breakdown what you think are some key exercises anyone could or should add to there weekly workout to give a good full body level of fitness.
I was thinking of exercises which didn't require too much upfront cost, thanks!
I would be glad offering you to push-start my car every morning. All for free, no equipment needed other than a car with a dead battery and a sense of community contribution 🤣, however watch out once the engine started, helpers get suffocated by the sudden release of the exhaust fumes while gasping for air🤣. Joke aside, I like your videos ! keep posting Mark, many Cheers !
So....the British Pound or "GBP"/Great British Pound....currency converter = $1.25 American dollar as of 5-4-22. There's no conceivable way...that non-pros can afford to buy this machine. This guy can....because..well,...he's a pro...and his lovely girlfriend could be a 'spokeswoman' for this machine with those shapely thighs, etc.
We "low-level" people can't. Especially with tiny $50K paychecks.....let alone poor folks.
So how does the resistance on both the pushing and pulling compare to the weights in Hyrox?
I can't wait for a video showing your long drive to the North where you'll pick up the next greatest training tool - "The Caber."
love this tank!
I do jujitsu 3x a week at 6qm and same days at 7pm i lift.
I just got a rhino belt squat since i have 2 low back buldging disk i also have a bad knee. Anyways how would iincorporate this in my workouts? Xould i use it on my recovery/off days?
I already have rogue ayrdine bike, sledge hammer, battle ropes, inertia ropes, kb, punching bags, sandbag etc..do i really need this sled? On my off days i like to do some type of conditioning to increse my jujitsu endurance. Theybare selling me one for $600 in my home town
I'm disappointed. I had expected so much more from you.
'say hello to my little friend's could have been more in the correct tempo.
For such an 80s movie fan...
:D
Just kidding.
Or not ...
I’ve been walking backwards uphill after the knees over toes guy episode on rogan Definitely makes a difference but I’d love to see how a month with one of these feels. Especially given both your enthusiasm for it
I built myself a sled to drag with a tire,some wood, a couple of D thinghy to attach a rope to it and a pipe.. better than nothing and it doesn’t cost 1k plus euros
The side of the sled says "All Surface SLED". This is 1000% false. It will not work, I repeat, will not work at all on any surface except asphalt or concrete. The front tire does nothing but slide and lose resistance on non paved surfaces. Adding weight doesn't help because the only place to add weight it at the rear of the sled which doesn't stop the front tire from skidding. Forget pulling. Front tire slides on all surfaces.
I have been using my car as a sled.. Three clicks of the handbrake does the trick for just enough resistance. Just make sure your on level ground😉
I got the MX. showed my wife the cost, and she only cared that I paid cash for it.
reverse the front bracket holder? then you can put the bracket right next to the ground or at least closer?
Ohhhhhh - i like it!
Why not use a Hand Truck for heavy weights (sandbags) that we can find at a hardware store like Home Depot!?
It's a must have fancy luxury and I love the hell out of mine and get a great workout on any terrain ☺️
They have now designed an updated front bar to be able to put dumbbells on the front to weigh down the front tire better.
is a home gym with about 8 meters length enough for this thing? Or is it annoying to go back and forth over that length?
Hi Mark, looks like an interesting piece of kit for rope pulling try attaching the rope to the back handle this would provide more down force 👍
Another great video Mark. Looks a good piece of kit and it’s interesting to hear you are a fan of the knee over toes guy. I have been using some of his exercises to help with injury prevention. As Ross Edgley would say you have got to bulletproof your body! I can see you are taking this Hyrox competition seriously. You may have to change your strap line to Way Above Average!😂 Keep up the good work.
I also love Sebastians wife
What are your thoughts on the m4? Ignoring the price 😅
Bear crawls front and pack then walking plank sideways
Hi Mark. I’ve read complaints about the M1 tires wearing out quickly. What have you experienced? Thanks!
Mine are fine. I do run very low pressure to give a lot of contact areas and almost never any slip.
Love these videos!
I'm 51 and have done a lot of cycling, skiing and football...and as a result have the flexibility of a door and its now becoming a problem. Add to that I'm creeping towards 95kg at 6'1" which isn't good. Been inspired by your transformation, humour and passion.
Winter is approaching now in NZ and I'm going to get set up on Zwift etc. Due to the piss poor supply chain here, I need to think creatively about some of your more specialised equipment.
If you're over here, I'm buying you a pint!
95 kg and 6'1". Is it impetrics or metrials ?? 😆
Snowshuffeling simulator :P
Exactly what I thought when I saw the video. Both pushing and pulling with a lot of weight included with the snow scoop.
Instead of driving, push your car. You'll have a fantastic workout (but also a traffic jam.) In hard mode, put varying sizes of brick on the brake, or change hand brake positions, or maybe put in gear (5th or 6th the easiest 1st the hardest). Ideally have someone in the car in case you come to a downhill.
Hey Mark, does the M1 work well for mainly walking backwards, I'm also following Ben Patrick. I've read some reviews that the M1 is not ideal for walking backwards.
Sponsored by Morrisons Delivery?
We only realised there was a driver in the van when we were packing up - God knows what he thought we were doing.
Hi Mark, my came in and I’m 98% sure I set it up properly but did you have to adjust the chain at the bottom at all?
I was reading reviwes on rogue about the tank 3 wheeler. Customer said wheel in front got messed up because she was not adding weight. Torque Fitness told rogue that she needs to add 133lbs of weigjt so she won't have thoese probles..
I was going to get one for the reasony of not messing with plates. But it turns out i still need to add weigjt plates to it🙄
Well, that defers the purpose of buying these type of sleds. Lol
I rather to have a rwgular sled with thoese skids plates under.
What's the advantage of these over regular sled since both need to be loaded with plates???
Never load mine with anything
How do I incorporate a sled into my trainning? I am a very fit 50 year old who does fully body workouts (lifting) m,w and f. On t and th I do 20 min of hitt. Battle rope, kettle bell, rogue airdyne bike, and much more stuff. I have two buldging disk in lower back and a bad knee. Knee is fine as long as I don't do too much plyometrics. Fir my back I bought a trap bar.
This is probably the dumbest comment ever but I want to say I hit the dislike button by accident bc my fingers are too fat. Haha. Great review. Thanks.
Any thoughts about the m1 versus the m4?
Finally pulled the triger and ordered it to Norway. I had to pay 1617 GBP (Sic!) or 1935 USD to get it into Norway with no extras. But by the gods its worth it compared to letting my knees and legs beeing week.
Like this Post, I have been doing Knees over Toes for 5 months in Darwin Australia, Using bag and 40kg of weights on lawn. Ended up looking and buying Tank in Australia for $2000 delivery included
Thanks! You inspired me to give Mark (MT3Fitness) a call for a tank; I also have a knee injury which plagues me ; stops me from enjoying my ballroom dancesport
BEST VIDEO ABOUT TANK M1 on TH-cam hands down !!!! Detailed and informative.
Needed to comment as a busy-person taking a momentary brain-break at my desk - thank you for the 7 second review at the beginning. I will be purchasing, thank you!
Had a thought for you.. “Smolov training for bench” have read.. and there’s an app.. enjoying the videos.. 👊🏻
@ Mark Lewis .. . Insane .. Insane .. Workout .. Also .. How many miles do you run aday ?? .. I’m trying to lose weight ..
There must be cheaper alternatives, mirafit do a sled for £180 just need something that allows you to push it. Any ideas??
That intro is GOLD!
Buying something expensive and than youre wife finds out... Been there!! Haha. Good video, I would love to have theTank M1, expansive indeed.
Great description and review. This is about $850 in the US, not bad really. I already have a c2 rower (bought around 12 years ago, not used that much anymore b/c I greatly prefer outside type things). I later got a used Elliptigo 8 speed, that is fun and a great workout. So this is just another niche type outside workout device, I like that it doesn't appear to need much maintenance other than occasional air in the tires. If my wife would use it and not think it insane, I would get one of these. Moderate weekly pushing and pulling with this will keep a person firm on their feet well into their 80s and beyond.
Having just signed up for a Hyrox, I've come back to this as I don't know how I'll train for the sled push/pull. Bit expensive for a one off event though! 🤣
Mark, this was the video I was looking for before pulling the trigger on the sled. Thanks so much for the review.
Great work Mark. Your willingness to spend absurd amounts of money on fitness gadgets is astonishing. BUT, this is one that I'd get too. I've built mine out of plywood, stair risers, 4x4's, logs and a tow strap. My wife hates it, because it's tearing up the back yard, but I love it. If you try the bear crawl, I'd love to see that.
Very good and informative review, especially the last bit about pulling and weight placement. Cheers
Forgiveness is easier to ask for than permission………….the only mantra any man needs when buying expensive items in advance of “negotiations” with your other half! Great video, it’s convincing me I need one!
Sleds are sensational...the other big proponent of them is Louie Simmons...different purposes but both have great results...I made a tire sled to take around my block which is great for pulling but not for pushing...I used it when I got back into running but was having trouble with calves...long distance pulling at desired HR was amazing for aerobic base...the lack eccentric makes them beautiful to do everyday...
Why can you not use it in the rain?
Great content mate just started watching your channel...
Could I tow this to my local park using my bicycle? I could hitch the side w/ one wheel up and let it free wheel on the two. Then I could sled at my local park. Way more fun.
Why dont you push your car around instead? Same thing really and your storage sorted straight away. If you need more resistance get someone to sit in it and lightly apply the brakes.😁😉
This is funny as hell
I can see you using this sled around the neighbourhood being very painfull for your children. Shiiiit even "mom" is doing it.
Mark, have you tried watching the Bioneer on youtube. Some good knowledge on there, worth a visit.
Well, just see my remark on the fenix 7 for 30 days, if you use it almost every day it is cheap according to price / time use equivalent. Perhaps according to that scale, your bed must be the most expensive training device 😃🧐
Hi Mark, did you ever think of doing backward walking up stairs with weights, a much cheaper option than buying a thousand pound sled!
Great review, Mark! I fell in love with the Torque Tank recently at a local recreation center. I definitely have the M1 on my wish list for my home gym and driveway.
Must have, if you want to build Quads when you have cranked knees. And it is a lot of fun. I have have already use it in this rainy Sunday in Germany 💪
Found you channel couple days ago and now I'm addicted to you. Little suggestion, if you can post unedited GoPro foorage of a full marathon , long indoor ride and etc, that'd be really helpful. (at least as an unlisted video.)
I looked at this and the larger one Ben Patrick highlighted. In the end I purchased the Rogue Dog Sled with all attachments, price with them is approx the same. Its not as flexible as the one you bought, as in yours is wheeled, can be used on more varied surfaces, but the resistance it offers peaks, lighter than I wanted. I purposefully wear my Vibrams when using it, both pushing and pulling, they give perfect flexion and drive straight through my toes, ankles, etc:0 ) So good Call Mark, Sledding is the way forwards...
Damn, I saw that same podcast and thought about sledding. Such a decent bit of kit but the price and storage make it a big no. Very cool though, if I hit it up with the lotto, it's top of the list.
I'd love to hear more about how your program is going from Ben Patrick.
Hey Mark, I recently started with a trainer and we so sled pushes and pulls in the gym and he suggests I go straight arm out in front of my head, and get really low. Might be impossible with your height but thought it might be worth trying a new technique?
Love the content, big fan, can’t help but notice that you push with arms bent , just thought does it burn the arms / biceps out or is it likely to burn out over the competition if you are going to be doing it for perlonged periods of time / distance.
The first 18 seconds perfectly captures my life!
Click bait video “can I get my tank thru a Burger King drive thru”
This was such a good review, so well thought out, well presented and super genuine (with great humour as always). Love your work Mark!
Great review! I've yet to work on a sled. However, I started walking backwards up hill, as Ben suggests. It's the best quad pump ever!
Good video 🎉!
You could push it up a mountain (on no resistance mode) and then on the way down, you can sit on it and control your speed.
I'm rather surprised by gyms around you not having a sled. in Denmark, at least around the north side of Copenhagen it seems like it's a must have for any gym now, as in I haven't been to one in my area or near my work place in the last few years that didn't have one.
Check out a guy called julien pineau for rope pull and sandbag carry
I can’t wait until I can justify this purchase. Excellent review, hitting the important notes. Thanks again.
My training equipment budget is more Rocky to your Ivan
Ivan lost 😂
@@MarkLewisfitness I didn't say I had the will of Rocky just the budget
Wow you have read my mind lol I'm going crazy ringing every gym in my area to see if they have a sled.
Hi Mark, excellent review! Can this be stored standing up in a garage for example?
Yes, absolutely. You can even buy a wall hanger for it.
@@MarkLewisfitness Thanks! If a person wanted to also pull the sled from the same side as the push handles (using a rope attached to a dip belt) so as to not have to turn the device around, do you think it would be doable without the front wheel coming up off the ground?
This is a great watch, Mark. Entertaining and informative. Thanks
The cynic in me says the price will come down.....
Has it improved your cycling ?
Watching you on the thread mill at the start makes me think a flat treadmill with resistance and the same bars as the sled in front would be great piece of gym equipment.
You wouldn't need an open space to use it and you don't have to worry about weighing it down for traction.
Great video. I would love a sled but the fancy one is outside of my budget. Guess I'll have to make the basic one for my wife's boxing gym and use it there.
Great review - very thorough and useful.
Thanks for the video Mark!
This is an item that is absolutely "on my list" when I move next year. Just can't justify the space it would take up at the moment. Great review! Love working with sleds that are plate loaded on turf when I have used them in the past, but this is clearly a better option for more all-around usability with the magnetic resistance.
Plate loaded are brilliant but just so damn noisy on concrete!
@@MarkLewisfitness agree I have a foldaway Rogue one, even with the plastic skis it still makes noise. I'm conscious of the noise with my neighbour's. Annoying because sled work is great. Especially with our height. 👍👍
“You had me at, ‘called the tank.’” 🤣🤣
