Just got this at my gym! It was stacked 315! And I did 6 reps! A lot first time! Two days later the soreness was amazing! This, deadlifts and overheads are fun workouts 😃
I did this the first time 160 kg, I'm a big guy and legday is for me everyday, use this as a finisher and you'll have to wait 1 hour before you can drive, walk
You know I learned kickboxing from this interior decorator once, he killed 16 Czechoslovakians and didn’t even flinch. His house looked like shit though….
If you are poor and workout with a partner, get a sub compact car in neutral on a flat driveway or road with your partner in the driver seat with car on in neutral (power steering if needed) and windows down for communication. My brother and I had an old diesel Mercedes we drove to school in high school. Every late fall, winter and early spring we had to roll start it. We would push start it all the time. We could push the sled at football practice in circles around the other kids (push so hard it turns and overpowers players on the opposite side.).
@@laurencedioscorides6551 I think what he means that most people have a car in their driveway even if they are not well off. So push that up an incline hill somewhere.
Thank you for this vid I was doing this all wrong. I saw the sled in my gym thought to try it I put a weight on it and ran while pushing ❌so you add weights and push slowly, got it 👍🏽
I started doing sled push/pull today... Tired me the hell out, and legs are like jelly... Man I'm dying. Anyway they are now a permanent part of my leg day
Is there a reason you grab high instead of lower? I'd imagine there's better horizontal force grabbing it lower. I'm doing sled to build explosiveness. Is a high grab still ideal in that case?
How to incorporate sled in my lifting routine or should I use sled only on tje day I do hitt/functional trainning? I do not do any barbell squats do to bulding disk on lower back. I do landmine belt squats now but I heard prowler are good to build legs?? Iam not an athlete anymore, iam a 50 year old fit male. I do full body lifting workouts 3x a week m,w and f...and on Tuesday I rest or do LISS workout and on THURSDAY I do 30 min HITT/functional trainning workouts with kettlebells, sandbags, sledg hammers, etc....
I've been trying to push 1000 lbs on the sled but my gyms turf is made of multiple pieces and pulls on the turf . And the sled gets stuck? Anyway I can keep it from pulling on the turf?
Yes. I have the same issues with my L3 completely gone. Yoga to open up the spine should also be done on the regular. Most exercises they give us are from yoga. See a professional to develop a program for you.
I think someone can touch his full foot to the ground is to drop his ankle after the hip is throughly extended. It doesn't provide any benefit but harms. Also, not letting the ankle drop helps increase ankle stiffness.
Do hangs everyday, my shoulders were killing me about a year ago until I started doing dead hangs. The more you do it, eventually your shoulders will be more flexible and strong to do exercises like these (sled weights)
I've seen people put 45lbs. Plates directly on a turf/carper floor. Just like he said keep your butt down. If you don't have a turf/carpet floor, but have access to basketball wood floor, put a towel down, then the plate on top of the towel. Then you're gonna push it across the gym floor. & Yes you can stack the weights. Just don't push so fast they slide off one another & you go flying forward. Go slow. Hope this helps.
Anyone else's toes slipping when doing sled pushes on turf? Specifically when pushing with the lower handle. IDK if I need to use different shoes or what.
@Eyre Borne when you run your heels should drop . if you dont do that its going to tighten up your calves !!! its not giving you full range of motion of your ankles
I have heard that when using a sled to avoid driving through your heels as it can damage your achilles tendon (but i'm still unsure if that is only for front pulling?). It would be helpful if someone could really explain these basic but important details in these videos!
The way he pushes the sledge here the first time is not really recommended. It is better to have the arms bent, close to the body, and the upperbody not so parallel to the ground. You're wasting too much energy this way and partially losing the training effect. I recommend the video from squat university, where it is also shown better. The funny thing is that you show a different technique in the thumbnail, which more effective.
I would like to critique this by stating there should be no break in his hips. From head to ankle, the body should be a straight line. If you are breaking at the hips, then you should probably be grabbing the bars higher up.
There is always one person that wants to make everything more difficult. His form is absolutely safe and fine. Put weight on, push it, and when stuffed stop.
Thats a really nice facility.
Just got this at my gym! It was stacked 315! And I did 6 reps! A lot first time! Two days later the soreness was amazing! This, deadlifts and overheads are fun workouts 😃
It's really good that you emphasize pushing with the hips. I messed my knees up not using proper techniques.
started doing these and working out is now fun again. thanks for this!!!
Thanks for the video we just got one of these in my local gym and I wasnt sure if I should be on my toes or flat of the feet ..toes it is then 😄
I did this the first time 160 kg, I'm a big guy and legday is for me everyday, use this as a finisher and you'll have to wait 1 hour before you can drive, walk
same experience. legs are noodles after a few minutes of heavy sled push/pulls
Man listen lol
FACTSSSSSSS I COULDN’T WALK AFTER
Yeah when I was super skinny I started out with 160kg. Now 220 kg is nice comfortable weight for 3 sets 🤙🏻 Killer workout for sure.
@@Darkshine369how long loading
The hardest part of this exercise is taking the weights off
It is easier if you put a smaller plate (0.5,1,2kg..) between the big weight
@@Vision-sb4yq Jesus Christ, you deserve a medal, you just solved my problem 😂
Also a good tip for those that have iron in their gym is to have the lip part facing upwards.
Just put some kettlebells on it
@@alvanlebrutski5136 horribly low iq, my estimation is around 85
Thanks for the quick vid with key points highlighted, gonna try these for the first time today really excited.
The best excersise along with deadlift
I just started doing these, I have sciatica and this works great!
I did this with about 70 kg on the sled x 40 lengths of the gym. The hardest part of the workout was crawling home afterwards :)
Used this for kickboxing training. Amazing for your conditioning
You know I learned kickboxing from this interior decorator once, he killed 16 Czechoslovakians and didn’t even flinch.
His house looked like shit though….
@@moeali7368 lold
nobody talking about the lady in the background with high kicks
Right off the bat, outta the park! Killing it fellas. Very cool!

if you are poor....get a car lmao
Sir I think a car is definitely not cheaper than this thing

I'm new to sled workouts and this is REALLY going to help me! 💪🏾This is just what I needed. Thank you for sharing!

So glad! Thanks Jonathan!
@@MindPumpTV responding on a 5 year old video, wow!
Same, did it for the first time today and slow and controlled is rough!!!
These are a game changer for sure. Hidden weapon.
For sure. Totally underrated tool
Thank you for this vid I was doing this all wrong. I saw the sled in my gym thought to try it I put a weight on it and ran while pushing ❌so you add weights and push slowly, got it 👍🏽
You can definitely run while pushing
@@giselo06train calf muscles and cadio at the same time
Run + pushing is good for explosive power. Slow and heavier is good for muscle gain
Great tutorial video!
I did this exercise for the first time in a gym here in London yesterday - this video shows I was using wrong form - my back wasn't straight enough.
Good video on how it’s supposed to be done
It does the job. Excellent product.
I started doing sled push/pull today... Tired me the hell out, and legs are like jelly... Man I'm dying. Anyway they are now a permanent part of my leg day
I do this exercise at work everyday lol. Good to know I am doing it right...though I am only pushing crates 1.5 x my body weight.
I straight out love this thing

Oh snap! This is my gym!
Cut this gym into 100 parts and we have the gym I go to
🙄Good stuff.....🔥🔥🔥best workout-- my favorite💪💪💪. I love that you pull it backwards too. thats how I train 💥💥

Can you use the sled in dirt, I don't have grass, and or wheels
How many calories we burn doing this? I weigh 105kg/ 232lbs , my trainer made me do 25mts rep (4) with 150kg on sled. 2 reps and rest and 2 reps.
I've been trying to push 1000 lbs on the sled but my gyms turf is made of multiple pieces and pulls on the turf . And the sled gets stuck? Anyway I can keep it from pulling on the turf?
Find different place to do it like outside maybe
@@hopex9729 idk if they would let them
Maybe try looking into those things you slide under furniture to move around easier? Just put it under the sled before adding weight.
1000 lbs? That’s insane man I’d love to see that I struggle to do 200+
At 54 years of age, I get a great strength workout with the sled each time from removing the 200kg that the last person left on it.
How many times do you push the sled back n forth?
4 sets of both sides of sledge with a medium pace like the guy in the video.
Does this workout your core as well?
everything does
I'm 73kg hard gainer about to get into sled work what is a ideal weight to start with
Straight or bent arms? Or both?
Furst time I used the sledge lastweek at the gym I'm 17 stone I stated with 100 lb then finished on 2401lb with my trainer I struggled at the end
love the sled for conditioning
I have lower back issues (Degenerative disc) are these safe exercises?
Yes. I have the same issues with my L3 completely gone. Yoga to open up the spine should also be done on the regular.
Most exercises they give us are from yoga. See a professional to develop a program for you.
For me it hits every part of my body my abs are showing more since I started using it.
Can we use our full foot when taking steps? Would that cause any injuries?
I think someone can touch his full foot to the ground is to drop his ankle after the hip is throughly extended. It doesn't provide any benefit but harms. Also, not letting the ankle drop helps increase ankle stiffness.
The comments are making me want to try it out
I always do this the last 10 mins of my workout.. push and pull
I got a bad rotator cuff. This position hurts a lot while pushing. Any variations for bad shoulders?
Do hangs everyday, my shoulders were killing me about a year ago until I started doing dead hangs. The more you do it, eventually your shoulders will be more flexible and strong to do exercises like these (sled weights)
Does the weight even matter? Like the sled at my gym is on wheels and has torque levels (1 2 3), and like the weight does add but not that much tbh.
Well yes it does matter. Try pushing a semi truck vs a sedan
If someone did not have access to a sled, are there Any alternative you can provide?
dynamic mode on woodway treadmills!
Step 1: Get access to a gym where they have sleds.
I've seen people put 45lbs. Plates directly on a turf/carper floor. Just like he said keep your butt down. If you don't have a turf/carpet floor, but have access to basketball wood floor, put a towel down, then the plate on top of the towel.

Renejime use a human that is resisting you, like football
Push a car
What happens by this workout
Coach is making me so this cause I'm failing 🤣
Just an edit my ass got kicked out for skipping practice
@@maxwellancheta1567 not everyone can be a winner in life
It’s a good punishment. I want one at home haha
yo wtf that’s the same gym i go to lol
Whenever I perform this excerise, I feel like passing out with nausea.
Anyone else's toes slipping when doing sled pushes on turf? Specifically when pushing with the lower handle. IDK if I need to use different shoes or what.
Probably your shoes. Nothing should be slipping while pushing.
Been doing heavy prowlers for months and my glutes became fat as hell
More significant in my view if you push and pull for something like one hour, far better for you, and far more real world!
Bros back is massive
Why do you walk on your tows and not your flat feet?
Should he not be pushing through his heels?
@Eyre Borne when you run your heels should drop . if you dont do that its going to tighten up your calves !!! its not giving you full range of motion of your ankles
I have heard that when using a sled to avoid driving through your heels as it can damage your achilles tendon (but i'm still unsure if that is only for front pulling?). It would be helpful if someone could really explain these basic but important details in these videos!
@@riversma Try pushing a sled which you can barely move. That will give you the answer which creates more force and is more natural for your body
Pushing a car will also give you a good workout..
And save petrol!
push s sled
Just starting using one, it’s enjoyably Hard.com

boys is it good for a 15 year to be ablt to push 175kg on a sled???
No, it’s actually quite weak.
I would like to critique this by stating there should be no break in his hips. From head to ankle, the body should be a straight line. If you are breaking at the hips, then you should probably be grabbing the bars higher up.
@Mikeenlighten me as to why? He would have more force with proper alignment.
@Joe If you want to push as much weight as possible then this technique is useless.
how are you supposed to walk without movement at the hips?
There is always one person that wants to make everything more difficult. His form is absolutely safe and fine. Put weight on, push it, and when stuffed stop.

We love it!

Those glutes are beautifullllll lol
Wish you showed the wrong way to do it
