How to: Power Sled Drag
- Attach the sled to a harness or use a grip handle.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
- Push through your heels to drag the sled forward while maintaining a straight back.
- Keep pulling until you reach the desired distance.
- Rest and repeat for the desired number of sets.
Common Mistakes
- Leaning too far forward, which can strain the lower back.
- Not keeping tension in the core throughout the movement.
- Dragging with arms instead of using legs.
Modifications
- Reduce sled weight for beginners.
- Perform the exercise on a softer surface to reduce impact.
Tips
- Maintain an upright posture while dragging the sled.
- Use your legs to power through the movement, not just your upper body.
- Start with a lighter weight until comfortable with technique.
