"This is an introduction to sled
dragging - sled pulling. It is used to enhance all strength sport
training and even help with recovery from injury. Sled dragging
is a great addition to your fitness and exercise routines!"

Sled dragging (pulling) is a
terrific way to accomplish the task of improving physical
conditioning, injury rehabilitation, and cardio training!
A metal dragging sled, with
incremental weight increases and a few basic straps, can transform
your physique and increase your capacity to tolerate hardcore
training.

at the Staley Training Store. |
This metal sled has a small post allowing
you to add weight plates. It can be attached to your lifting belt,
various ropes, or even a small harness -- and the benefits of using
the sled are phenomenal! While sled dragging has become popular
in the powerlifting, strongman, and combat sport areas, many people
are completely unfamiliar with sled dragging and the benefits it
offers. It is one of the most versatile pieces of sports equipment
you can purchase - or even create!
Sled dragging works because it requires
the body to adapt to new ways of exercise. Like the barbell, it
can be used for light repetition work or even heavy intensity work.
If done properly, sled dragging will give you:
- Increased work capacity
- More strength for the weakest
links in your physical chain
- More fun and variety to your workout
- Quicker recovery and healing from
injury
- A new and productive way to work
the entire body in a short period of time
Most advanced sled dragging workouts
rarely last more than fifteen to twenty minutes. They can actually
accomplish an amazing amount of productive work in even less time
than that! The variety of exercises which you can use with sled
dragging can also help increase the amount you can lift in major
exercises such as:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench press
- Leg press
- Rowing movements
- Abdominal exercises
