I’ve been doing it for about a month and I definitely feel a difference in my leg/low back strength, and stability. I’ve had chronic lower back issues for years and I think this (along with other leg workouts) is really helping. I like how you can target different areas of your legs depending on what type of variation you’re doing, pulling, pushing, hells to ground or heels off the ground..I love it.

I have been doing sled pushes 5 days a week for 6 months. 18- 21 laps. Takes me 30 minutes. When I'm tired I pull for a lap. Also I push the tire ( low crawl) 4- 6 laps. Best workout ever. ( endless ropes are great for upper body. I never use tred or elliptical. I'm 55 female. Men have raced me for fun and they quit after 5 or 6 laps.

Had to stop squatting and deadlifting since a career ending pelvis injury. I tried pushing a sled yesterday and it felt really good. I liked pushing it slow and steady feeling the squeeze. Not even with a ton of plates. I'm excited to get into the world of sleds. It blew my mind after one mini workout of 4×25yards. Havent even tried pulling yet.

Been working with TankM4 for the past 6 months at 24HFitness. Have a AstroTurf track approx 20 yards long. After hitting all 3 gears , upper posture 1/2 way, lower bar final 1/2, add 2 plates per lap up to 14 pates for final lap. Great cardiovascular and strength training exercise. Safe as long as you pay attention. Also, wear golf shoes, soccer shoes when plates added to grip the AstroTurf.

Most sports are concentric focused, think swimming, cycling, running etc, the muscle work under load concentrically to propell you forward but have little to no resistance on the concentric its just the opposing muslce under concentric load

i do rounds, ~20mtrs a min X30 , so its about 25seconds on 35seconds rest, its viscous cardio. I do one where I increase the weight and rest time so its near my max wieght and can feel it the next day in the calves. Must be great for the feet, secret is to stay on your toes, dont flat foot it or its too heavy. Next month I plan to half the weight and reduce the time from 30min and aim for 20min

You can do a legit full body workout by just pushing and pulling a sled. With a bit of rope and some angle manipulation, there isn't a muscle you can't overload for strength and hypertrophy or tone down for endurance training, and it's so convenient to swap between them. You can do isometric stuff with nothing but a wall, and switch to concentric/eccentric and plyometric very quickly. Sleds have to be the most versatile tool in the gym. I made a program for myself tailored to the specific equipment I have, but I'd really like to make a custom sled with several options for pushing and pulling movements. It would be nice to jump into a full body workout every now and then without following a strict set/rep scheme. Just put weight on a sled and bust ass without thinking about it.

You can build more muscle with a sled than squats or leg presses if done right, thing is due to the way you use you legs while walking, there is no way to your dominate side to take over the excercise and also its alot more functional as in its a movement your would more likely do in day to day activity like work etc, it's great for building muscle and functional strength, also it hits the whole leg and not just the quads or hamstrings like squat too

@@tamamalosi "dumb ass" look it up... I have degree in sports science, I know what periodization is, but that doesn't answer the question... Sled pushes, are they in the workouts or not? If so which workout level? It's a completely different type of exercise to squats or deadlifts, how are they incorporated into a traditional weight training program? It they are not included and they are "incredible" why not? Which exercise do you have in its place? Or you can just say periodization and feel smart but look dumb... You can't sell multiple level training programs which you want people to progressively follow and then rely on periodization, that would imply that I don't follow the plans, but rather do one plan and then periodically change the exercises myself and not buy the next plan... So which is it? Periodically change up exercises or buy the next plan?
