Technique

How to perform Sled Drag

Load the sled and choose one complete setup: a torso harness, hand-held sled straps, or sled straps attached to a weight belt.
Connect the selected setup to the sled and stand facing away from it, so the sled will follow behind you.
Take up the tether slack, incline your body slightly forward and keep your trunk steady.
Walk forward with controlled steps, driving through the hips, knees and ankles while maintaining tension on the sled.
Keep the selected attachment in position; hand-held straps are a tether, not a repeated arm-row exercise.
Finish the distance and stop under control. Use the separate Backward Drag exercise for backward travel.
