Sled Pulls with Railyard Weight Sled and Fitness Anchor

How to do Sled Pulls

Secure the weight plates or alternative weight onto the Sled with the rope attached to it. Hold the other end of the stretched rope as far from the sled as possible. Face the sled, standing either side of the rope, gripping tightly. You should be bent at the hips and knees with legs well spaced apart for stability. Pull the sled toward you with a hand-over-hand action at speed, until the sled is up close to you and you're out of rope. Notes: The Railyard Weight Sled can be pulled from either side, so you can attached two ropes, one on either side and pull the Sled back and forth with a training partner. Sled Pull Guide The sled pull is a true functional exercise that really exhausts the upper body, focusing on the back, shoulder and biceps, while developing a crushing grip. Essentially, this exercise involves pulling a heavy, weighted sled toward you, that's tied to a rope. The amount of friction you get from the exercise will greatly differ between your sled and surface combo choices. How you train with the sled should depend on your fitness goals. Loading the sled with a minimum amount of weight and training for longer distances will help build endurance and cardiovascular capacity, whereas using heavy weights over shorter bursts will develop strength and power skills.
