Power Sled Backward Push
With the back to the sled and the hands on its low posts behind the hips, sink into a squat and push it backward with short steps.
How to do it
Setup
Back to the sled, hands gripping its posts behind the hips, knees bent, chest up.
Steps
- Step backward, driving the sled with the legs.
- Stay low, the hips close to the posts.
- Keep the steps short and the push steady.
Common mistakes
Pushing with the arms: they only hold the posts; the legs move the sled. Rising tall: keep the hips down in the squat. Rounding the back over the posts: keep the chest up.
Breathing
Steady and strong; never held.
