How to do a sled push

3 steps
  1. Set your hands on the uprights at roughly chest height for a heavy sled, or lower for a lighter, faster one.
  2. Get your body into a long diagonal line, arms straight, hips low, head neutral.
  3. Drive through the floor with short, aggressive steps and keep the sled moving.

What counts as a rep

Movement standard
  • The sled must cross the marked distance. There is no position standard beyond that in most workouts.
  • Hands stay on the sled for the whole working distance where a workout specifies contact.

Common faults

2 faults

Standing too upright, which turns the push into a fight against the sled rather than a drive through it.

FixDrop your hips and lengthen the line from heel to head. The angle is the whole movement.

Long strides, which give the sled time to stop between steps.

FixTake short, fast steps. A heavy sled costs far more to restart than to keep moving.
