Sled Pulls for Speed
2009 May 22
Precision Nutrition posted a great article about sled pulling for speed training. The article also references a study that concluded for the participants, that 10% of body weight yields the most benefit.
Love the Rocky training montage.
PN also let’s you know that 10% won’t be the best for everyone, so there is a simple test that you can perform to find the perfect weight. Check out the article here.
The is good potential for a team to do a relay scenario similar to this video at Cressey performance.
If you live somewhere with hills, try that first… was re-reading Gray Cook’s _Athletic Body in Balance_ and he def. suggests sled pulls, but only if you don’t have hills around.
