PROGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Heavier reverse sled drag

These steps are written specifically for the Heavier reverse sled drag. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Heavier reverse sled drag. Add only enough load to preserve the same range, tempo, and position as the easier version.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Walk backward with short steps, placing the forefoot first and letting each knee bend.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Straighten each knee as you move the sled, but do not snap or lock the joint at the finish. Finish every knee without snapping it.

Sets: 4–8 · Distance: 20–40 metres

Heavier reverse sled drag is a progression of Reverse Sled Drag. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

Each backward step finishes with the knee extending as the quads shorten. The sled keeps tension continuous and makes load easy to scale.
