Sled Push
- Intermediate
- Hybrid race
- Functional
- Gym
The sled push loads the sled by gripping the poles with straight arms and leaning the body low over them. Driving through the balls of the feet with strong steps trains the quads, glutes and calves as one forward push. Intermediate lifters use it for distance in the gym, hybrid races or functional training, usually as a finisher.

How to
- Grip the poles with your arms extended, body in a low lean.
- Drive through the balls of your feet with strong steps.
- Keep your back flat and core tight.
- Push at a steady, powerful pace for the full distance.
Form cues
- Keep your back flat from your head to your hips.
- Drive off the balls of your feet, not your heels.
- Breathe out sharply with each strong step.
Common mistakes
- Hips pike up, breaking the lean. Keep your hips level with your shoulders.
- Steps land flat on the heels. Push off the balls of your feet each step.
- Pace fades halfway through the distance. Hold one steady pace for the whole distance.
