Sled Drag (Forward) — quadriceps compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Sled Drag (Forward)

Compound · Weight × reps · Time

Connect a harness or waist belt to the sled with a secure strap and clear the lane ahead. Avoid wrapping a loose strap around your hands or using an attachment that presses across the neck. Longer, lighter drags suit sustained work, while heavier loads shorten the stride; change one variable at a time and account for large differences in surface friction.

HOW TO DO SLED DRAG (FORWARD)

  1. Walk forward until the strap is taut, then lean slightly from the ankles and drive with steady, purposeful steps.
  2. Keep your torso braced, hips level, and feet pointing in your chosen direction rather than letting the sled twist you.
