Compound · Weight × reps · Time

Attach straps securely to the sled and clear the path behind you. Maintain steady tension rather than jerking the sled or leaning so far back that you lose balance. Check behind you frequently or use a spotter on a busy lane. Reduce load before shortening the stride excessively; surface friction can make the same sled feel very different between sessions.
