If you want to build lower body strength while keeping your joints healthy, you need to be incorporating SLED DRAGS into your workouts!

I LOVE sled drags because almost anyone can do them safely and effectively.

Whether we’re talking gen pop clients who want to move and feel better or elite athletes trying to push the envelope of their performance, virtually everyone I coach will sled drag at some point in their program.

Now without boring you to death, there are 3 BIG  reasons I love sled drags:

1. There’s no eccentric or lowering phase, so it minimizes soreness
2. It’s not super technical like a squat or deadlift. You can literally load a sled up and start dragging on Day 1, and
3. They’re incredibly joint-friendly. Even people that suffer from knee, back or hip issues can often drag a sled completely pain-free.

Today we’re going to cover three primary variations – forward, backward, and lateral – but then give you several variations of each so you pick and choose which ones you like the best.

Now let’s get in the gym and start dragging these sleds!

Next time you’re in the gym, take some time to play around and give these a shot.

I guarantee you’ll find a few that you love!

All the best,
MR
