I trained with it yesterday for the first time, and what a work-out I got from it. I combined it with kettle-bells, and pulled the sled with weights at the same time. I did the following routine carrying two 16kg kettle-bells and the sled weighed in at 25kg. The length of each pull was around 40 metres x 19 by the time I got through all the exercises. And a 45 minute period.
I must say the heart-rate was
well and truly elevated, and it worked my core (to the core!) solidly.
It will be interesting to see the result over time... Especially how it helps explosive power...
1. Forward / backward drag & farmer walk
2. Forward / backward drag & rack walk
3. Forward drag & Overhead walk
4. Forward drag & cross carry
5. Forward / backward drag & 1 arm farmer walk
6. Forward / backward drag & 1 arm rack walk
7. Forward / backward drag & 1 arm overhead walk
Cheers, BBB

Very interesting... you sound like a machine! But I think you need to show us video or at least photos of these movements - what is a farmer walk, rack walk etc?

Well not sure about the machine bit, but here is a farmers walk, great for strength and endurance, and just add a sled and pull it behind you as you do the farmers walk.
The other exercises were variations of the farmers walk, for example the overhead is just that, hold the weights above your head and drag the sled. Fantastic work-out and I’m sure it has application for Triathletes, especially for muscular endurance.

Baz,
OMG I do not reckon I could carry 2 x 16kg kettle-bells for that length of time little own lugging some heavy darn sled behind me. Good work. Yeah I reckon you need to setup a video and show us all what it all looks like. Anyway enjoy it and do keep telling us about it even if you do not get to video it.

Well actually up at
Newcastle thisweekend and will be doing some of this training, so might be able to orgainise the video.
Mind you, this is like 30/40 metre walk up, and back, with a 1 minute rest before going again... But great workout..
