How to do it

Load your pushing sled with the desired weight.
Take an athletic posture, leaning into the sled with your arms fully extended, grasping the handles. Push the sled as fast as possible, focusing on extending your hips and knees to strengthen your posterior chain.

Form tips

Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
