Perfect Sled Pull Technique
The sled pull develops posterior chain strength, improves conditioning, and builds functional pulling power. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper body mechanics and efficient movement patterns.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup Position: Face the sled with straps or rope in hands, body in athletic stance
- Body Position: Maintain upright torso with slight forward lean, core engaged
- Initiate Pull: Drive through heels and pull with arms while stepping backward
- Movement Pattern: Keep pulling motion smooth and controlled throughout
- Foot Placement: Take deliberate steps backward maintaining balance
- Continuous Motion: Maintain steady rhythm without stopping until target distance
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaning too far back and losing balance
- Using only arms instead of full body engagement
- Taking steps that are too small or too large
- Allowing core to relax during the movement
- Jerky pulling motions instead of smooth rhythm
