Dog Sled

Dog Sleg - trained like a sled dog

"Push, pull, push" instead of "snatch, push, clean" is what it means when training with the massive Dog Sled. For a long time disappeared from the public eye, the weight sled celebrates a terrific comeback in professional sports as well as in CrossFit boxes. No wonder that NFL professionals, Bobsleighers, the Nati and a number of strength athletes put on the Dog Sled, because the training is simple but at the same time enormously intense.

 

Intensive full-body workout with the simplest means

Those who train with the weight sled get an intensive full body workout from the shoulder over the core to the calf. In contrast to many free-weight exercises, the big advantage of sled training is that the body is trained as a functional unit. This not only promotes inter- and intramuscular coordination, but also stimulates small accessory muscles, which are hardly activated during classical training.

 

Ideal training device for high-speed sports

Whether in general CrossFit training, in functional training, as a supplement to the classical strength training or targeted promotion of specific performance. Thanks to its versatility, the Dog Sled is an enormously effective but unfortunately often underestimated training device. Especially as a link between strength and technical training the sled training is of great importance in a number of high-speed strength sports.

 

Sprint faster thanks to Dog Sled

In the year 2000 an interesting article with the title "Mechanical Basis of Human Running Speed" appeared in the magazine Applied Physiology. The sports science study behind this proves that faster running speeds are achieved by a higher floor pressure. Among other sled training elevates precisely this ability that makes it particularly interesting for sprinters of all kinds.

 

Our weight sled - flexible, versatile, easy to handle

The massive Dog Sled weighs a good 37 kilograms and with a size of 100 x 60 x 97 cm offers enough space for sufficient training ballast. Thanks to the standardized 51 mm disc mount, all standard discs with 51 mm perforations can be easily accommodated on the slide. In addition, the Dog Sled has mounting options for the included, high-quality harness.

Our weight sled, which has been tested in CrossFit as well as in many other sports, also features extra-long sliding handles that allow for both a low and a high posture for the maximum training effect when pushing. Also practical: the sliding handles can be mounted in seconds on the other side of the Dog Sled. Change of direction is thus possible without the laborious turning of the weight slide.
