sled dragging questions

[b fold the truth]

I don't suggest that sled at all. You could build a much better one yourself...and can add A LOT more weight to a different one. You simply just can't add enough weight to the one from EliteFitnessSystems.

hey b i was only geting the sled for recovery after my workouts. i dont really need much weight to get the blood flowing. i am not gonna be using it for stregnth for now . i will also be riding my bike a few hours a day once the sun starts stayin up and it gets warm. i started a few days ago and my squat felt like nuthing today and it was a 20 pound pr on 5x5 . i have been so lethargic all went i gotta get my gpp up. that is all i need sled for is gpp and the bike will hit the rest of my gpp once i start cutting in 3 weeks for summer.

B, I suppose it works ok for us because we have 100 pound plates.

I use waist and ankle.

Here is one idea. The guy who made this one loaded full kegs onto it. He would run it like a 'medley'. Carry 2 kegs and load them...then drag the sled back.

A guy who has been training with me on Sunday's actually has his brother make some of his eqiupment. He has a sled and is picking up his farmers walk implements tomorrow from him.

You just need a flat piece of steel (I suggest something about 4' long or so) with 2 long pipes coming out of it...to load the plates on.

mine is just a wooden box with an extra piece of 1x6 in the front so it doesn't get caught up in the grass.

i need somebody to sit in it though, cement pieces just aren't enough
