Overhead Sled Pull

Overhead Sled Pull Instructions

• Attach a double-handle to a sled with a connected rope or chain.
• Holding the handles while facing the sled, step backwards slightly until there is no slack in the rope/chain.
• Stand in a strong, athletic posture:
• Chest up and shoulders back.
• Knees slightly flexed.
• Core braced with a neutral spine.
• To get into the starting position, extend your arms overhead.
• Imagine bringing your armpits forward to create a stable shoulder position. 
• The rope/chain should be taunt.
• Begin by walking backwards as you maintain a stable overhead position and braced core. 

*Tips*

• This is a controlled movement performed deliberately. Don't take big steps. You want short, controlled movement. 
• There should not be excessive torso lean.
• Do not let your low back arch excessively.
