Instructions
- Attach dual handles to a sled connected by a rope or chain. Load the sled to an appropriate weight. Face the sled, backing up until there is some tension in the line.
- With a handle in each hand, bend the knees slightly, keep your head and chest up, and begin with your arms extended.
- To initiate the movement, flex the elbow as you retract your shoulder blades, pulling the sled towards you.
- Take a step or two back to get tension in the line and repeat.
