Backward Sled Drag

01 / Set up

Build the position.

1. Connect the strap at the declared height and stand facing away from the sled with the lane behind you clear.
2. Choose a surface and resistance that allow short backward steps without crossing the lane edge or losing the strap path.

02 / Execute

Do the work.

1. Brace gently, keep the strap tensioned, and step backward one foot at a time while looking toward the clear endpoint.
2. Maintain a repeatable torso and foot position instead of leaning harder to force the sled to move.
3. Stop at the marked endpoint, lower tension before turning, and walk the sled back through the open return route.

03 / Troubleshoot

Common ways it drifts.

• Backing into furniture, another person, or an unverified drop
• Letting the strap cross the ankles or pull the trunk into a loss of balance
• Using resistance that prevents a controlled stop before the endpoint
