Sled Push Workout
The Sled Push challenges athletes with a test of lower body strength, endurance, and power. This station requires pushing a weighted sled over a specific distance, demanding high levels of force and stamina.

-
Both sled and athlete must be completely behind the line prior to starting.
-
The sled must always pass 12.5 m mark (end of lane) entirely before change of direction
-
As soon as the athlete completed 4x 12.5 m and the entire sled passes the line the station is complete.
-
If the athlete completes less than four lanes, a penalty of 3 minutes per missing lane will be awarded.
- Distance 4 x 12.5 m (unless penalties are assessed)
