PULLING A SLED
we use a piece of steel about 1/4 inch thick , its wide enough and long enough to place 45 pound plates on top and the front edge is turned up all the way across to prevent it from digging into the grass or gravel . there is also 1 hole drilled in each front corner to attach a short length of chain . there is a small metal rod welded in the center to stack the plates over and hold them on the sled .
we use a piece of nylon strap to connect the chain on the sled and to go through our weight belt . we typically pull 30-50 yard laps but that varies sometimes . sometimes a fairly light weight is pulled for a specific time length for cardio and other times a plate is added each lap until you cant pull it anymore . this excercise can tear your hams/glutes/calves/quads up if done corectly . dont be afraid to experiment , pull sideways,backwards,etc. .
