Exercise Description

The high pull sled drag builds explosive shoulder power and upper back strength. It combines pulling strength with full-body stability for real functional power.

How To

1. Attach rope or handles to sled and load with appropriate weight 2. Stand facing the sled, grab handles with both hands at chest height 3. Pull the sled toward you with explosive high pull motion, leading with elbows 4. Take steps backward while maintaining tension, reset for next high pull sled drag rep 5. Complete reps with controlled movement, focus on powerful pulls each time

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire high pull sled drag movement • Pull with your elbows leading, not just your hands • Maintain straight back and avoid leaning too far backward • Use explosive power on the pull, controlled movement on the reset

Common Mistakes

• Pulling with arms only instead of engaging shoulders and back in high pull sled drag • Leaning too far back and losing balance during the movement • Using momentum instead of controlled strength for each high pull sled drag rep
