Weight Sled's

[HumBug]

hey yall
ive been interested in purchasing myself a weight sled, ive started to get a bit more serious into powerlifting and have heard running/pushing with a weight sled is very beneficial. i only train at home so would be using it to run up and down the drive way. now my question is, is it really worth forking out $200-300 for a sled just to perform 1 exercise? or is it really just not worth it.

cheers

Not really, but I live in a culdesac...so I just drag it out there.

[HumBug]

Had a dude walking a dog stop and stare once. I do it on rest days, been using it to increase sprint speed

My neighbour stops and has a gander when me and the missus drag the sled around. Thinks we're mad! Lol
