Forward Pulls

Forward walking while pulling any weighted object is a very challenging exercise.

This method of conditioning works the entire body with emphasis of the posterior chain.

Dragging heavy objects uphill bumps up the level of intensity.

Pulling odd objects, in the snow, in sub freezing temperatures at elevations in excess of 8,400 ft. becomes far more demanding than any sled exercise.

In this picture I'm illustrating such an exercise which is part of my interval winter conditioning program. This is a method of strength conditioning which prepares me for snowshoe racing and winter biathlons.

Distance, incline, altitude and the number of repeats is based solely on your level of physical conditioning.

Start pulling and develop the strength of a bull.
