Nellers Nov 2023 1:04pm, 30 Nov 2023 41,635 posts	Quote Pin Nellers Ah, I hadn’t spotted that. Still, I think I need to do some sled and wall balls before we line up.
Maclennane Nov 2023 1:34pm, 30 Nov 2023 31,670 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane I've got to read up more on the sled, looked like there was the option to walk it back, at least a little at a time, which would make it substantially easier than just arms and twisting

Foppotee Dec 2023 4:36pm, 6 Dec 2023 36 posts	Quote Pin Foppotee I am also in for Hyrox. Pro race. I'd struggle with the normal race sled push so god knows how I am going to shift the 200kgs. I am praying that the sled in my gym suffers from more friction than the race sleds!
Maclennane Dec 2023 4:51pm, 6 Dec 2023 31,706 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane I really want to try different sleds out, I'm eighteen stone and I reckon fairly strong, and I don't think I could move the sled in my gym at 200kg, in fact I'm too embarrassed to try
Foppotee Dec 2023 5:17pm, 6 Dec 2023 37 posts	Quote Pin Foppotee I am only 12 stone and not a compact stocky 12 stone either! The advice I was given was to train with a bit more than race weight. That would mean I could train at home though as I may as well just push against the house wall.

Maclennane Dec 2023 10:49am, 14 Dec 2023 31,722 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane Deadlift again this morning, and the grip seems to be an issue, but it seems to me that my forearms don't get a lot of rest (stop sniggering at the back) - is lifting straps a sensible option?
