Thereโ€™s a reason sled pushes are a staple in athletic training, HYROX prep, and military fitness they demand everything from you. Lower body drive. Core control. Breath under pressure. And the will to keep moving when your legs say stop.

This challenge is simple: complete 100 sled pushes. Whether thatโ€™s 100 lengths of your turf track or 100 individual reps in blocks, youโ€™ll come out stronger mentally and physically.

โ€œYou donโ€™t out-think a sled. You just push. And every rep earns grit.โ€

How to Do It

You can define your format:

  • Distance-Based: Push a sled for 10โ€“15 metres per rep ร— 100 reps
  • Time-Based: Set a timer and hit as many reps as you can until you reach 100
  • Load-Based: Keep the load light for speed, or heavy for strength

Options:

  • Push on artificial turf, outdoor track, or gym sled lane
  • Use a Prowler sled, weighted sled, or tank sled with variable resistance

Beginner: 50โ€“70kg load (including sled)

Intermediate: 90โ€“130kg

Advanced: 150kg+


Why It Works

Sled pushes donโ€™t require eccentric load (no lowering phase), which means theyโ€™re tough without causing the same soreness as lifting. But donโ€™t confuse that with easy. Your quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and lungs will be burning.

Benefits:

  • Builds raw lower-body power and acceleration
  • Enhances anaerobic conditioning
  • Strengthens core and stabilisers under load
  • Safe on joints no impact, no eccentric overload
  • Mental challenge under fatigue

Programming Suggestions

  • 10 sets of 10 reps (or turf lengths)
  • Add to a HYROX-style workout with wall balls, rower, and burpee broad jumps
  • EMOM: 2โ€“3 sled pushes every minute for 10โ€“15 minutes
