The Adjustable Weight Sled is a multifunctional tool designed for work hardening, exercise, and rehabilitation. It can be pushed, pulled, or dragged across various workout routines that strengthen and condition the body without overstraining muscles or causing injury. This sled includes four detachable weight holders for adjustable resistance, and an optional Accessory Box is available for purchase separately.
Sled training, while a relatively new concept in athletic training, has deep historical roots. It originated with Scandinavian loggers who dragged felled trees from forests, developing remarkable strength in their backs and legs.
Nowadays, athletes use weight sleds like Bailey Manufacturing's Adjustable Weight Sled to elevate their training. These sleds are adaptable, allowing for dragging, pulling, or pushing exercises, and can be intensified by adding weights.
A major advantage of sled training is the absence of eccentric loading, which is the muscle extension under load, such as when lowering a dumbbell. This can cause muscle tension, post-workout soreness, and even injuries. Sled training, simulating everyday labor, avoids eccentric muscle loading, offering a safer workout option while still enhancing strength like high-impact exercises.
The Adjustable Weight Sled is crafted for adding weights to intensify workouts. Its anti-friction runners ensure smooth operation on diverse surfaces, making it an excellent piece of equipment for conditioning, evaluation, and work hardening, particularly in industrial rehabilitation programs.
