Bailey Adjustable Weight Sled

Sled training is a relatively new idea to athletic training, but it has very old origins. Sled training traces its roots back to Scandinavian loggers who spent their days dragging cut trees out of the forests, and developed exceptionally strong backs and legs as a result.

Today, weight sleds such as Bailey Manufacturing's Adjustable Weight Sled are used by athletes to bring their workouts to a whole new level. Weight sleds can be dragged, pulled, or pushed, making them highly versatile equipment, and they can also be used with weights added for extra difficulty.

One of the biggest benefits of training with a weight sled is the lack of eccentric loading. Eccentric loading refers to the lengthening of a muscle while it is under load - for example, the lengthening of the bicep muscle when lowering a dumbbell. Eccentric loading puts a lot of tension on the muscles, which causes post-workout soreness and can even lead to injuries. Because sled training mimics the motions of everyday work, it doesn't lead to eccentric loading of the muscles, making it a safer type of workout. However, sled training still provides the difficulty and strength improvements of more high-impact workouts.

The Adjustable Weight Sled is designed to allow addition of weights for an extra powerful workout. Its anti-friction runners provide smoother movements and allow use on a variety of different surfaces. This versatile exercise equipment is ideal for conditioning, evaluating, and work hardening, especially for industrial rehab programs.
