So I’m interested in getting a sled for cardio yet have few questions. One is where do I buy a good sled? I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find weightlifting sleds.
Also what kind of routines do you do with them like do you go heavy or light? Also wondering if like running is using sled catabolic? Or does it actually help with muscle growth also?
i found that to buy a sled would have cost my as much as my first car-too much, so i built my own, an old kids snow sled (plastic) with weights simply put on it with me draggin it alond by the existing rope, there are loads of sites showin you how to make ur own- davedraper.com eg
sleds i found were good for cardio and biulding big quads and hams dependin which way you walk with it
i have both a sled and a prowler from elitefts.com… i use then both but the prowler is better (b/c u can drag, pull AND push) prowler sprints are extremely challanging. take a look at it, let me know what you think I can give you a few good routines if you need it

Yes, I also have the elitefts sled. I shopped around and it seemed to be the best price. I considered buying the prowler…my mouth waters whenever I see it but decided I did not want to pay the extra $$$.

Thanks for this suggestion I’m looking into buying a prowler very soon once I get paid, I’ll try and send you a PM once I get one or you can just reply hear and give me an idea on some routines.
When you buy the prowler does it come with the sled straps?
Just get a car/light truck tire, cut out part of the top of tire, place a piece of plywood in the tire, loop a piece of chain/rope around the tire with a hook on the end. drag away. I just made one from crap I had laying around.
yeah…I would say you should get a prowler for conditioning…check Joe DeFranco’s page for ideas.
