Forward Drag with Press

What it is

This dynamic exercise combines a weighted sled drag with a powerful forward press. You will primarily target your chest, while also engaging your shoulders and triceps during the pressing motion. Your glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps provide the propulsion to move forward against the resistance. This compound movement builds strength and endurance across your entire body.

Technique tips

• Keep your core engaged throughout the entire movement.
• Focus on fully extending your arms with each press.
• Drive through your heels to generate power for the drag.
• Maintain a steady, controlled pace between presses.
• Coordinate your forward steps with the pressing action.
• Exhale as you press forward against the resistance.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
