Now, I don’t go on a inclined streets as much but either option is great.

Love this guys!! Thank you thank you! This will help me get the strength I need to help me take my skateboarding to the next level. Stronger knees and legs means more control and pop. Again, thank you for sharing this knowledge.

[@brianhoward8433]

Badass….knee pain after Covid so I am all in on this !

[@nialloneill5097]

Me too, bad knees. Another similar move is to use small boxes ( I bought mine from Mirafit in UK, and you can buy extra layers, they are primarily sold as aerobic boxes, but one is square, not rectangular, but you could use either, or any step)...or a Step...simply maintain a straight posture, and from a standing position, lower yourself by bending at one knee, as the foot of the other leg goes in front of the box. It takes time to go deep, but it is working in the same way as the sled and the backward walk, although it is more demanding due to the sheer vertical drop. Go slow as lower, which works the eccentric portion of the hams, strengthening those, whilst stretching the quads, but with wt on, which makes a big difference to normal stretches, as you increase your strength in a greater Range of Motion, and so become more athletic and more flexible. Win, win...especially as the agonising pain of many yrs begins to ease.

[@amadeusl]

Started doing backwards sled as a warmup before all workouts. Squat PR went from 425 to 496 in 3 months at 41. This ish works or it’s what haters would call a coincidence because I’m getting younger and have a small child and busy job so that’s probably it lol

[@nialloneill5097]

Giggs was one of a no of Man Utd players in the 90s who started doing backward runs...a lot of them were having both knees and hamstring issues...he did yoga too. I would add the eccentric step down move too, oppsoite of a step up, slow as you go down, gradually increasing the ht.

Encima looks like a monster compared to Ben but he had trouble keeping pace with Ben, impressive, will definitely try this out! I would say also that perhaps diet is a critical factor too: get rid of all seed oils (vegetable oil, canola oil, safflower, etc) which is a hard thing to do because almost all prepared foods have them, especially restaurant food. It is hard to rid the diet of them, but worth it, imho.

[@functionalmovementcoaching9223]

As a Functional Movement Coach the walking backward exercise with weights is a safer way to strengthen the quads than squats. My only objection is this technique is isolating the quads which is why people are feeling the burn. In my opinion, there should be other muscles engaged like your core and posterior chain muscles to assist in pulling the sled and not just your quads.

[@forsenstunlocked5967]

You can do the sled but instead of putting the band around your hips, hold the band in your hands and keep a straight back. I do this sometimes and pull the band close to me with my lats
