Mine is a little different that Max's above. I put an eye bolt in the tire so I don't have to wrap the chain around. Anyways, I got my chain from Home Depot and the handles from ebay for around $10. If you go with the eye bold, you can use tow straps with looped ends so you don't need handles (like shown in my other videos) - Joe

thx a lot...just what i was searching for, soo simple and yet i didnt thnk of it!

[@synergyfitnessteam1]

@MikeEves1 thanks for checking it out!

@jhashey I made on as well with an eye bolt...and two cheap dog leases from Wal-mart...cheaper than the chain then having to buy the handles. As long as you get dog leashes for large dogs..unless you're putting a stupid amount of weight on that tire, they will work just fine.

[@MikeEves]

Excellent and hardly costs anything.

[@ceeb40]

You could use a weight belt clipped around the chain to wear around your waist for weighted sprints too.

@cgc Great call on the dog leashes - never seen that before. I've tried deer harnesses, but they broke on day one. I'll have to look into that - thanks for sharing and checking it out!

[@synergyfitnessteam1]

@theboxer037 sometimes. In a video earlier I explained the method of using an eye bolt. that does not leave a mark! Thanks Joe

[@synergyfitnessteam1]

Good suggestion!

[@cgc]

@jhashey yeah, as long as you don't pick up "rat dog" leashes and they have good clasps you should be solid. On a side note - I like the tire sleds better than the metal ones also for the fact that the rubber creates more friction making it harder to pull.

[@coachjaxon]

Awesome...that's some tight work!!!

[@terminalcitytraining]

The simplest plan yet!

[@TheVindicatedOne]

do you have any ideas for a good homemade shoulder harness? thanks

[@theboxer037]

does the chain mark the floor?

[@synergyfitnessteam1]

@fattymattie360 Agreed, thanks! I put method that out in a seperate video - "sled recovery techniques." I got it from a friend and it works wonders (plus doesn't eat up your chain) Thanks for posting it!

[@coachiminime]

coach where do you get the chains with the handles?

[@111701hc]

[@jsmiagi007]
