Torque Tank M1 Sled SUCKS

[@duchaneaux]

A cheaper push/pull sled option: buy a Yooper Scooper (snow scoop shovel) and put as much weight as you can in it -- plates, sandbags, etc. -- and push/pull it across your lawn. If you get a metal one and you're handy with a welder, try DIY it by adding 2" sleeve for weights or perhaps create your own that's a bigger scoop for more sandbags and weight. If anybody lives in the upper Midwest, then they probably know about the Yooper Scoopers. It makes snow shoveling a lot easier since you're scooping big sections of snow at a time and sliding it off somewhere since sliding all that weight on snow makes it easy for an old woman to shovel her driveway without breaking her back. But it's still a workout. Using it on the grass lawn in the summer will add more friction of course, and with weight included, will make a great sled workout without tearing up your lawn like every sled or prowler does, and will cost significantly cheaper.

Thats cool man... Sounds like you have alot of time on your hands... for people like me that work two jobs to make the extra money will just buy the damn Torque M1 Sled and enjoy its features.

[@silasgroenning]

I wonder how it will work to carry it up to an apartment.. does the handles fit carrying it up and down stairs? Its suppose to be wall mountable, so id assume that carrying it around is something designers had in mind? Thanks for video

[@AnX0256]

Alot of cheap skates on here are suggesting to use something else as a sled like a tire or snow shovel or some crap but its not the same 🙄

[@moredatesmorefiber3526]

Yes it is

[@AnX0256]

@moredatesmorefiber3526 riiiight... cuz those objects also have a built in mechanism with a lever that can toggle between neutral and three other levels of resistance. Oh and those same object also provide noise reduction when dragging right?

[@bmj5346]

A tire with a rope does work just fine. Our old crossfit box used tires with a piece of fence in the tire to put plates on. Works great for pulls and drags. You don’t get the push but it does give you great resistance and does the job. The M1 is a great piece of kit but there are things you can do till you can afford it.

[@erich9779]

​@@AnX0256the point is you're getting the same workout without breaking your wallet. Tell me the difference between the M1 and a tire in which muscle group it targets. Both are same.

[@AnX0256]

@@erich9779 Right... nvr said it doesnt work the same muscles... but you cant adjust the intensity like you can with the Tank. Im arguing specific features that cant be accomplished as well with other devices without those features. Soooo stop being a cheap ass and cash out for quality.

[@g.berwald5312]

it does not suck. but you could also use a sandbag or old tire to do that. even more cheaper

[@terrencego4562]

The only advantage of the wheeled sleds is that it's relatively quiet. Sometimes that's very valueable though, cuz your neighbors won't complain about u training

[@SettleNow]

I have this and also a tire. The tire is good for pulling but not pushing. Also, as others have noted, this is very quiet. And variable resistance. With this you can push against very heavy resistance. If you try to run pulling the tire on pavement it will bounce.

I was reading reviwes on rogue about the tank 3 wheeler. Customer said wheel in front got messed up because she was not adding weight. Torque Fitness told rogue that she needs to add 133lbs of weigjt so she won't have thoese probles.. I was going to get one for the reasony of not messing with plates. But it turns out i still need to add weigjt plates to it🙄 Well, that defers the purpose of buying these type of sleds. Lol I rather to have a rwgular sled with thoese skids plates under. What's the advantage of these over regular sled since both need to be loaded with plates???

[@moredatesmorefiber3526]

this sled SUCKS

[@futbol1972]

How do I incorporate a sled into my trainning? I am a very fit 50 year old who does fully body workouts (lifting) m,w and f. On t and th I do 20 min of hitt. Battle rope, kettle bell, rogue airdyne bike, and much more stuff. I have two buldging disk in lower back and a bad knee. Knee is fine as long as I don't do too much plyometrics. Fir my back I bought a trap bar.

[@frits8649]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCwYa2oqqyKmKM he mentions a few mins in that he uses the sled as a warmup every workout. Forward and backwards. But watch video he explains

[@AUSTIN-ss2zd]

watch kneesovertoesguys videos on back and knees if you want to reverse ur pain then you'll find time for sledding as it helps with plantar fascitis

[@gugy68]

What about pulling a sandbag? That’s the cheapest option I can find besides walking backwards uphill.

[@carterclonts5110]

Honestly that would work but you run the risk of ripping the bag. I got the rouge slice sled and it was $190 without shipping and it’s amazing

[@g.berwald5312]

yes. just anything heavy... a truck tire is also a good option

[@gugy68]

My final contraption was a Titan sled for $90 and three 50lbs sandbags at Home Depot for $10. Perfect and way cheaper than a Tank M1.

[@Sovnarkom]

use large tires … get a bolt installed and tape dumbells or sand bags on there for weight

[@alexcaughell3718]

wait, did I miss something? Does it suck or you like it? My gym has the bigger version. love it

[@prodson8310]

Yeah WTF

[@Luke-ih1oc]

I think he means “sucks” as in “this is a good workout”

[@samsonlevulevu2566]

Is it waterproof?

[@mmayojr]

Lol the price has only went up. This thing is over $900 now.

[@bb-zq3tl]

I use a regular sled on pavement. Why do you say the tank is not as good as a regular sled?

[@dimplezdimples8451]

Noise!!

[@David-hy9ni]

Thanks bro!

[@danielmoses9146]

Thanks for the review. Can you please point me to the actual Spud Inc strap and belt on their website??

[@TheDowntownToronto]

I was gonna ask the same question. Did you have any luck finding the exact straps? thanks

Hey Ben, love the video but where can we get the belt and strap that you used with the M1 tank?

I want build own not pay $1000 I saw video of guy taking fly wheels and manual tensioners off 2 free spin bikes then outing on a weight sled and adding 4 dolly wheels .

[@lepurchaun92]

Can you post the link? I was thinking of doing something similar

[@CharlesWolfeSkate]

@@lepurchaun92 I need to do this!

[@CharlesWolfeSkate]

Any info on how to do it?

[@mattmacdonald1201]

I love that that’s what you got out of this video lol

[@JoeTaber]

Well it's positive overall, but it was slipping while he was pulling it. Maybe some weights on the front of it...

[@daveborders7312]

Yes add a weight on the pin and it keeps the front wheel down and resistance steady
