About three or four years ago I was working at a gym that during the day the basketball court was a ghost town. So a buddy gorilla glued some smooth carpet on the bottom of my sled and I started having some fun!
Since we moved all the gyms I've been at ... People play basketball on the courts.. So no sled love.
At our new place we have a good sized area for sled work outside- so dusted off the cobwebs and got out the sled. At first, I was concerned, that I'd need to carry a bunch of weights in & out to accommodate the sled. Turns out.. Didn't have that problem. Now its been 3 or so years, so I am older and out of practice. I really only worked with the sled for less than a year(so not a lot of experience). But good gawd, it feels tougher than I remember! Not different by a small margin, very significant.
The thinker in me says, "Well, that makes sense it is harder outside. In the gymnasium the hardwood floor and carpet you have less friction & you are not literally digging a rut into the ground."
The Neanderthal in me says, "Pull, the weight. PULL!"
My wife says, "Maybe your not as strong as you use to be."
(She's my personal motivator)
Anyone else had this experience?
