About This Program

One of the most functional and cost effective pieces of equipment a gym can have is a sled. As an athlete, maintaining and exceeding the GPP level needed to compete in your sport is essential if you want to improve sport performance. At Westside we drag the sled for lower body training, and press or do tricep extensions for upper body training.

The intention of this program is to get the most out of your specialty bars and sleds. By utilizing squat variations, coupled with sled work designed to enhance GPP levels, the Squats & Sleds program aims to increase absolute strength, strength endurance, and overall work capacity for both the upper and lower body.
