Training Tips

  1. 1

    Drive with your lats, not just arms

  2. 2

    Hinge at the hips on every pull

  3. 3

    Maintain a rhythm of 1 pull per second

  4. 4

    Keep slight bend in knees throughout

Common Mistakes

  • Pulling only with arms - use your entire posterior chain

  • Standing too upright - hinge forward at hips

  • Going out too fast - pace for 1000m not 100m

Sample Workout

5 rounds: 200m SkiErg + 10 kettlebell swings. Rest 60s between rounds.

Equipment
