150kg Sled Pulls 🔥
One of my go-to exercises for managing patellofemoral pain (PFPS) and building knee capacity.
Why?
✅ High quadriceps demand with relatively low patellofemoral joint stress
✅ Improves load tolerance through progressive overload
✅ Allows athletes to maintain strength and conditioning while symptoms settle
✅ Low-impact alternative to running, jumping and change of direction work
✅ Effective bridge between rehabilitation and return to performance
For PFPS, the goal isn’t to avoid loading the knee it’s to load it appropriately. Sled pulls allow us to challenge the quads and build resilience without exposing the knee to the higher forces seen in many traditional training.
