SELEWAREWeight Sled Workout Sled Fitness Strength Training Sled Speed Training Sled for Athletic Exercise and Speed Improvement Suitable for 1" and 2" Weight Plates

This sled can use the old styled, small hole weights or the new style big hole weights. Our high school, boys and teammates enjoy competing pulling it behind them. It has increased their speed and their ability to get quicker starts and it’s easy to attach to get into and it pulls really well on grass or dirt.

When I buy something made of steel, I am going to look at the welds. I do not want to see skips, holes, pieces of MIG wire sticking out, etc... I want to see an even bead that is deep enough to fuse the metal. I want to see evidence that the metal was hot enough to weld when the welding started and, ideally, whatever I am looking at, has zero butt welds in any tubbing. I am assuming that no one that makes anything out of steel would ship something that was distorted by the welding or the preheat --trust me, cold metal is much harder to weld effectively even when you can keep the weld hot enough to penetrate the full thickness of the material and fuse with the other part, I cannot begin to imagine the skill needed to weld the Alaska pipeline in the cold, however, I know enough to look at the sled. If you want to "see" a weld that has been painted over, run your fingernail up and down and you will feel the weave in the weld, you will feel your nail almost as if you could hear the sound; discontinuities will feel like a wrong note with a tuba. The welds that hold the sides of the deck to the runners are beautiful welds that fuse two dissimilar thicknesses of metal without a single burn through. When I look at it again, the deck isn't that thin so it might not be that dissimilar to the thickness of the wall of the runners. Oddly, the welds that join the front of the deck to the runners were not as good as the ones that join the back of the deck to the runners, nothing really wrong except that these seem likely to have been welded by a human being rather than a computer controlled welder. The crossbar IS a butt weld but the shaping at the end should help a lot with the stress and it isn't like that crossbar has to handle the pull anyway --I do not recommend that anyone test the crossbar by attaching their harness or straps to it. The actual site designed for the connection is at the tip of the runners and, at first, I thought that it was just pressed in, however, a closer look revealed a tiny bead which I was really only able to see because of what looks like the first weld was discontinuous, nothing that might ever matter, just enough that I could see a bead. I wondered if I was seeing things but I could see 400 lbs in powerlifting plates on this sled and I can't imagine something press fitted withstanding the kind of force required to pull that kind of weight around. Having said that, I will say that the greatest value of that weld for most people will be the ability to tell a story about something nearly unbelievable. I know what I saw, I have no idea how it was done, and I am still having doubts about what I saw!In any case, Seleware makes a great sled to pull down the street and I am going to enjoy it for years to come. Thus far, it is stable even with light weights and any sled makes a racket going down the street, the question is how many times you are able to go down the street and, with this sled, I do not see an end to my quest to transform into a Clydesdale. I will be 80 and people will think I am a total loon for pulling a sled with weights on it...maybe not, the world is changing and wellness is becoming more important to people every day so maybe, not. One can hope; the sled will still be there with me regardless. If you have never pulled a sled, it is a blast and it is great for your posture and, unlike a backpack, a sled actively pulls you every time you try to pull it and it will bring your shoulders back and undo that hunched over look so common these days. It IS hard work and you will probably overestimate how far you can pull a particular load the first few times, nevertheless, it is like being 10 again. That age when you can still run wild and free and there is nothing holding you back and you have complete freedom to run any way you like, you can run through that puddle, you can skip if you want to --skipping is plyometric-- and you can laugh without a care in the world. Everything is reduced to a battle of wills, the entire world has been reduced to the sled and you and all that matters is that you pull hard and stay strong. It is just you and the sled and now, you are truly free.

This weight sled is pretty sturdy and holds a decent amount of weight. I was surprised at how well it works. It is much easier to pull than I expected. The straps provided are strong and comfortable enough. The sled was very easy to put together and dies not take up too much space. I think this is a very good value for the money. I would buy again if needed.

Decent quality of sled itself and the straps. No obvious signs of inferior manufacturing or loose stitching. This holds about 3 45lb bumpers comfortably and is easy to pull across carpet without damaging anything. Definitely not for asphalt use. Will be trying it in the grass come spring time and see if it holds up against uneven terrain.

I can't afford or have the space for a backwards treadmill but this lets me load up a plate or to and sled backwards like the Kneesovertoes guy suggests and that's great for reversing knee pain. The fact that it comes with the straps is awesome and a good value. I would suggest starting with something like this before investing into something heavier.

While I have some curiosity surround by ability to tow this thing around with snow shows, it does not exceed my ambition to attempt it...yet. In lieu of snowplowing, I'm using it in the basement for pull-in training: load it with weights, attach a long, thick rope, pull-in the weights the length of the rope, rinse, repeat.I look forward to testing its function in the wild when the weather allows.

Have been pulling and pushing weight sleds at my gym so wanted to get something I could use outside the gym at home or at the parks. This is solid and well-built. Easy to assemble. Like the fact that I can use 1-in or 2-in plates by just adding an additional support bar. It comes with a harness and straps for pulling. I went and also got another set of sled pulling straps that enabled me to also "push" the sled by gripping the handles and position my arms between the straps to simulate same forward motion while using a more natural arm position that reduces strain and improves control. I most likely will use on the grass since it might be too noisy and grating to use on the concrete/streets.

The Seleware weight sled is a very high quality piece of fitness equipment. The item is very easy to put together and includes everything you need to throw your weights on and begin training right away. The harness is adjustable and the shoulder straps provide enough cushion to keep your shoulders pain free after training. The sled can support 1” or 2” weights and can withstand up to 500 lbs of weight. It’s compatible with various types of surfaces as well, including grass, concrete, asphalt, and turf.The best thing about the sled is its quality and durability. It’s made of powder coated steel that’s lightweight enough to make it easy to transport, but strong enough to withstand many, many uses. If you keep this dry, I don’t see any reason that the sled won’t last as long as you want it to last.Overall I’m highly impressed with the weight sled and believe it’s an amazing value. Everything about it is nice and it should help with speed and strength training whether you’re a beginner or well-seasoned fitness veteran. I’ll give it 5/5 stars and would highly recommend it to others.
