How to do it

  1. Attach dual handles to a sled connected by a rope or chain. Load the sled to a light weight.
  2. Face the sled, backing up until there is some tension in the line. Hold your hands directly above your head with your elbows extended. This will be your starting position.
  3. Walk backwards, keeping your arms raised above your head. Avoid jerky movements.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Sled Overhead Backward Walk from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Front Delts volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
