BACK TO ROOTS 🇫🇮
SLED DRAGGING

In the 1990s, Louie Simmons became interested in why Finland had produced so many strong deadlifters. Swedish powerlifter Eskil Thomasson traveled to Finland to look into the subject and found that many of Finland’s strongest deadlifters worked as lumberjacks.
Their work involved manually dragging timber through the forest ,forward, backward and in different positions. Louie saw a connection between this kind of physical work, a strong posterior chain and deadlift strength. He brought the idea to Westside Barbell, where sled dragging became one of the best-known methods for building GPP – General Physical Preparedness.
The sled can be dragged from a belt while walking forward, backward or sideways. It strengthens the legs, glutes and posterior chain while building work capacity without turning every additional training session into heavy powerlifting work.

FUN FACT 🇫🇮
Finnish powerlifting legend Veli Kumpuniemi known as Mr.deadlift, who also had a background in physical work, deadlifted 357.5 kg at 82.4 kg bodyweight . When the old weight classes were later discontinued, the lift became an eternal world record.
357.5 kg at 82.4 kg — over 4.3× bodyweight.
From the Finnish forests to Westside Barbell and back to 🇫🇮🌲➡️🇺🇸
