There isn’t one “best” way to pull the HYROX sled…
Each technique has its place depending on your strengths, the weight, and your race strategy.
🔹 Walk Back – Simple, efficient, and keeps constant tension on the sled.
🔹 Hand Over Hand + Walk Back – Generates more momentum while allowing you to keep moving.
🔹 Hand Over Hand – Great for shorter, powerful pulls when you want to move the sled aggressively.
🔹 Hip Extension Pull - Uses your hips and posterior chain to create maximum power while reducing arm fatigue.
Experiment with each, find what suits you, and practise it before race day. The fastest technique is the one you can perform consistently under fatigue.
Which one do you use? 👇

3 - Strides - Short Fast Strides OR Long & Slow and keep the pace.
4 - Change Over - Take 3-7 Deep Breaths - Keep moving - Don’t waste time.
