🚨Slow you down to speed up - 10% velocity decrease on sled drives beat 20% for vertical jump height. 🔥20% won for change of direction and linear speed.
⚡️⚡️⚡️Same tool, different dose, different adaptation.
👉This is exactly how I already train athletes — heavy sleds for max velocity and force production, and now light sled drives are on the table for jump height.
🏆
If you’re training vertical jump exclusively, though, I’d still pick trap bar or deadlift plus max jumps and box jumps over sleds. The sled is a supplement, not the main event.
Save this if you need speed or power
