Sled pull

Facing a loaded sled 10 m away, standing in an athletic half squat, pulling a rope hand over hand: one hand reaches forward and grips as the other pulls back to the hip. Shown with the rope running to the sled along the floor.

Load and joint demand

Bodyweight exercise: the load slider has no effect here; body mass comes from your limits.

No gravity-based joint demand to show for this exercise.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

5/10 effort5fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 45 s hard, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 34 legs points, 195 pull points, 114 arms points.

Prime movers

Latissimus dorsi, biceps, grip, rhomboids, gluteus maximus and quadriceps (holding the stance).

What to look for

  • Sit back into the hips with the chest up.
  • Long pulls: reach forward, grip, and pull to the hip.
  • Keep the rope moving; don't stand up between pulls.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
