Advice and technique for a truck pull?

[binxdajinx]

I was thinking of doing this as a charity event later in the year.

Does anyone have some good advice and technique on how to prepare for a truck pull?

first advice is weigh more than 155lbs....bodyweight is an advantage.

first are you talking with a harness or arm over arm? if with a harness lean at a 45 degree angle to the ground and use it as leverage. and push really hard.



arm over arm, pull with all your might and use your legs.

other than gaining 200lbs, you need to find a truck to pull an get in a harness - with strongman events, using the implement itself goes a long way, often times people will be twice as good at an event just from doing it
