How to do the Torque Tank Push
Starting Position:
Begin by positioning the torque tank or sled in front of you on a flat, open surface.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your body facing the tank.
Grip and Setup:
Bend your knees slightly and lean forward so that your torso is angled toward the ground.
Grip the handles of the tank with both hands. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart.
Keep your back straight, chest up, and head looking forward.
Body Positioning:
Position your body low to the ground, maintaining a strong, stable posture. Your feet should be firmly planted on the ground.
Your knees should be bent, and your hips should be lower than your shoulders.
Movement Execution:
Engage your core muscles and push through your legs, driving your hips forward.
Use your arms to push the tank forward, moving in a smooth and controlled manner.
Keep your body low as you push, and avoid standing upright; maintain the incline of your torso.
Pushing Technique:
Focus on keeping your hands tight on the handles and driving the tank with your legs.
Push the tank forward for a set distance or until your chosen number of repetitions is complete.
Return to Start:
After completing the push, carefully bring the tank back to the starting position if necessary, or switch to the next set if you’re performing multiple rounds.
Breathing:
Inhale deeply before initiating the push, and exhale as you exert force, pushing the tank forward.
Cool Down:
After finishing your sets, take a moment to walk around and cool down to lower your heart rate gradually.
Tips:
Start with lighter weights to master your form before increasing the load.
Ensure that you warm up properly before beginning the exercise to prevent injury.
Focus on maintaining a steady pace rather than rushing through the movement.
