Got questions about World Champs? You'll likely find everything you need to know inside the 2024 DEKA World Championship FAQ. Give it a read and get ready for an epic weekend of celebrating fitness in Florida this December. | | | |  | You're in the home stretch in the DEKA Arena. You glance at your watch and see you're making good time. Just two zones to go...what could go wrong?
Just gotta get through Zone 9: the 100 meter sled push/pull.
Some people can beast this out quickly. And others feel like they might need to have their belongings sent over because they're definitely moving in for the long term.
Want to be a part of the first group and not the second? Let's talk about how to Own the Zone for Zone 9.
For this one, we have Alim Shabazz, owner of DEKA Affiliate Big Tire Bootcamp in Oahu, Hawaii with three tips to help you improve your split and dominate this zone:
1. Form & Technique: stay low and drive through your legs to maintain momentum during the sled push. Keep your core engaged and use full-body force to maximize power on the pull.
2. Alternate Exercises: incorporate prowler pushes and heavy rope pulls into your training to build the strength and endurance needed for the sled.
3. Improve Split Time: focus on explosive lower body movements like jump squats and kettlebell swings to increase power and reduce transition time between pushes and pulls.
