There is no substitute for a pulling sled so I’d suggest buying one as for less than $120 bucks you’ll have the complete strength & conditioning tool to take your game to the next level.

Use straight weight. If you’re building to a max, build the prescribed number of sets over the course. If you’re performing dynamic effort work, increase the percentage by 3-5% each week. There is more guidance in your program.

Replace sled pushes with air bike or rower sprints if you’re performing distances of 100 ft. use 15s second sprints.

Each program that does include special bars has substitutions, which most times include opting for using a straight bar, however, most of my programs ONLY include the trap bar as required equipment.

Build in weight over the course of 4 sets of 8 eg.
135 x 8
185 x 8
225 x 8
275 x 8

Perform the prescribed amount of work, re-racking and resting between cluster sets then resting the full amount of time between sets. For example,
3 x 2.2.1 (15s). Rest 3:00 = 2 reps + re-rack & rest 15s + 2 reps + re-rack & rest 15s + 1 rep, re-rack & rest 3:00

Each program comes with the complete required equipment list on the program's respective page.

I would recommend opting for a new program after you’ve completed the full program. Reason being, that each one of my programs is different and will expose you to new variables. Also, as individuals, our goals often change based on the season of the year so I’d recommend opting for a program that best aligns with your goals.

If you do not have a box you can use a standard bench which is about 17” or you could get creative with something else just make sure the box can support your body weight plus the weight on the barbell. If you want a professional box, I’d recommend this.

Substitute a back raise or moderate weight Russian kettlebell swing using the same rep scheme. Keep in mind, nothing will truly replace a RH and these options work the same musculature but will not have the same overall effect.
