“Instantly I could just tell it was a great training tool to teach you the positions that you get in as an offensive lineman on the football field. You are learning how to come out of your stance, hit your man, drive him down the field, fire and bring your hips and then finish the block at the end. I don't know any other sled that does that” - Joe Thomas, NFL's Iron Man
One of the key aspects that impressed both Joe Thomas and Alex Boone about the FlipSled is its versatility and applicability to lineman on the field. The FlipSled offers a range of exercises and movements that target specific muscle groups and enhance overall power, conditioning, and technique. Additionally, the heavy resistance provided by the FlipSled challenges offensive linemen to push their limits, developing their strength, grit, and toughness.
The FlipSled has received resounding approval from NFL veterans like Joe Thomas and Alex Boone, both of whom recognize its value in offensive line training. Their positive experiences and endorsement highlight the effectiveness and benefits of incorporating FlipSled into training routines.
