Dummy Drag

[MATTTPS]

Hello Everyone



Just out of curiousity. What are some good exercises to help out with the dummy drag?


Thanks

Matt

try tying a rope around a tire. also, you can go to a hardware store and get a bag of cement or something. there are few things that weigh 150 pounds in one package, so you may have to just practice while pulling less weight, or somehow put two things together. there is always the option of actually trying to pull a person. while working with a trainer, she had me pull her around the gym.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Those are some pretty good ideas. I tryed a practise and everything was going great til I reached that dummy drag.

Squats, calf raises. You'll feel the legs burn when you drag mr smith, just keep going

Stairs are your friend/enemy.

Brother, Sister, or Friend who weighs about 125lbs, drag them around for practice lol J/K

As mentioned above, squats and stairs are good, anything lower body, legs, lower back will help.

I use my 100lb heavy bag with my 55lb son riding it.

It makes him feel good that he is helping me through the process and he also has a lot of fun doing it

lol i find the prep isn't really something you have to train for. the dummy drag is easy as long as you hold it right. it's an easy test, but difficult to get an excellent score. i forget what my time was, but i had a lot of time to spare. don't worry about it.......unless your th ekind of person that is out of breath running for short distances

I was told I did great with everything until I got to the dummy drag. I had trouble gripping the wrists. Once I was able to grip the wrists I had trouble pulling the dummy on the padding they had on the floor. Which still makes no sense to me why you would need padding on the floor to begin with.

When I tryed the practise with the OPP they didn't have any sort of padding on the floor and I passed no problem. Anyone else have this sort of problem?

I've done the PREP tons of times, through college, then testing twice (one renewal), then again a few times at OPC never did we once have padding on the floor under the dummy.
