Thor’s Burden

• Drive Through Your Legs: Use your lower body for power, not just your arms.
• Keep a Steady Pull: Engage your back and core to prevent strain and maintain control.
• Stay Behind the Line: Crossing it will bring dishonor (and obstacle failure).

• Grip Matters: Use an overhand or mixed grip for better control.
• Short, Powerful Pulls: Tug in controlled bursts rather than one exhausting effort.
• Train Heavy: Practice with sled drags and deadlifts to build raw pulling power.

Q: Can I throw the block back instead of carrying it?
A: No, you must carry it back to its original position.

Q: What happens if I cross the pulling line?
A: Stepping over the line results in obstacle failure—stay behind it.

Q: How can I train for this?
A: Farmer’s carries, sled pulls, and heavy rope pulls will improve your ability.
