I'm following a Beyond 5/3/1 program layout, and 3 times a week, instead of the 2mi walk, I've been doing weighted sled sprints.Currently loaded up to 180lbs, sprinting (if you can call it that) for about 20-25yds. I do 10 lengths, just taking long enough to catch my breath between goes, but still feeling "uncomfortable" in between.Doing these because I'm training for a FF PAT, and part of the exam is dragging "Rescue Randy".Also, since this lights up my posterior chain, and gives me a huge quad pump, is it cool to CBL on that day as well?Thanks for any input.Los31yo, 6', 235lbs., BF-unknown

No, you really shouldn't need to backload from this. It does work your legs but not like heavy resistance training does. It is a good way to flush blood to the legs for recovery as well as condition yourself.

+1, unless you are trying to gain weight.However, if you are trying to lose weight, you may need to backload more than you normally do on CBL nights. Also, I do think it's a good idea to take a protein + leucine shake after the sled session.
Yeah, I was guessing that. I haven't lost any weight, but have leaned out a bit. But it's slowed down a bit now.Thanks for the advice and I'll skip my CBL on my "cardio" days.As far as backloading, because of work schedule in AFG, it's basically, finish a 12hr, workout, Eat, then sleep. Only have time to cram everything into one meal.
