No, it is more like a nylon woven strap, but rope would work just as well. The strapping material I get at walmart and it is much cheaper than rope. I think I paid about $3.75 for the strap. You can find it in the material section…well at least in the walmart near me.

Ahhh–the good ‘ol days at Bucknell! I thought I would see my car (illegally) parked on the side. Jerry, keep up the great work!! I’m constantly trying to find new ways to train for twilight (wooden bat) baseball and other activities. Incredible stuff!

I basically cut the rim of a tire on one side out. This allows plates to be placed down in the tire. I also drill two holes on the sides of the tire and place seat belt bolts and clips through the holes. Attach straps to the seat belt clips and you are ready to drag. I sell a DVD which shows you step by step exactly how I do this and it is later followed up with a lot of training exercises that I use with my athletes and clients.

Jack,
Great question. Each exercise would be dragged around 40-60 yards. The tire does not drag smoothly on the road especially with a couple of 45 lb plates in it. Believe me 40-60 yards is a killer for the legs. The guys covered a lot of yards that morning!

What distances were they travelling for each exercise?
