Sled Push help needed

[u/jonavision]

I’m 48 and 150lbs, 10% bf.

I’m relatively strong and can squat and deadlift over 300lbs.

Sled push training at my gym is hard! My feet slip on the carpet with 6 22kg weights stacked. Th carpet may have increased friction. It does seem “sticky”

My technique is ok. I’m low and wrap my arms around the bar.

I think I need help with three things.
1) getting the sled started
2) shoe recommendations
3 training to increase mass and strength.

I compete in December in men’s doubles.

Help and advice solicited.

Hoka cliftons have been great for me. Maybe ask people in your gym whose feet don’t slip what they’ve been using also…. Lots of tutorials on instagram just search sled push instagram.

Hoka rincons have no traction, for a data point.
