Pads are set in a realistic arc that approximates the angles and levels linemen encounter during live game action, making every rep in practice feel like the strikes they'll execute on game day. Now upgraded with the new H1 Pads - each featuring a foam torso with mounted shoulder pads and jersey - the Cruncher delivers a lifelike feel that trains all aspects of hand placement and body positioning.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 2026 updated model incorporates the HPST (Hip Power Spring Tech) system, which provides adjustable resistance when a pad is leveraged, mimicking real-game opposition. With independently height-adjustable pads and no-tool angle adjustments, coaches can dial in drill specifics to match any distance-to-contact scenario. This sled allows players to work on footwork, punch technique, and body position even without a coach present - maximizing reps and accelerating development for any offensive line.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eH1 Pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder pads and jersey mounted on a foam torso for a realistic feel - trains all aspects of hand placement as close to striking a live opponent as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-Man Arc Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pads set in an arc that approximates real in-game angles and levels linemen face - the only pass protection sled of its kind on the market.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHPST (Hip Power Spring Tech):\u003c\/strong\u003e Engages when a pad is leveraged, providing adjustable resistance tailored to your level of play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePad Angle Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Body lean adjustable to 0, 12, or 20 degrees - no tools required, just pull a pin to match distance-to-contact for each drill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight-Adjustable Pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each pad adjusts individually to accommodate players of different sizes and positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuarterback Protection Training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Improves 3, 5, and 7 step drop-back protection skills - work 1 to 5 players on all their sets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoach Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows coaches to focus on the linemen, not a shield holder - players can train footwork, body position, and punch independently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaily Pass Rush Simulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Get a daily feel for rushers by working on faster hands, jamming, disrupting moves, and making defenders restart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowder Coated Steel Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Frame is powder coated black for durability and a professional look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Turf Wheel Kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available separately - wheels and jacks mount to the chassis and stay on the sled, no tools required, for easy relocation across track surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 Pad Color Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in Black, Navy, Royal, Red, Green, and Gold to match your team colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips free!

The H1 Pad upgrade takes training authenticity to a new level, ensuring that every single rep in practice mirrors the strikes and hand battles players will face on game day. With the HPST resistance system and fully adjustable angles, coaches can design drills that precisely replicate the demands of any offensive line scheme. The ability to work up to 5 players simultaneously - without a dedicated shield holder - means more reps, better efficiency, and faster development across your entire line. Built with durable powder-coated steel and engineered for relentless daily use, the Cruncher is the kind of equipment that programs invest in once and rely on for years. If developing dominant, consistent offensive linemen is a priority, this sled belongs on your practice field.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCRU5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of Pads\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH1 Pads (foam torso with shoulder pads and jersey)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Angle Adjustment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0, 12, or 20 degrees (no tools required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividually adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eResistance System\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHPST (Hip Power Spring Tech) - adjustable resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Finish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder coated black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePad Colors Available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack, Navy, Royal, Red, Green, Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOptional Accessory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurf Wheel Kit (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlease confirm with manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFreight - please contact us for delivery details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat makes the H1 Pad different from a standard blocking pad?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe H1 Pad features a realistic foam torso with shoulder pads and a jersey mounted on it, making it feel as close to striking a live opponent as possible.
