I wonder if there is a reason why clubs like Milan, Liverpool, Chelsea and Madrid don't try and make their players 'fitter and stronger' by getting the players to pull sleds full of rocks up a hill

Seems to me like they're missing a trick

Only if you think a players performance isn't improved by being fitter and stronger

Got to improve fitness and strength in the right way though. You do not want to turn out a squad full of musclebound bodybuilders.

Sled pulls won't turn people into bodybuilders, depending on the weight you use they're either brilliant for anaerobic fitness or for improving allround leg strength.

I get your point, but...
All clubs do major core physical work in the off-season. Whether it's in the gym or outside, it's immaterial really. It's just as fucking tough.
