I love the feeling of torn muscles in the morning.
I don't recommend it when doing a double metric though.

I've been at the same 24 you go to for about a yr, I used to go to the one in RB by souplantation and the one in PQ when I lived in that area.
I don't know what the weight of the sled is, never factored that in. I'm making good power again, I just need to raise my muscle speeds.
I've always guestimated the sled to be 45 lbs...but I don't factor it in either.

Jeez crap man. How much do you have on there when you're doing 8-10 reps?
Like Jeff, I'll normally rep (10 reps) with 14 plates. By the third set, the last 5 truly suck.
I'll do one warmup set of 20 reps with 8 plates, then 1 set of 14 reps of 12, then 3 sets of 10 with 14.
My best ever max was way back in 1997, when I did 20 plates. (9 per side, and 2 on top)...I did it 3 times and bailed out on the 4th. 990 lbs in just plates.

Dec 27-29 are climbing days. They promise lots of climbing, and depending on the group that shows up and on how I'm feeling (still a bit out of it from lack of riding) we may hit some double digit grades. Dec 30 is gonna be flat as a pancake. May or may not ride on Dec 31. May or may not have a quick spin on Dec 26 (depending on whether time permits once I get out to western NC).
