The Prowler


Most people haven’t heard of a prowler. Only those who are serious about getting in shape fast, getting stronger and don’t mind a little pain will ever know what it is. We have been using it at Pro Performance with some of our athletes for some time. Some of the performance training facilities in the Northeast use it. Joe Defranco uses it with his athletes and has had tremendous results. This is what I have noticed using it with my own training and out athletes. We have gained strength both in the squat and dead lift. I have seen a steady progression in the weight we can push with the prowler. It is a tremendous anaerobic workout along with the most intense burn ever. Not only is it a leg workout, it is a total body workout. We vary our weight and distanced pushed according to where we are in our squat and dead lift cycle. The 1st time I used it I thought,” My legs will be destroyed for days”. To my surprise, I wasn’t sore at all. I came to this conclusion; Prowler sprints are working the concentric contraction and not the eccentric contraction. This makes this exercise not only a great muscle building and anaerobic workout, but also a restoration workout. If you want to get into shape fast, faster than interval training, make the most of your training time and increase your mental toughness, grab a hold of the prowler and push! Take a look at what the prowler can to do you. DON’T BE AFRAID! NO EXCUSES! JUST RESLUTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!
