PROWLER program

Okay, so I've had this prowler for a little bit. It's fucking awesome and kills me.

I'm wondering though, if any of you have favorite programs with it or with tire dragging or sled dragging that you'd like to share with me. I'm using it with all my rugby athletes to develop penetrating running with people tugging on them (snicker...)

Should I use it at the beginning of practices to develop straight speed and power?
Or should I use it for conditioning at the end to wear them out?

Let me know what you think.

Work on your squat. There's a competition to be won.

Don't listen to Bort. Play with your prowler all the time, never think about squatting.

Only pussy's squat anyway - Leg Press Machine is much more impressive.

I fucking hate you guys.

Barut, I'm squatting three times a week. I might start a mini-smolov, but my progress might be hampered by a surgery in the near future.

I can't see how power-training with the prowler afte rmy squat workouts would hurt.

ADVICE you curs!

Use the prowler before, in between sets of and after squat squats... Push to failure, this will ensure proper gains.

Do your squats on the Prowler, while other members of your rugby team pull it around. It's like the he-man version of a Bosu ball.

Unstable surface = better stabilizer recruitment = bigger squat

I'd say before practice to tire you out and then during practice you will be fighting fatigue, just like in a real game. We did this for football, started off every practice with crazy conditioning and worked through fatigue the rest of practice.

ok, the honest answer, in the grand scheme of things, I think using a prowler with any real intensity is going to be near impossible in a smolov cycle. I suggest either dragging it with light weight or pushing it using similar intensity for recovery purposes, not for conditioning.
