Prowler or ghetto prowler?

Diesel6 · 01-15-2009, 05:15 PM

Im gonna add sled pushing/dragging into my workout, and was thinking about buying a prowler, but they run around $300 and I cant find a used one anywhere. Is it really worth it? Or would I be better off going with something like this from Ebay for about $100...

I can spend $300 if I have to, but would much rather spend $100. Also, its hard to tell from that picture, but does it look like you can push the one above? Or does that bar look too low?

i can say that i have used a sled that is similar to the $100 one to do pushes with. i am not exactly sure what the dimensions of the sled i used were or what the dimensions of the sled on ebay were. but they pretty much look to be the same type of sled and i was able to do pushes with it. so i would get the $100 ghetto prowler.

Yes, cheaper ones are ok, but make sure that the quality is up to snuff, which is hard considering its from ebay.

Push a car uphill. Then tie a rope around it and keep it from rolling downhill.

Make sure a responsible driver is in the car.
