Conditioning
Prowler runs w/ 170lbs
9 runs x 30 yds down and back
Notes
This was on Saturday night. Forgot to post. We are mostly doing this in a quick walking fashion. Big, fast steps, but not a sprint.
Over the years, I've done pretty much all lengths and intensities of prowler pushes.
Pure, all out sprints is probably the most popular form of sled pushing (that I've seen). For some reason, everyone thinks you need to push these things at max fucking effort. Why? That is a poor idea in almost every genre of training. From distance running to powerlifting. Pure max work is extremely fucking limited in practical application.
I'm not going to go on and on about this tonight, but I'll just say I've found that for conditioning it is much more effective to push the prowler at 80% without sprinting. Then you can get in more passes with sessions of decent length.
Maxing out on this shit has its place, but if you when you hear the word "prowler" you think "hardcore max intensity," then you might want to check the beard on your neck.
