The Prowler

Most people haven't heard of the prowler. Only those who are serious about getting in shape fast, getting stronger, and is willing to work will ever know what it is. We have been using it at Mach 3 Elite Training Systems with some of our clients and all of our athletes for some time.

This is what I have noticed using it in my own training...Specifically I have gained strength in my squat and dead lift and I have seen a steady progression in the weight I am able to push with the prowler.  It is a tremendous anaerobic workout and has the most intense burn ever. 

It is seriously a great leg and full body workout no doubt. You can vary the weight and distanced traveled depending on your training cycle. My first workout with it I thought "my legs are toast for days." Shockingly, they weren't sore all that much. It does depend on your conditioning level of course and I also noticed that the Prowler sprints are more of a concentric contraction rather than any eccentric contraction. Which limits that soreness. This is a recipe for a great workout that has a positive tendency towards recovery, too. 

Once again, with all that said, you get in shape fast, build strength and definitely challenges your mental toughness! 

Get your butt in gear!
