If you follow my stuff, you know I’m a big fan and regular user of drag sleds. As I said in a prior blog post, If you are not doing sled dragging, you should be! I consider it the most under utilized lower body exercise going. Forward is hard, reverse is brutal. According to the Elite Fitness site, the benefits of sled dragging is:
• GPP Work
• Injury Rehabilitation
• Strength Training
• Prehabilitation
• Increased Work Capacity
• Hypertrophy
• Starting Strength
• Acceleration Strength
• Strength Endurance
I’m a big fan of drag sleds. However, the Prowler sled takes it to another level. It’s your standard drag sled on steroids! The Prowler is, bar none, one of the best strength, conditioning, GPP tools you can use! Below is a short vid of my pal Jim and I doing some Prowler sled pushing… If you’re interested in The Prowler, there’s a link to EFS via the recommended products section HERE.

Looks great, i wish my gym had one of these 🙁
My gym does not either. That’s my personal Prowler sled. What they smartly did however was add that big strip of turf down the middle of the workout space, so one can use sleds, etc. to allow more conditioning/functional fitness type work. They do have a drag sled (see link in text above) which works great too, but it’s no Prowler sled! 🙂
Ever use a Prowler Sled??!!! Made this short vid today after my pal Jim and I did some Prowler sled pushing… I think he wanted to kill me
Don’t have a power sled? Find an empty parking lot, or use the street in front of your house and push your car 30 or 40 yds. Won’t cost you a dime!
looks like an awesome sled, much better than the ones ive tried out
