I am looking for a good program to progress in putting weight on the prowler. Is just adding weight (5 lbs a week) each week good or would I be better off following this program from Harry Selkow "
The condition level and the body weight of the athlete determines starting weight to be added to the Prowler®.
For our purpose, the “frame” weighs nothing. We don’t count it!
Body weight under 150 pounds will use 50 pounds. If over that, will use 90 pounds.
Also, we will refer to the number of times you push the Prowler® as “sets” X the distance.
Beginners should push ONE to TWO times per week.
Novice Level
Session 1 and 2:
6 x 40 yards
Session 3 and 4:
8 x 40 yards
Session 5 and 6:
10 x 40 yards
Session 7 and 8:
6 x 40x +10 pounds
Session 9 and 10:
8 x 40x+10 pounds
Session 11 and 12:
6 x 40x+10 pounds
Session 13 and 14:
8 x 40x+20 pounds
Session 15 and 16:
10 x 40x+20 pounds
Etcetera, Etcetera…
