Prowler Sprint

How to perform

  1. 01Place your sled on an appropriate surface, loaded to a suitable weight. The sled should provide enough resistance to require effort, but not so heavy that you are significantly slowed down.
  2. 02You may use the upright or the low handles for this exercise. Place your hands on the handles with your arms extended, leaning into the implement.
  3. 03With good posture, drive through the ground with alternating, short steps. Move as fast as you can for a short distance.

Form cues

  • Brace your core before the first rep and keep it braced.
  • Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
  • Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

  • Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
  • Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
  • Adding weight before the movement pattern is clean.
