Prowler Fight Prep

The only way to become a better fighter is to fight. With that being said, I believe this is one of the superior ways to condition a fighter who is nearing their fight day.
This video was taken on the very first day we had ever trained in this fashion. What you see here is a group of Gladiator athletes really not knowing what to expect. They are familiar with the prowler, but not like this. The only "Active Rest" they get is bouts of pad work between prowler sprints. Although this was completely off the cuff, I suggest you give this a shot in your training and you will see, in a short period of time, how effective and devastating this type of training is. Since this video, we have had some amazing results from training this way.
I will take credit for using the prowler in this manner, but I would like to thank EliteFTS.com for a well built Prowler. These Prowlers are built for punishment. Kind of like our fighters!
