RAW STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING FOR PERFORMANCE DRIVEN INDIVIDUALS ON THE GOLD COAST

Elite Strength and Conditioning coach Joe De Franco offers nine tips for developing acceleration.

1) Prowler march: teaches proper acceleration lean (at a slow speed so athletes can "feel" it), along with positive shin angle and increases concentric strength/force application.

Have you ever used the Prowler?? If you had you'd remember it, one of the toughest and most effective conditioning tools which has the ability to bring people to their knees.

S&C Guru, Joe DeFranco describes the term "Prowler Drunk:" The kid is delirious, that much is clear. After the workout we see him stumbling into his Chevy Blazer. He gets in, starts it up, and backs right into the Prowler. The Prowler is fine, but his truck has a big dent. We're laughing, thinking, "Man, the Prowler bit him even after his workout." But it didn't end there. A block from the industrial complex where my gym is located, the kid has to open up his door to puke. That's when the cop spots him. College guy, puking on the side of the road... the cop turns on his lights and gives the kid a sobriety test. In the end, he lets him go, but I have to talk to the cop, tell him about the Prowler workout, and vouch for the kid. These days the cops know we're back here and they give the kids the benefit of the doubt.
