I made a smaller one of these, but I hooked it to the back of my push lawn mower. I have some hills in my backyard. That’ll give you a workout!!

@JT: Your rugby team has a scrum sled, not a prowler. A scrum sled can run 10-20k and is made to replicate the body motions that you go through as a front/second row forward in the scrum. Very different.

@Benny:

I’ve seen some people use a regular tire, but with a round wooden middle (like a rim) to carry weight. It would be easy to have a few sandbags of varying weights to load/deload easily for a differing set of exercises.

So thats what there called. My rugby team has a big metal one one with four bags to hit. Call it the scrum sled

I’m going to make this but I want to modify it with hooks so I can drag it as well. Also I need to figure a way to have it work on snow since I’m currently living in a location where it snows 9 out of 12 months.

What about a custom lawn roller. You can make your grass look good and get the same workout.

Brilliant prowler tutorial, the best I’ve seen. Love the PVC pipe idea, which could easily be replaced with metal pipe for use on hard surfaces.

I’m already a fan of Jerred’s posts, and this DIY Prowler really hits home for me. The care taken in the construction reminds me so much of the projects my dad would always have around the house when I was younger. Anything from trellises to my treehouse, he built it.

Who knows? It’d be SWEET if they start using Jerred’s DIY Prowler in future CrossFit Games haha.

Good idea for inexpensive piece of equipment. There is a cheaper way, though, and involves a tire. Basically using a large tire and towing straps. Pull it while going back or forth. Or pull it toward you. Many possibilities.
