I was watching Hard Knocks and I saw this push sled they were using in like the first episode. So I says to myself, "Hey, I can make one of those...Then use it to torture freshman." So I got my shit together and made me one today. It glides easy, so I don't think it will tear up the field. I may end up using it more than the team...

Nice setup coach. You'd think the bottom runners would dig into the field, but it looks good.

for the bottom runners i just used 2x6 boards, and cut the ends of at a 45 degree angle just to smooth them out a bit. Works fine.

At first look, it reminded me of the prowler @ Elite.

Nice

If I had room in my garage for a wire welder and a cutting torch I would have all kinds of cool shit. As it is all I have room for/money for, is wood working equipment.

You work at a DII college and they can't afford sleds? My high school couldn't afford uniforms or practice jerseys and we had a 1,3, and 7.

We have like blocking and tackling sleds, but nothing like this where you can load up the weight and push it to work leg drive and extension.

Update. Today was the first time I got to use the sled on a wide scale. Put it on the field, and then made all the redshirts push it....after their workout today. I gave them the option of pushing it with me standing on it either 50 yards by themselves, or 120 with a partner. Aparently there are 8 idiots who can't do division because they chose 120 with a partner. As of right now I am the most hated man in San Angelo, two kids had to walk out thigh cramps, three collapsed on the field, and I'm in my office typing right now watching as one trys not to puke in the trashcan. I would say that makes it a success.

coach that had me laughing out loud. Is the prowler good for helping lifts or mainly for overall conditioning?

Yes...

It's good for conditioning, without having to do something gay like run. It is also great for overall strength in your lower body. Quads, hamstrings, calves, it gets all of them. You can back pedal pulling it to kill your quads, push down low or up high for calves and hammies, make games out of it, take off the weight and push long distances for GPP, it's a great tool.

You are an evil man, Coach, but I love it. Especially since I am not pushing that torture device. Maybe those 8 will need to brush up on their math too.

It's the best thing I've ever made. It's awesome for athletes of all kind. Great way to teach proper power angles to football players, get leg drive developed, lower body strength, and GPP for any athlete, especially lineman. Also, it makes people throw up, which makes me smile.
