The BrinkZone Sled-Centric Program!

The Ultimate Program For The Ultimate Whole Body Strength & Conditioning Tool

I have been working with push sleds (specifically the Prowler II) for years now with people from all walks of life. SWAT teams, fitness models, strong man competitors, body builders, IFBB pro Figure competitors, to Joe/Jane every day fitness enthusiast, and those looking to shed some weight, to name just a few. The longer I use the sled with an ever wider variety of people with varying goals, the more convinced I became that the push sled is the single most effective strength and conditioning tool I have used. More info on this program HERE if interested.

Thanx

This is really cool, Will. Thanks for posting.

Using a sled at my gym would be a no go. No room inside my house either.

To be effective, I'm sure we're concerned about what type of surface the Prowler will be moving across since that, along with the weight, will be what generates the friction.

That being said, what are your thoughts on trying to use this type of routine outside? I noticed in one of your SWAT training vids you had the guys pushing a Prowler up hill on asphalt (or what looked like asphalt). Any disadvantages to trying to move the prowler across grass or similar?

The Prowler - and other push sleds depending on their design and quality of materials used - can be used on essentially any surface. You'll see most vids on YT for example out in some parking lot on asphalt. One guy using the program got creative by buying a 75' (length used in the BSCP) by 4' piece of artificial turf and doing it in the parking lot of his gym.

I cover that in the program BTW. Most users of sleds use them on asphalt and if the skids are made of good quality steel, works fine. Grass works fine on lighter weight, but will plow badly and rip up the grass when going heavy. The program calls for some heavy ass sled work to develop strength as well as conditioning.

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback.

I purchased the BSCP book and read through it. My current program should last me through July, after which I'd like to try the BSCP. I'll be working at paving the way for that to happed until then (finding a sled and/or place that has one I can utilize).

I've been looking for ways to change up my routines to keep my body guessing. I think this will be an excellent way to do just that.

Excellent. Please review your experience and results with the program when you get started on that.

WillBrink,

I tried sending you a PM but your inbox is full. What is a good way to get ahold of you for a specific question about BSCP? I would rather not put this specific question out on an open forum. Thanks.

Great addition to a routine.

I cleared some space on the PM but, but why not post a Q on the program in the thread? If it's a PERSEC related Q, etc, use PM as needed.
