Another unique position involves putting your head between the pipes, with hands on the sides of the barrel, this nearly eliminates upper body. It will be useful if your upper body taxes or after a hard mainly upper body workout.

The only problem I've had so far is the resistance varies GREATLY between surfaces. Ie dirt to grass dirt to heavy thick grass is a huge difference in force output. Thick long grass stopped me cold with weights I was flying with on grass/dirt mix.

I used a really light metal barrel, if you make one, I'd recommend heavier. I already had one and didn't want two to store. I'll just replace it if it goes bad. For use on cement, a tire with similar wood/piping might work better. It sure would be quieter.

Sorry about the sound. I can't figure out how to fix it.

Yes, you can put anything in it for weight. In the video, I had 2 35s in it. It will take awhile to figure out weights.

For those that don't know, and there are quite a few, the Prowler is a real manufactured device. For information, search youtube for prowler and defranco.

i'm guessing you weigh it down? I didn't see any weight in the video, and it seems like it'd be pretty easy otherwise.
