Homemade Prowler

The prowler is the mega beast of training equipment.

Give's you hell but you'll benefit from it

A fave of Joe Defrancos




See my own DIY|Homemade Prowler Sled which is probably the cheapest you'll find. Made only from scrap wood and old car tires

Home Made T Handle

Check out how to make this from Davedraper.com

This is a great idea, one I originally saw made by Dan John, I have welded one of these up so I can use some really big weights on it and also do strongman style duck walks. But this method is also goo. The following excerpt is from Dave Draper's Site.

Use this to build some serious posterior chain power

The swing is a simple and effective exercise for the posterior chain. It is a plyometric exercise, so it can be used to develop explosive power; it also uses a lot of the body's muscle and can be used with high repetitions to develop endurance. Currently, it is probably most commonly done with a kettlebell, in fact it is one of the most basic and useful kettlebell exercises. A kettlebell is superior to a dumbbell for swings because it has a narrower profile, which makes it easier to swing between the legs without bumping the shins or knees.

There is an even better device for two handed swings that is cheap and easy to make: the T-handle, a.k.a. the Hungarian Core Blaster. By "cheap and easy," I'm talking Paris Hilton here, less than $10 and five minutes. All you need is the equipment on this list, available at most any hardware store:

* one 3/4" pipe Tee fitting
* one 3/4" x 12" pipe nipple for the vertical shaft(a pipe nipple is a piece of pipe, threaded at both ends)
* two 3/4" x 4" pipe nipples for the "horns", or better, one 3/4" x 8" nipple cut in half
* one 3/4" floor flange
