I have been sprinting and doing Prowler work for most of my conditioning work. I just went through circuits A,B,C&D (110 lb bag)twice with 2 minutes rest, and finished with 8 sets of mixed grip pullups. This is much more taxing than just the Prowler or sprints. I was thinking about staying at 2 rounds for weeks 1 & 2 and adding 1-2 rounds in weeks 3 & 4. What would you reccommend?

As much as I'd like to try carrying a sandbag for strength training, I don't think I can. I can barely lift half a sandbag if my life depended on it. I guess I blame it on my weak arms. But this is a great article, thanks for sharing. Wow! As much as I’d like to try carrying a sandbag for strength training, I don’t think I can.
