So my Prowler experiment went well. I wanted to see if I did 10 days in a row of 10 trips of Prowler if I could get back into "Prowler condition". Meaning, 1:00 rest between sprints. The answer is yes. Technically I did 10 of 11 days as I took one day off. This was a much faster method for me than doing 1-2 times per week which would have taken me 4-6 weeks to get back into condition. I didn't really do any lifting during this time and didn't miss it. Having said that, once I get back from the next week of traveling I am excited to get started with one of the new challenges.

My experiment was really threefold; first to see if this method of Prowler immersion would work; to get some work in before being off for a week; and to get into condition for moving into the challenges.
