The Beauty now is you CAN focus on lifting while letting the Prowler take care of the conditioning.
Also your legs will explode from all the concentric pushing of the prowler.
Tip for Quads: buy Ropes or some sort of straps (I have EliteFTS Blast straps) and attach them to the front of the prowler. Pull it backwards in a 135 Deg crouched position for an insane VMO burn on the quads.
As for Overhead squatting, ditch it. Unless you plan to compete, and you don't, it's not worth it.
Instead focus all your attention on Front squatting (use a heels elevated on 10lb plateS) and back squatting (Could use Box squats to really hammer the posterior chain).
This this squat "split" you will make more over all 'squat' progress. The overhead just isn't worth it.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
