I've got a 5 mile hiking trail loop near my shack. I've got both a 20lb and a 30lb slabs of iron that I mix and match into my backpack and my 10lb Garand sans sling.

With said gear I hike the trail 6 days a week ( 1 day off for good behavior). Back at the trail head if the ground is dry or frozen I then drop for pushups, then shed the backpack for crunches.
If the ground is sloppy I head back to the shack for PT with then a final round of chin-ups.

Come October and those 1000 ft. elevation climbs I'm glad for the grunts and groans I've banked during the year...


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
