Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2023 - Fitness / Workout thread

Pretty good week- 47 miles (987 miles for the year), probably 15-ish of those miles with a 35# pack. Did a quick overnight/peak bag in the Elkhorns and racked up just under 20 miles (with 4000') of gain.

Both strength train sessions in, still not going above 75% of my 1RM. I'm also pretty much turning them into HIIT workout by doing 3-5 rds/5-10 reps (60 second rest between rds)- squats/bench/pullups one day, deadlifts/overhead press/chinups the other day.

Going to bump the pack weight up to 40 lbs this week, shooting for 3-4 weighted hikes.

Threw the little tarp (5x5') in at the last second as it showed a very favorable forecast, good thing I did as it started raining at 3 in the morning and never quit after that.
