I managed to gut it out, but it could have been more fun. I'd like to spread that pain over a longer time period this year.
I knew I wasn't in good shape, but realizing that I couldn't squat my pack (with meat/camp) was sort of an eye opener. Makes it tough to take a break when you can't stand up with a pack on. Main thing is, you still did it.

I will admit I had to look that up....but I think this is something different. When I started, unilaterally, I was at X weight. Now, I'm at X + 20%.

Did squat at the gym today, along with bike intervals, seated shoulder press, lat pulldowns, leg press, reverse lunges, Romanian lunges, weighted calf raises and kettlebell swings.
Little bit of ogling, which added a couple beats to my heart rate.

10 minutes warmup on bike 5 (each side) turkish get ups 5 (each side) lat rows 10 deadlifts 15 minutes elliptical
What would Porter Rockwell do?

I benchpressed today. Started at one plate per side and worked up to 285 with a slight incline.

Up in the mountains this weekend for a little of the real thing (hiking, with a pack, in the mtns.). Saw a herd of elk, 30 in all, headed up the opposite ridge:

Pretty cool.
Gym workout and then a backpack hike myself. Nothing like yours, didn't even see a Deer. Ran into this runner back at the truck and turns out he does 50mile ultra marathons.
First laying snow on the ground during the hike. Way late in getting here.

P90X3 starts tomorrow for me. We'll see what the results are in 90 days, working out for 30 minutes a day in the living room.

P90x was the beginning of a transformation of a hunting acquaintance. Did it for maybe a year and he was a different person. Then he moved onto crossfit when his sons got into that. 51 years old. He can't keep up with the kids, but he is a 1%er for his age group.

I did the original p90x for years. It's a great workout, but time consuming. I know some very successful backpack hunters who use p90x. I'm starting in good shape, but would like to maintain and drop some lbs. Would like to get down to that 175 range to hunt at next year.

Was going to start this thread on New Years myself. I am way behind some of you guys and 2015 sucked balls as far as fitness. Moved houses and basically quit working out. I have my home gym setup better than before and am finally back lifting and eating clean. Going to try for a quick winter backpack trip this weekend if the weather is dry to see how out of shape I really am.

Dude, you're tempting fate! A man your age? Hit the submit key and grinned, knowing what was coming. For your peace of mind. Compared to moving iron the HR never blinked. Sleep easy.

It was light, but there was a lot of ground to move it off of. Have to admit the back was a little cranky for an hour or so this morning.

4 mile snowshoe run with about 300' of elevation gain. I held my pace just shy of 9:50/mi.
Now I need to clear my driveway before work......
