Let's here your 2023 goals, and feel free to update daily with your progress. Let's make 2023 a healthy one!


For me:

My main priority is a backpack mule deer hunt. I want to peak around mid August for bow and early rifle in September. I will again be using the Performance First rucking program, with a few different wrinkles. I used it in 2022 for an elk hunt, ended up packing three bulls off the mountain and performed pretty well over 15 or 17 days of hunting. This year I plan to cut a few pounds too.

1/1/23 workout: I am in the downhill side of covid. Was a pretty straight forward cold (stuffy, slight cough, no fever). So my workout today is letting my immune system do its thing.

But when I get back up to speed on Tuesday, I will start doing some speed work and strength training.

Started 2023 with:

Trap Bar Deadlifts 345#s for 2 sets of 5 after 3 warmup sets

T-Bar Rows 2-45’s for 2 sets of 8

Goblet Squats 100# dumbbell for 2 sets of 8

Incline Dumbbell Press 55’s for 2 sets of 8

Seated Dumbbell Curls 37.5’s supinated 2 sets of 8

Tricep Pushdowns 2 sets of 8

TRX rollouts for 2 sets of 8


Goals have changed over the last 35 years. More listening to the body. Avoid injury. Live to lift another day if necessary. Keep the posterior chain strong to keep the lower back bulletproofed. “Own” the weight before moving up

Happy New Year

I'm upping my mileage goal by a whopping one mile, 2023 miles for this year. laugh I've been using a similar "routine" for about decade and plan on continuing (God willing) with it. I hike daily on our local single tracks around here (we've been blessed with a couple of hundred miles single track trails all near town)- 3-5 miles/day and usually one day in the 8-10 mile range. Interspersed throughout the year are several multi-day backpacking trips (Winter included).

For strength training I've been following a modified Wendler 5/3/1 program where I'm lifting twice a week; I combine squats/bench one day and deadlifts/overhead press the other; mix in pull/chin-ups, lunges, dips, core, etc with each.

I have a Dall hunt in the Brooks Range in early August, so will move my weighted hiking up a couple of months earlier than normal. Typically I'll hike with weight three times a week (and 3-4 days w/o), starting at 30 lbs, moving to 45 and then to 60 lbs (probably closer to 10 lbs more than that with the weight of the pack, water, etc). I've found training with no more than 60 lbs of sand on my back cuts down on injuries and have never felt overly handicapped when called to haul 100 lb loads.

Good luck to everyone with the new year!

looking for 1100 plus miles again this year, have 7 in already. Really hoping for a couple of good elk hunts this year. Will also work more on upper body strength. Hiking right now.

Gotta be pretty exciting to prepare for a dall hunt! Good luck.

Ever do weighted sled pulls? Not sprinting, but just steady pace walking. I made a sled out of a harness from Amazon and a truck tire. I add bumper plates on the tire to up the resistance. It's a primary exercise in that rucking program, and I think it really works. Might be worth a try

Most definitely! smile

I haven't, but do something somewhat similar during the winter (and this past hunting season getting my elk out!) pulling a pulk. It definitely works the legs really well- especially uphill! It's nice going winter camping with my wife as she only has to carry a daypack, everything else in the pulk.

Goal is very modest:

Reach Timed Simple (Kettlebell workout/standard): 100 one handed swings in 5 mins; rest 1 min; 10 Turkish getups in 10 mins; all with 32kg Kettlebell

I reserve the right to add to this once I reach this goal! wink I generally am way to ambitious with my goal setting and then fail.

Got 100 swings in today with my 20kg bell, but tweaked something in my back, so stopped after 2 TGUs. Doing a 30day pushup challenge and got my 9 sets in. Walked the pooch for 1.5mi.

I've been a sack of poop for way to long. Easing back into setting up a good (for me) routine.

Don’t count on it.

I ended 2022 with 849 miles ran, 21,580 push ups, 5435 pull ups, 8525 sit ups, and 12,300yards in the pool (but I started again end of Nov.). Goals are about the same this year; like to break 1000 miles running, but need to keep focusing on core muscles and weight training as well. Swam competitively as a kid, and am liking how it's feeling today. I'll definitely be adding more time in the pool this year.

That's the right mindset!!! I think cwh2 always starts around mid-July.

Plus, they gym is always crowded during January, New Years resolutioners. By March they'll all be gone.
