Mountain Shape

[casey58]

I've been destorying my legs in the gym and hiking lakeland hill with 50lbs when the weather is decent.

41 min with 100 pounds to the top ?? Or to the top then bottom ?? 1000 feet in 20 min with that much weight is pretty good...

41 min to the top. So 41 min 1100 ft, 1.2 miles.

Dumped fifty pounds of sand off the trail at the top...I felt like I could run down the hill at that point.

Doing that hill in 20 min with that weight is borderline unfeasible...I'm sure there's 1 or 2 guys around here that could give it a run, but when I run the flats with no weight I'm around 17...

We are trying to cut that number down to around 35-36 by the end of July.

Between machinists not getting me product and the mother-in-law moving in my heart rate hasn't slowed down in over a week.  At this rate I should be ready for just about anything!


Whether I'm in shape or not

Thanks for the info i will have to try that a couple times a week this summer help get into better shape.

I have been doing enough to cardiovascular and run training to stay very lean but really I have been focusing on power-athlete training wit squats, cleans and vertical jump training.

So far I have felt incredible out in the woods.  I have never really worked out with the intent of being better at hunting though.

I agree. Twenty minutes up Mt. Pete with 100 lbs is pretty close to impossible. My best was two round trips in 50 minutes with only running shoes and a jock strap (maybe I'm kidding here), but that was 22 years ago. I go almost every day, on a silver mountain bike with a Lefty fork. If you see me, say hello. Also, it's fun to hike/bike up on New Year's Eve, at about 3 p.m. when it's midnight in Deutschland (Ja!) because there's quite a celebration going on up there every year. Come prepared to hoist a few cold beverages and sing some German folk songs (they hand out the words so you can join in). It's a hoot! I always say, "Petey people is good people."

I like doing quick sprints to the fridge and then pack 12 ounces back at a time! Gets me into hunting camp shape.

Yes, you have to keep your liver in shape.

You must be the guy I talked with on the way down this morning. It was good talking with you. I'll send you a pm later with some info on the area we were talking about.

Hey! Small world. Nice to meet you and I'm sure we'll cross paths again.
