I just started the MTN Tough 45-70 program. I’m really glad I gave it a try. I think they did a Great job with the programming. It’s intense and they have excellent guidance on how to scale it based on your current strength and fitness levels.
I like your workout plan. I have a decent six pack. I’m around 11%. I’ll cut down to 8% before the hunt, but I have no desire to be single digits long term.
6’3 ~230 here with a useless 330 lb bench. I want to lose ~15lb 6 months before my 2021 sheep hunt. I’m working to build up my leg and core strength with squats, dead’s, planks and cycling.
I paid $100/ounce for a titanium action. I think it matters a lot if you can cut weight without sacrificing performance or function. If I can do that, I will.
I think another valuable metric is performance increase per lb dropped. I've seen estimates in the range of .65% per pound. It adds...
My first sheep hunt, cardio wasn't my issue. Hardest part was coming down the mountain with a sheep on my. back. If your back can take squats, I would recommend it. Build your core and your legs.
I missed the 10 lb rifle note. 6.5 CM is plenty for sheep, 300 WSM is a great cartridge too. If I had a 10lb sheep rifle, I would be looking to cut 2 to 2.5 pounds.
