    Training for sheep hunt in 2021

    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.

    Training for sheep hunt in 2021

    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.

    Height and weight

    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.

    Military Surplus Rain Gear Experienes

    Dall sheep hunting Brooks Range

    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.
