    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.

    Do you feel like that combo was adequate? What brand bag was it? Some bags are truer to ratings

    penny wise, pound foolish?

    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...

    Military Surplus Rain Gear Experienes

    I still have mine from when it was issued to me. I would not recommend it. As others have said, it is heavy and does not breath well.

    Physical preparation of my first sheep hunt.

    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.

    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.

    Dall sheep hunting Brooks Range

    Only one Dall sheep hunt experience here, with second one booked. Train as hard as you can without risking injury. It will make your hunt more enjoyable. Find a way to train with a pack and gain elevation. I had wet feet most of my hunt. Extra socks would have been nice.

    Sleeping bag for brooks range

    I know you have a lot of experience and I agree for the most part. I will probably follow that philosophy and bring a 0 degree kuiu bag to be comfortable, but a pound here or there is not mental. It has a scientifically proven impact on performance. If it was just mental, horse jockeys...

    Training for sheep hunt in 2021

    How far from your hunt did you start their program, or more importantly, when do you recommend starting their program. Should I start now... 18 months out?

    Training for sheep hunt in 2021

    I need to drop down to 215 for the sheep hunt, but thinking about holding the 10-15lbs until 3-4 months out to keep my body used to the extra weight. I plan to keep this routine until this summer. Then combine my push and pull lift days into one day, so I can add an extra day of cardio. 6...
