The PH is a pretty slick setup, just received mine a few weeks back from a January order. Lower stock is the CA Ridgeline OEM, ridiculous difference in shooter comfort.
Agreed. The guys I know still get paid to break things and blow stuff up, and to their credit, they still maintain an excellent level of anaerobic capacity. Aerobic conditions + significant elevation increase + sustained output is just not what the beefcake approach excels at.
I think last year...
I haven’t seen anything that conclusively says the trap bar is less of a lift, you’re already on the right path if you’re doing them.
I’m talking straight meathead. I have a few in my crew who are absolute silverbacks but can’t figure out why they gas out after a few miles.
I would call that...
5 minute warm up on assault bike
2x warm up sets per lift
3x3 @ 80%
- Overhead Press
- Front Squat
- Hang Clean
Finish:
2x6 60M Hill sprints, 4 minute rest in between sets
Truer words have never been said 👍
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the photos you put up, not a day goes by that I don’t miss waking up to see mountains.

Best part of being American is the freedom to go where you like, I’ve yet to meet a state I didn’t find something amazing about. If San Diego wasn’t in California I would have moved there in a heartbeat…but it is, and our views on firearms just don’t jive.
#1 beneficial lift for hunting: Deadlifts
Why: Direct connection to strength of posterior chain (lower back to ankles) and core (lower back and abdominals).
Practical application: Anything involving a backpack, to include packout, will be easier. You will be less likely to sustain an injury...
First:
For time // 4 rounds
- 1x weighted pull up (53# KB)
- 6x body weight pull up
- 1x weighted dip (53# KB)
- 12x body weight dip
- 18x knee to elbow
- 24x weighted 18” step ups, each leg (40# ruck)
- 400m run
Then:
1 mile farmers carry with DBs (2x25#)
*100 jumping jacks every time you put...
A rifle’s 100 yard zero doesn’t shift because you change environment.
Negative, Ghost Rider. Unless you just enjoy shooting in new places, you should be confirming/truing your new drop chart on location, at a distance relative to your maximum effective range.
Nailed it. 👍
Lot of good advice here, the other, more obvious answer is:
In all seriousness, take your kit out, fill your water bottles, hike around, mimic all of the things you are going to do, and keep a running list of everything you use.
Anything you don’t touch is suspect with three exceptions:
1) med...
It’s probably not the frame, it’s more likely a strap or actual fabric of the pack creating friction with your movement. Electrician’s tape or silicone spray work like a champ.
Quick break from the heckling…
This is an awesome format. I appreciate what the Rokslide team did to put this together, prizes or not. It’s simple things like this that confirm/deny limitations and reinforce the sense of community beyond the internets. For that, I say thank you.
