    Outdoorsman's Atlas Trainer

    It's not adjustable. If the frame isn't the same size as an Alice frame it won't fit. Even if it fit I wouldn't bolt it to my Eberlestock frame for fear it would wreck the frame.

    Outdoorsman's Atlas Trainer

    I use the Load Trainer. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world as anyone who's carried an Alice pack knows. I've loaded it up to 115# for 3.5mi and 700 vert ft of gain/loss. I've carried 80# for 1,780 vert ft of gain/loss over 12mi.

    What constitutes a good training program?

    Ok I'm actual coach. I don't coach on the internet at all. I work with some of the best endurance and ultra endurance athletes in the world.

    Kettlebell

    I I do the swings and get ups as a warm up before my main lifts. Get ups I normally do 5 per side with bells lighter than 36kg and 3 per side with bells 36kg or heavier. Sometimes I will do 1 on each side with loads 48kg and up.

    What constitutes a good training program?

    Endurance is capillary density. The best way to improve capillary is time out consistently moving. That is best measured in hours, not miles. Far too many people have bought into demanding cardiovascular activity. The cardiovascular system responds to the demands of skeletal muscle. Running on...

    What constitutes a good training program?

    I'm not arguing. Strength training is an indispensable part of programming. If I had two days a week to train I would choose to strength train, keep my diet super tight and walk everywhere I could. I may not be in perfect shape for the milage. I will be strong enough to handle the loads and...

    What constitutes a good training program?

    More is not better Better is better More will not set you up for a chronic use injury but it will also lead you to a point of diminishing returns.

    What constitutes a good training program?

    Everything you do is based on a percentage of your absolute strength. The stronger you are the easier everything else is.

    What constitutes a good training program?

    This is completely true. "Cardio" is a marketing term. What you're trying to build is endurance. Endurance happens first in the muskuloskeletal system and the cardiovascular system responds to the needs of the working muscles. Building endurance on a physiological level is a matter of...

    What constitutes a good training program?

    A good training program? My professional opinion is a program that addresses Specific Physical Preparation first and foremost. For hunting that's rucking and hiking. At least here in the Rocky Mountain west it is. General Physical Preparation secondarily. GPP for hunters is absolute strength...

    Kettlebell

    Yes Charles Staley, Hermann Goerner, Arthur Saxon, and the list goes on...... I definitely stand on the shoulders of giants

    Kettlebell

    Day 2 and 4 are both kettlebell front squat workouts. Swings, snatches and cleans are all hip hinges. Turkish get ups have bridges and lunges in them. I trap bar deadlift once a week. I don't do anything in isolation except neck work.

    Losing fat and maintaining muscle the gold standard

    No The food you ate the night before is what's fueling your a.m. training and the "anabolic window" is a myth. https://breakingmuscle.com/healthy-eating/fasting-does-not-negatively-affect-muscle-gain https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3639860/

    Losing fat and maintaining muscle the gold standard

    If you have significant fat to lose you may even gain muscle. Sadly, like so many things that are fitness related there's an overwhelming amount myths and misinformation surrounding body re-composition. This is largely because of marketing...
