Guess it never occurred to this guy that people train for health and longevity. Not necessarily to brag about how much we could bench.

Triggered once again LOL
You're so predictable
It must get exhausting being triggered by everything that doesn't conform to your life choices?

At least I take the time to read it. I must have some respect for your opinion.

I liked this article. I’ve noticed I was stronger last year going into hunting season than ever before but had done less cardio than in most years previous. Felt better last hunting season than I ever had. Pack outs were way easier and climbing the hills was way better.

I’ve focused this off season on getting stronger and doing more “cardio” that seems to replicate actual hunting situations(steep treadmill walks, fast paced weighted step ups, rucking) and less on running a few miles. Thanks for the article

My only real complaint with the article, which I generally agree with, is the lack of mentioning the fact that more muscle mass requires additional oxygen causing one to get winded faster. If you can gain strength, or neuromuscular condition without adding additional mass, that’s ideal. Just do t want people to read this and think simply getting bigger/stronger will make the mountains easier. To me, a balanced approach of improving VO2max and strength is best. If you can do those two things, you’ll have a better experience in the mountains.
