Getting a couple more stands set for you tomorrow. Get a dang bow and let's get this started!

 

[Joshua Lynch]

@TWP I'm trying my brother. Training my A$$ off!! I'm dying to start shooting.

Joshua,

What kind of bow are you looking for? I have a nice Hoyt Gamemaster you can use until you get your own if you'd like. It's a recurve, but it's a bow none the less.

 

[Joshua Lynch]

@Justinspicher- Thanks man. I should be getting a compound sometime soon. I really appreciate the offer.

 

[justinspicher]

No problem, I hope you get it soon!

Just a quick update...
I've been busting my butt in the gym and on the pavement. Strength and cardio are both way up! My body seems to be responding well to the TTH program. I've mostly been suffering through the "Predator" workouts to the point where i'm DEAD but have opted into the "warrior" a few times. I'll be getting a proper back country pack soon and making a video highlighting that. Before that even I'm thinking about doing a second baseline video to see how much I've improved. I did acquire a nicer camera that will be an upgrade from my iphone that i've been using. Thanks again for the support. I've been using the community as daily motivation to keep working hard, I'll say to myself "I wonder how hard Brock A worked today" or "Phil M wouldn't quit on this round". Put my head down and keep grinding!! Hope to see you all this summer!

This is really cool, good on you and best of luck reaching your goal!!

 

[J Gilbert]

Good luck, I'll be following along with a lot of interest- sounds like you're taking great steps to get where you want to be

 

[Joshua Lynch]

[Manosteel]

Wow! Crazy good improvement, congrats!

 

[Brock A]

Did you sandbag your original base line test ;-)

 

[RamDreamer]

I'll echo what has been said here already. This is pretty darn cool and good luck to you along the way! With the rokslide community and TTH in your corner you will achieve great things!

BIG QUESTION!! What unit should I hunt??? I've been hitting the books and reading all I can. I want to park the truck, pack in, set up base camp, and hunt from there, maybe bring some lamas to help pack in and pack out. idk. Good wilderness hunt where I have good opportunity to get the tag, glass some mountain sides, and see some elk. Preferably in Colorado, but open to suggestions for sure! I was thinking I could put in for a few units in CO and make the trip up to Idaho if I don't get the tags in CO.

Try throwing your question up in the ELK category. You will get more hits there.

Wanted to share this with Rokslide. The Mobility WODs have really help me combat my reoccurring elbow and knee pain. Here is a video i put together demoing a way to use them. Basically wrap it up tight, stretch and massage as long as you can stand it.

Hello All,
This week I'm doing a podcast with Kenton Clairmont, Founder of Train to Hunt. Any questions y'all want me to ask him from the RokSlide Community?

 

[Joshua Lynch]

Here is an update on what I've been doing daily to prepare for the Train to Hunt Competition and the 2015 Elk woods.

Joshua how have you liked using the elevation mask? Do you think it's helping?

 

[afteamroper]

I am not Josh but, I have been using one of the same masks for awhile. It in my opinion does nothing for altitude training. But it does work great for building your diaphragm muscles and building your metal ability to be able to complete a workout no matter how bad you want to quit or take the mask off. I think the mental toughness I have gotten out of it has been the biggest advantage. I have seen some improvement in my ability to recover after workouts as well. My breathing and heart rate recover a lot faster now.
