I'm tired of being so lazy, I'm in decent shape now but would like to be pretty ripped come season. What are some work outs that you guys are doing?

"Getting ripped" is 80% diet. But I guess it also depends on what your definition of "ripped" is. Single digit body fat?

HITT cardio and weights. I wouldn't waste money on crossfit. You can do the same thing on your own without paying the ridiculous prices. If it were me going to CO, Id focus on endurance (long distance running) and leg strength (lunges, squats, etc). Throw in some burpees, box jumps, mountain climbers and six or so one minute ab workouts in every routine.

You wouldn't have much to worry about if you were in the single digit body fat range. The lowest I've ever been was 12% and that was 3 years of extreme low carb intake, cardio, and weight training.

Yeah I didn't mean to get yoked, just in really good shape and also hopefully flip the switch a little faster on my wife. I have been doing lunges and some long walking and bike riding, pelvic thrusts as well to build up strength from an injury.

Easy ...sign up for "train to hunt" work outs online it's like $19 a month(got videos also). Can Do most of them at home.

Best mountain work out is with a pack on in my experience.


I'm alittle extreme but I only work out from March to Sept
I do stability circuit training twice a week, weights/core 5 days a week and 32 stories of stairs with 100lbs three times a week.

Only worksouts I have that take more then 30 mins are my stability circuits (but they are pure hell). These are my joint rehab work outs.




Donate to TX Youth hunting program.... better to donate then to waste it in taxes

The only real advantage crossfit has is if you cant self motivate and group workouts are better. Its hard to quit in front of a crowd.

Then your diet is all wrong. I used to go from 13.5-14 down to 8 and visa versa in about 3 months. Foods are measured, weighed and eaten at exact times. All workouts and cardio are timed around it. Also I used to work out with several guys that were well within single digits, including myself, that couldn't run two miles if we had to. The type of workout and how you have your macros lined out will determine what your results will be.

I hit the heavy bag in my garage HARD for 15 minutes, pushups until I can do no more, then generally flail weakly at the bag for another 5, twice a day. For roadwork I jog 15 minutes Tuesday and Thursday, 30 minutes Saturday. I'm 48, soon to be 49, with bad knees.

you can do a lot of what crossfit gyms do at your own house but not even close to all of it unless you have a pretty bad*** home gym, and like someone said, its really hard to quit in front of a group of your peers.

walk with your backpack with some weight in
it and the boots you intend to wear hunting.
increase the weight as you progress until it
is at least the same weight as the load you
intend to carry hunting. walk as far as you
intend to walk when you're on your hunt.
carry a piece of cut off oak limb in your
hands to simulate the weight of carrying your rifle.
wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt. carry
water. you should be able to walk a long way
without huffing and puffing by the time you're
ready to go. good luck

Cardio and basic weight training is what works for me. Eat healthy carbs (oatmeal, brown rice, wheat bread etc.) and high protein intake. In no time you will feel great not only physically but mentally.

I don't work out to get huge. I workout for what I need and thats to be able to carry myself all day and lift myself out of danger.

80% is diet to keep body weight within limits of my strength.

Deadlifts- 1.5-2x body weight
Squats- 1-1.5x body weight (ATG)
Pull ups- (if you cant do a pull up good luck- not being rude)
Cadio- burpies, box jumps, push ups, row, stair master- repeat
Running- NO- Save my knees for squats
Kettle bell swings- golden full body

Hope I am in the orthopedic business when all the cross-fitters are 60yo.

Either running or hiking with a 50lb pack for 3 miles each day. Plus trying to hit an hour on the treadmill desk at work to keep the juices flowing.

Elk hunting is about cardio and leg strength. And being able to carry a pack loaded with 75 pounds of elk meat up and down the mountain 4 or 5 times. Unless you're using a horse...in that case you don't really have to do squat.

I was in that group.

Don't do that cross fit crap. Lift some weights, eat right, and maybe a little cardio.

RUM MANN, they are kind of like squats. I was taught to hold onto a table or something sturdy and has a good grip and basically do a squat, when I'm close to the ground I shove myself up and forward (thrust) as fast and hard as possible. Been doing these for a week now, 5 sets for as long as I can (only lasting about a minute per set right now but improving)
