[QUOTE="KurtB, post: 1149071, member: 2106"] Interesting thread and hope the OP achieves his goals. A couple of random thoughts regarding guys I have hunted with over the years and my own experiences. I've had two non hunters who were avid mountain and road biking athletes. They wanted to tag along to "experience" a hunt with me on a couple of occasions. They never stopped for air and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the outings. I mean it was kind of amazing to me and they weren't young guys. Lean body mass and excellent cardio shape. At 6'7" with 230 pounds on my frame, I am moving about 60 more pounds of body mass then they were as well. I'd like to think that I could move weight off the hill easier than them, but I think they could easily just carry smaller loads multiple times off the mountain. So I guess if I was picking an ideal mountain body, which a guy can't do, it would be around 6 foot tall and maybe 175 pounds. Since we can't do that, my plan this year is to hit the bike much harder than years past and do light weights and high reps while lifting. Good luck to the OP and the others who posted. Merry Christmas as well. [/QUOTE]
