[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1327267, member: 101859"] I live in Elk country. I like to lift, but for getting around in the mountains I dont think you can beat the stair climber, with a pack if you can do it. I do squats and all the other lifts too, but 10 reps of squats is not gonna help you do 10,000 reps up a mountain. Train for what your gonna do. And do cardio like crazy, I live at 5200 ft, and even going up to 7000-8000 is a big difference. Trust me, your squat numbers are not gonna do anything for you up here when your gasping for air. Lean, good lungs, and cardio. I know guys that will smoke up a mountain that have never been to a gym, its all in the lungs. [/QUOTE]
