[QUOTE="soren, post: 1206572, member: 10929"] I'm going to put in my two cents here. I used to be one of those guys who put too much effort in a big bench, 350 nice, but it won't help you on your hunt. You need to drop weight and put more effort into exercise that will be more productive for the hunt. Squats and DL's are good, but I would drop them at this point to avoid injury....at least the squats. You need to work more on movements ie. stairclimbing, planks, hyper extensions/roman chair for lower back, farmer carry w/ dumbells, overhead dumbell press, cycling. Get a chest harness for tire drags. Think hips, thighs, back and shoulders as far as strength goes. I wouldn't run too much at your weight...save the knees. Last time I was in Colorado hunting one of my fellow hunters brought along two 15 year old kids. These skinny kids had no problem walking up the mountains compared to us adults who were loaded down with our size and gear. Weight really matters up there. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
