Free MTNTOUGH Workout: "The Simulator" - Address Steep Slope Angles & Heavy Packouts w/ onX Hunt

[@PacificNorthwestBowhunting]

YES!! Block 3 is where you position your goals before the rational logic of your brain. I pack 50# all spring and summer to keep my lungs and legs fully engaged, especially on hill workouts. At age 55, I'm here to tell the younger guys that with every passing year, it's more and more difficult to come to terms with realities of aging. Your mind will remain at age 30 for decades, the trick is to keep your body conditioned well to avoid injury. That'll take you out of the game well before you need to reach for 'mental toughness'. This is an ass kicker that will benefit a lot of people - thank you!

[@mtntoughfitness]

Wise words. Thank you!

I did this workout for the first time in week 14 of the preseason prep 2.0 program and it was hard but a great workout!! I definitely recommend it!

[@JP-hy6ud]

Genius, I don't hunt but I like to hike with a heavy pack and bring comfort items. This will be perfect to condition for longer hikes

[@mtntoughfitness]

👍🏼 let us know how it treats you!

[@JoelLandon-uv6dq]

I'm looking forward to this so much and I'm not looking forward to this so much. I hope you can relate

[@mtntoughfitness]

Let us know how it goes!! Pain is good!

[@jeffrdnck7973]

I appreciate these videos, gave me some great ideas to tweak my training.

[@mtntoughfitness]

Glad to hear it!

[@christopherrobbins5712]

I'll be down in the plains of Colorado this fall, but I definitely need to find a plan to make a pack out at least bearable, I'm gonna give this a shot for sure!

[@mtntoughfitness]

Let us know how you like the workout! And good luck on CO!

[@esther12q]

Hell yeah, good stuff

[@mtntoughfitness]

Thanks! Let us know if you try it and how it goes!

[@AlexanderHiebert-on9ud]

Me - I'll just train in the bushes, ponds. And rocky spots when the snow is gone. That's what I'll be doing a lot. Also doing a lot if target practice on various sizes and ranges at different times of the day so that I can also train my eyes to see even in the darker tume or brighter

[@mtntoughfitness]

Good stuff man! Keep it up!

[@GrowHunting]

How many days a week are you programing this workout?

[@rasant8917]

Knock this one out today and it was a smoker! What’s the recommended frequency for this workout?

[@mtntoughfitness]

You can do this high intensity workout once a week with other days being focused on functional strength. If you want more guidance our programs integrate these sorts of workouts into a very hunting mission specific flow so you don't have to think about it. Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@jefferickson8782]

That workout is no joke! I don't have the sled, any ideas for a swap?

[@mtntoughfitness]

We got you. Here's a video on sled substitutions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioa5gXeseJKAqas

[@khippo23]

Back in highschool we'd pull a heavy rope or chain with tires or concrete blocks. (Tires recommend) Worked for football and wrestling.

[@MrRawlings20]

Hey MTNTOUGH, What’s the weight in the sled during the sled push?

[@mtntoughfitness]

Body weight. Dustin is doing 200 in this video.

[@FrodeLangen]

It seems like a great workout,I dont have a sled,What can i use instead?

[@mtntoughfitness]

We made a video on your exact question with demonstrations. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioa5gXeseJKAqassi=vvm3creygnZQHG21

[@nonamenoname1737]

How many times a week do you recommend we put this to work? 2x -3 x?

[@mtntoughfitness]

If you are mixing in functional strength training days a cardio/ruck day, this one would be good to throw in 1x per week at full high intensity max effort (assuming you’re working out 5x per week. This one is a great gage on if you’re ready to crush a pack out. If you struggle to get through it you need much more training. We follow a very specific pattern in our pre season training program if you want specifics feel free to start a free trial and check out the pre season 2.0 program and let us know if you have any questions. Cancel before the trial ends if it’s not for you 👍🏼

[@nonamenoname1737]

@@mtntoughfitness copy that! Appreciate the shout back! How much weight on those forward and reverse sled pulls?
