[QUOTE="Montucky Roamer, post: 2197999, member: 100692"] Awesome work! That's good to hear! To be clear, I DO think the best way to train for a thing , is doing THAT thing. However, if one doesn't have mountains to go hike and 8-12 hours per week to spend doing that ,then what should one do? Hiking with a pack of moderate weight at low to moderate intensity for 1 - 8hrs at a time(shed hunting!) is great for building the base and would be great if you can fit one session in per week for starters. Now for HIIT, there are countless ways to put together a workout for this. Sample: with dumbbells( maybe 40#?) 5 rounds for quality and time. Rest one minute between rounds. 10 deadlifts 10 front squats 10 press 10 rows 10 pushups on the dumbbells I think it's best to avoid technical lifts such as the olympic lifts, or real heavy squats or deads while in a fatigued state. Also, simple and sinister kettlebell training is wonderful. The book by Pavel is worth it. Basically, 100 single arm swings , 10 per arm alternate arms. Rest a bit , then do 10 Turkish get ups. 1 at a time, taking your time. Also, try this. High intensity strength training. Load pack heavy enough( for example, I use about 100# now but start lower around 50 maybe?) I'm also fairly big so it's all relative) that each step up on a less than knee high box is tiring after a few. I set up a interval timer app on phone to keep a pace of a step up every few seconds with a 3 second break between steps. Start at a 10 min session and work up to 20. 1 session per week is enough. Add a second of you want tho. Can add time and weight as needed. Supposedly, this helps train that new fast twitch muscle to have some endurance. Sweat will roll, and it sorta sucks , but it's a slower pace yet taxing , different feel. Like packing meat. Rucking too often with super heavy packs will grind you down so I don't recommend ,bit these short session seem ideal. [/QUOTE]
