[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 972549, member: 6452"] I read something a while back I believe by Mark Twight, the trainer who got the actors for the movie "300" whipped in to shape. He was a professional mountain climber and was discussing cardio vs resistance training. He talked about deciding to cut his weight down by reducing diet and doing tons of cardio. He found out that when he was in the mountains he had no power to move himself or the gear he was carrying. I've found the same thing when backpacking. It's a full body work out carrying a load and scrambling up and over rocks. Having to man handle a deer and then get a ridiculously heavy pack off the mountain takes a lot more than runners legs. I still say walking a few miles regularly with a weighted pck combined with full body olympic style lifts has worked the best for me. Just moving around a 60 lbs sack of play sand will help tremendously and if you drop it it won't crack your floor or your foot. [/QUOTE]
