[QUOTE="bruceleroy, post: 1812898, member: 86286"] It may seem a bit early but if you break down your year into training cycles it makes more sense. I am jumping the gun a bit though. February is what I really mean to begin your strength training cycle. This is the time to develop your big lifts and create a strength and power foundation to carry you forward as we approach archery season. If you are predominately a rifle hunter (October and on) then just adjust the time-frame. All the hunters I have trained have made the best progress in their fitness starting their heavy lifts early and sticking with it for 2-3 months depending on age, disabilities and, of course, overall goals. During the last half of the power cycle I have folks begin their cardio progression. The cardio progression lasts the entirety of the program. From there I suggest to people that they move into a performance phase that enables the building of performance movements (think sports movements) that demand the most muscle groups to work in unison. Then the cardio shifts into an endurance focus from this point (about mid to end of June) and together I help balance power maintenance, endurance progression, rest and mobility. I have found that this helps people thrive in the mountains, finish their days a lot less sore and exhausted. All that balanced with good sleep habits, good dietary habits and consistency will help you not miss out this fall due to lack of fitness. I hope this helps a few people out there. It is rather generic but It is a timeline that can be followed to become more powerful, stable, agile and last longer! [/QUOTE]
