[QUOTE="CoachChris, post: 2147832, member: 12508"] DOMS = Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. The post exercise soreness you are referring to. No "training isn't rocket science" it's sports science. Like any other science there are principles that need to be adhered to in order to achieve the desired outcome. Intuition and anecdote are very poor, even injurious, paths to follow when it comes to training. Hunting, at least western big game hunting is, for this purpose, a Strength-Endurance sport. There is a very clear distinction between "training" and "working out". Training is about specific, carefully calculated effort that leads to results in the future. Training is complex. Working out is random effort for the moment that doesn't lead to results in the future. Working out is simple. Intuition and anecdote are fine for "working out". A lot of misinformation surrounds the topic of "training for the mountains" which of course includes hunting. The vast majority of this is spread through threads like this where people make subjective, blanket, anecdotal claims that are taken as truth. They're not truths. As far as an "expert" I don't know that I'm an "expert". I am a professional Strength and Conditioning Coach. I work with some of the best professional ultra-endurance and mountain sports athletes in the world. Many of whom I have had to help overcome injury sustained by following intuition and anecdote. Some their own. Others from "coaches" who were following their intuition and anecdote. What I am is a diligent and successful student of my craft. [/QUOTE]
