[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1267561, member: 8622"] I stay in reasonable shape at 60, lifting about three times a week, then, depending on the season, hiking, cycling, or cross-country skiing for my cardio. What makes me shake my head though is I know guys who are excellent and highly successful elk hunters... Who haven't been in a gym in 20 years, not since they were in high school. Hunt smart. Use your optics. Shoot well. Be in reasonable shape, however you get there. Me? I can't really do much with clean & jerk anymore. Injuries & subsequent repairs, but squats and straight leg deadlifts are part of my normal routine. I don't do much in the way of heavy lifting anymore. As you said - there seems to be high injury potential, and the last thing I need is yet another injury & surgery! Looks to me like you've got a pretty good lifting program going, and I'd urge you to keep it up! Good job. Best of luck this coming season! Guy [/QUOTE]
