[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 1267926, member: 20657"] IMO WHAT A DICK! IMO if you can't bench 350lb and squat 400lb then you're not in shape. That's just my opinion, I guess you can quantify being able to walk 10 mi up hill both ways to school and back with an 80lb pack 16 times a day as being in shape enough to kill an elk, but that's not really what the dude asked. The question was simple. If limited to 3 exercises what would they be? I'm a big *** guy who is exceptionally strong in some areas but not as strong in others, like most of us are. Running is not my game, picking up heavy **** is my game. Does that mean I can't hunt elk? Nope, I've been lucky enough to bag two nice elk on two of the LRH group hunts and I've done it by both being very lucky and also simply getting in as good a shape as I possibly could with what I had to work with. I'm not skinny and I'm not gonna get skinny. I ran a 5k before I left for the last hunt and I considered that in shape enough for me. That is just my opinion, but in all honesty I simply can't imagine how a dude can't put some stock in core lifts such as the clean, dead, and bench like the OP is talking about in this thread.
