[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1268042, member: 33822"] I'm a big guy too and strong, but not in your class on either. But all my hunting buddies are smaller/lighter than me and they can hike circles around me especially uphill simply because they are lighter. The mountains are very unforgiving when it comes to body weight. But last time I checked it's not a race and I love just being outside. So it doesn't matter how slow I go, I will get there. but being big does have some advantages especially when it comes to dealing with elk. So the way I look at is I work very hard at my weaknesses (cardio, running) and be smart with my strength by doing moves like thrusters on the lighter side rather than heavy squats. Try doing three or four sets of thrusters at 20 reps each set with 95 lbs. if that's to easy for you then up the reps. I've taken some time off since hunting I doubt I could do that workout right now... so I'll be working back up to that through January and February. [/QUOTE]
