The Athlete's Approach to Hunting
Acknowledging the physical toll of the hunting season, it's evident that a period of recovery and strength rebuilding is crucial. Many hunters lose significant strength after hunting seasons. That's where the MTNTOUGH Backcountry Hunter Postseason Program steps in. Designed with the understanding that hunters are athletes in their own right, this program is tailored to restore and build upon the muscle and strength that may have waned during the exhaustive hunting season. Alternatively, if your fitness goal is simply to build functional strength and pack on muscle, this is the ticket.
Mind and Body: The Most Important Gear
Great gear is game changing. Great gear is game changing. However, your mindset and physical ability are the most important factors when it comes to repeat success in the backcountry. Whether it's ensuring you can climb the next mountain, calm your heart rate down for the shot, pack out the bull or maintain a constant state of fitness, having that always ready mentality is your most important piece of “gear.”
The High Stakes of the Hunt
Hunting, much like high-intensity endurance sports, demands a unique blend of strength, endurance and mental fortitude. Each season, hunters navigate treacherous terrain, endure brutal elements and engage in the kind of sustained physical activity that rivals the most grueling athletic pursuits. It's a test of wills where the hunter must be as resilient as the game they pursue.
A Year-Round Pursuit of Excellence
Hunting is more than a seasonal activity; it's a year-round dedication to the pursuit. MTNTOUGH isn't just about getting fit; it's about becoming an all-around, unstoppable force in the backcountry who trains year-round. This scientifically-backed regimen eschews the superficial in favor of what truly matters for a hunter: functional strength, power and the ability to handle anything the wilderness throws your way.
Winter: A Time to Forge Strength
While the world slows down in winter, a dedicated hunter's resolve should not. These quiet months are an opportune time to engage in a specialized strength program. The MTNTOUGH Post Season Strength Program is not a mere stop-gap, but, rather, a comprehensive plan to ensure that your body regains the exceptional strength it may have lost during the hunt and to prepare you for MTNTOUGH’s Spring Training Program before taking it up a notch with Pre-Season 2.0 training in the late spring/summer.
Building the Mountain Athlete
MTNTOUGH programs are the answer for those who live by the ethos that preparation is the key to success. It’s for the hunter who seeks to mirror the dedication seen in professional sports, where offseason is a misnomer and every day is an opportunity to become better. MTNTOUGH programs are for those who with a focus on packing on muscle and enhancing functional strength — all while building endurance.
