On this episode, Adam, Wardo, and the mastermind behind the BTK training program, Jer, discuss planning for next year and why priority-based, intentional training is critical for the dedicated mountain or backcountry hunter.
It’s a wide ranging conversation covering mistakes they’ve all made in the past, how to assess what the right program is for wherever you are in your fitness journey, how to prioritize your training goals and methods, why cramming your fitness into a condensed timeframe is problematic, training with longevity in mind, and so much more.
Now that the most demanding hunts of the 2022 season are, for the most part, behind us, this is THE time to look back on what worked and what didn’t and make adjustments to your training plans for 2023.

Carrying on from last week’s episode focused on pesky low-back pain, Wardo covers how your hips relate to low-back problems, as well as other commonly sore/injured body parts. Do you need to stretch more or get stronger? Wardo answers this question by explaining why you need to understand the difference between a mobility issue and a stability issue.
As a simple primer:
Mobility Issue = Stretch, roll it, treat it.
Stability Issue = Strengthen it, train it, learn to use it.

On this episode, Adam welcomes John Barklow back to the show to talk about the principles of staying warm, dry, and focused while enduring long sits in cold weather.
Although this episode focuses predominantly on whitetail hunting, the principles covered apply to any form of hunting where cold temperatures and long periods of inactivity -- be that in the stand or glassing – are the norm.
