I started 5x5 weight training about 6 weeks ago. I strapped on my little girl (26lbs) and went for a 3 mile hike. All I can say is the squats have helped tremendously.

Working out at the high school stadium with a 20lb pack...up...and down....and up...and down....and up....and down... killer on the legs. Something tells me I am going to be sore tomorrow. Season is almost here for me![]()
Still hitting the gym and running. Last heavy hike before leaving will be Saturday morning!! Getting close everyone!!
Good luck Ricmic. It's mostly mental anyway. You'll be fine. You know what to expect. Can't wait to hear your stories as well.I'm jealous you guys. It sounds like many are hitting it hard. Unfortunately, I am still dealing with an arthritic hip that has limited my training. Never-the-less it may be mostly guts for a nine day Wyoming backpack hunt. If C.C. can still do it, then there is a way. Swimming and chopping wood will have to do for now. Good luck and safe hunting.
