Mountain Tactical's Military Athlete Stuff
His stuff is pretty good. I used to follow it when he posted workouts for free. Now that he charges for it, I don't, plus he used to be pretty responsive and helpful, now not so much. I think the press he's gotten has gone to his head. Try crossfit.com, and sealfit.com. Read 'starting strength' by Mark Rippetoe as well. I find I'm well prepared for most of my objectives with about 4-5 sessions a week of mtnathlete style workouts (Grand Teton, Rainier (lib ridge), weekend warrior stuff) You have to work up to it and ease into it.
For flatland desk jockey's (like myself) I find it is far and away the most time-efficient and effective way to train. I am working through his 'Big Mountain' program now. Good stuff, 1 hour of solid work 5 days a week.
After a couple years of CrossFit, I am finding the MA program more of a long grind versus a sprint of many routine CrossFit workouts. If your routine has been a few weights and lots of running/biking, etc.
The MA program or the programs bird mentioned will no doubt increase stength, which proves handy in many aspects of my life, my climbing included. Oh, and I am having a ball doing it (although the workouts may not seem like much fun when you are doing them)! Sshankle wrote:I am working through his 'Big Mountain' program now.

Reps for female athletes? The bulk of the plan is self-scaling - meaning it automatically adjusts difficulty to the strength of the athlete. The one exception is pull ups. In this case, the first number is the rep count for women, and the second number is the rep count for men. For example:!3 Rounds!2/3x Pull Ups every 30 seconds.

Oh, and I am having a ball doing it (although the workouts may not seem like much fun when you are doing them)! Awesome, I was thinking about getting the Big Mountain routine in preparation for Denali next May. I've been doing, as you described, a few weights and lots of cardio up until now. Kind of bummed at how expensive the routines are. I don't suppose you'd be willing to send me that.pdf would you?
Hello,I know theres some people here using these plans, Im wondering if anybody can give me some insight to them. I think I train fairly hard but I think my workouts are getting a bit stale and Id like to start getting onto a 'plan' rather than just doing workouts. I do plenty of sprints, Pull Ups, jump rope and rucking but because of where I live, theres no gym.In fact, theres not even any good hills where I live in AK so step ups would be really beneficial to me.Who's using the plans, how is it? I have a sandbag, some dumbells, a pack, space to run.no gym stuff though.Thanks!!! What do you want to know? I am on week 2 of the big game right now, its aggressive but I'm surprised how well I'm adapting.
I wouldn't have likely pushed myself this hard or in the same manner if just throwing something together on my own. I've had some sore spots and such but I'm recovering well.
Its surprising how much the day 3 run worked loose the legs for day 4 for instance. Its alot of newer activities for me so I'm currently entertained for most and for the long step up sessions I just listen to podcasts. I posted this in the stone glacier thread:In summary its legs/core/lungs. Basically 8 weeks of:Day 1: Shit ton of step ups with 40# pack and some core work after (sand bag getups, halo swings, etc)Day 2: Quad crushing lunges and pushup rows alternating in the morning and 75# pack hikes in afternoonDay 3: RunningDay 4: Similar to day 1Day 5: Similar to day 2Day 6: Long session grinds mixing packing, core routines, running. Start at 90min and builds to 210min.

Weeks 4 and 8 this is a rest day though.Day 7: Rest.The specific details, duration, etc. Vary but that is more or less the plan. I have done some of their stuff. There is free stuff out there, and some of it is great.

The difference with Military/Mountain Athlete is that it was designed specifically for certain goals and tested to achieve that goal. Most of it is much more sport-specific than a typical Strength and Conditioning program. I really like the Sandbag/weight vest/dumbbell plan they offer. The Afghan prep program would also probably be very good for a hunter (it is for 'hunters' after all.) and only use some minimal equipment items.For year-round fitness you don't necessarily want to train highly sport-specific for the whole year. Some great material on all this is here:A Military/Mountain plan with kettlebells:Lots can be done with only a kettlebell and a pull-up bar. Definitely agree. The big game prep is an 8week ramp to hammer on legs/core/lungs from your rear round baseline.For males the gear on that is a pack (with ballast at 25lb, 40lb, 75lb if I recall right in my glancing), 25# dumbells, 60# rubber mulch sandbag, 16' step box, and a hand counter is handy to keep track of the long step up sessions.I haven't decided on a name for my sandbag yet but that pig will earn one sooner or later, its earned some grass and blood stains so far (cut on my finger opened up that I needed to tape when I noticed it).
