The Alpha Program: Workout #1
Welcome to the Alpha Workout Program where we will be releasing bi-weekly workouts specifically designed for hunting endurance, strength, mental toughness, and recovery. From high-intensity cardiovascular endurance workouts to build stamina to hunt longer and farther, to strength series' to build your bases for when your pack-outs are heavy, and to the recovery aspect of training to keep you in the game for years to come.
We preach that mountain hunting demands a unique set of physical abilities to traverse through rugged and vast country, endure long hours of trekking, and the importance of making accurate shots under pressure and exhaustion. We have created this series to help you become the most deadly version of yourself.
The Equipment
We try to make all of our workouts doable from the gym or home. This workout requires very little equipment, only yourself, a timer (we used our phone), and a pull-up bar.
The Workout
