Your gear is ready, you have your tag(s), but will you be physically ready to enjoy your hunt and make it a success?  Don't be the limiting factor in your own adventure. Get yourself ready to enjoy every step! 

Specially designed to give you the strength, endurance and confidence to go where you need to go on your upcoming hunts. Your physical fitness can make the difference between filling your freezer and going home with your tag in your pocket.  The last days of the hunt are when you know the area and the animals behavior the best but will you have the physical ability to capitalize on that knowledge? We can ensure you will have the staying power to hunt as hard as you want for the duration of your hunt.  

Hate the gym? Love the gym? Travel a lot? This program gives you the flexibility to complete the workouts wherever you are with or without equipment.  All you need is a  desire to get better.  

If you are looking for flashy exercises or a program based on the latest trends and fashions, this program is NOT for you.  We use the same sound scientific principles in this program that we use with our special forces soldiers, to get hunters of all levels ready for their next hunt.  Our goal is to ensure you have the ability to hunt the way you want this year, and for many years to come by selecting safe and challenging exercises and progressing them in a proven way over the next 16 weeks.  This is a proven program and we are confident it will work for you, if you put in the work.    

We are called to the wilderness. Do not let your physical ability be the limiting factor in living out your dreams. Make sure you are ready for your next hunting trip.  Using tried and true training techniques developed by Head Coach Jason Dudley from his experience with Army Special Forces, Average Joe's, in the NFL, in Division 1 athletics and many others, this program will ensure a safe and steady progression over the next 4 months to get you ready for your hunting season.  

Have an old injury or lingering pain that is limiting you?? Our daily warms-ups are designed specifically to improve the way your body moves over time.  Like any machine, when it moves well it can move for a long period of time without issue.  

We will have 3 evaluation weeks throughout the program to track your progress as you go.  It is easy to get lost in the grind and not think you are making progress.  These weeks will show you just how far you have come. 

There are a combination of lifting days and conditioning days.  The first half will have 3 lifting days to build up the necessary strength and body control to protect your body under load and then we will transition to just 2 lifting days a week the last half of the program to spend more time on conditioning.  You will need both strength and stamina to ensure a safe, enjoyable and successful trip.
