Lookin' good katt.
If you want a stronger core I would train it first. I always used to do it at the end but by then I was too tired to give it 100%. You could also throw in some stabilization work- like bird dogs, planks and some more rotational work too.
Just a thought...

Thanks Stewart - I am really liking it now! I realize that when it's over, I will lose some strength and size, but it's all good! Psychologically I think it'll be a peice of cake,,, just another chapter in the book - live & learn!

BB - I've thought of that also.. I have never done planks or bird dogs, I probably need to throw those in.

Brutus - come on over, we'll have a bbq!!! I'm very fortunate that I have the opportunity to hunt


We went to a bbq last night - was talking to some of the other gals from the gym on competing in April - I'm still on the fence about my leg growth, I think I need to do one heavy day and one light day a week to spark some growth, or go back to the drop sets like Jodi suggested and stick with it.. That's really the only thing that I'm concerned about right now - gawd I'm so insanely anal.... I guess someone made me this way for a reason, other than to drive my husband nuts.. haha

well katt, the weights just keep going up. that is great. it would be nice to see more women training with the intensity that it sounds like u have. they all want to be lean and minimal muscle. so wht kind of work do u do to get ready for hunting. and what do u hunt.

katt

Intense cardio on the stairmill.... although it's not even the same as when you get up in elevation, it's a pretty good pre-workout for the actual one Hunting is so insanely hard, both physical & mental.. We hunt elk, deer, bear and we have a mountain lion permit for safety purposes.. you have to get actually attacked before you can shoot one without a permit, and I don't really want that to happen.

katt

Thanks! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

bob-bag-o-bones

well if u do enough cardio, you can just outrun the cat, instead of shooting it.
your husband doesnt mind u being a hunter, a lot of guys like it for their time.

I know, stupid hard... Funny story, my second year of hunting we were walking back to camp (we are in 3 miles on a closed road).. we came across a guy (older - out of shape) from Colorado that was walking the road and told us that he hadn't seen a single elk since he'd been there. He bought an out of state tag and didn't know the terrain. We just chuckled and pointed up the hill into the pile of shit & brush, and said "they're up there" ... he's like...huh?????

We laughed for so long about that....

katt

Something about trying to take photos, while you retain water & feel like shit.... oh well... it's only 8 weeks, right?????

Damn. Katt, very impressive.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
