“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.”
Wise words from Churchill, a speech made at the Harrow School that completely solidifies what a predator mentality at traintohunt is all about. This is our battle cry, we cannot give in to our weaknesses… read more…

Hey Dan- I hope all is going well for you. I’ve been reading some of your posts on bowsite about getting in shape and something hit me tonight. I think you’re missing the boat on fitness for hunting as far as the whitetail guys are concerned. With Cam and Dwight and anyone else that’s pushing hunting fitness it’s all about hunting out west (primarily elk), but no one is focused on the whitetail guys. I’ve been lifting and working on my cardio quite a bit lately, partly to get in shape for the benefit of it, and partly to make things easier when I hang stands, drag out deer, and scout. I know it’s not the same thing as hunting out west, but the interest is in whitetails. I think there’s some room for your philosophy, knowledge, and drive in the whitetail world. Naturally, this is going to be a niche thing because a lot of whitetail hunters are fat, lazy, and simply don’t need to get in shape. But there are plenty of us who are limited primarily to whitetails that feel like being in shape is going to help our season. read more…

Mind – train the mind first and foremost
Nutrition – the base of our pyramid is what we fuel with
Regeneration – recovery constitutes more than half of our results
Transferability – do workouts that have a high degree of transferability to our sport of hunting. That means we train for movements, not muscles…bodybuilders isolate muscles, whereas transferable training should not. Mountains do not isolate muscles, why should we?
Work capacity – be proficient in all energy systems, not just the running or hiking engines.
Here is your hardCORE workout… pay attention to your technique and scale if applicable:

For Time:
We are not CrossFit (we do love CrossFit), P90x, Insanity, etc… we are primarily a template to make you a better predator and put you in peak performance for your event(s).
We use varied and periodized training to meet our hunting fitness objectives.
This is a process, we’ll continue to seek the best training methodology and its evolution will hopefully continue…
We want to improve your sport of hunting, mainly through performance. Everything read or viewed on this website is geared toward making you a well-rounded athlete. We will lead by example, we will prepare intelligently, and we’ll make this lifestyle contagious.
Performance & Competition lies in the woods, hills, mountains, and backcountry.
