🍂 Barbell Strength Training: The Game Changer for Bow Hunters 🏹
Imagine packing out 130lbs of elk. Now, imagine doing it feeling only half as exhausted. Here's how barbell strength training transformed the hunt for some of my clients:
🔹 Before: They could squat about 115lbs and deadlift about 150lbs.
🔹 Now: They're squatting and deadlifting over 300lbs and they did this in less than 6 months!
Why does this matter?
Effort Reduction: What used to require 25% of their max strength now only needs 12%. That's a significant drop in effort!
Better Recovery: They return to camp less tired, waking up refreshed, not sore.
The key concept to understand is that for effort reduction to decrease (sub maximal percentage drops), you have to increase your maximal strength in natural human movement patterns.
How did they achieve this?
Test Your Max: Discover your true strength with barbell exercises like squats, deadlifts, or bench press. The number on the barbell tells the truth of your strength.
Progressive Overload: Add a little weight each session. It's simple, but it works wonders.
