Use code "45LBPLATE" @ https://mtntough.com 🇺🇸 Merch: https://mtntough.com/collections/merch The Postseason Strength 2.0 program addresses a key need for backcountry hunters and athletes: rebuilding strength after a physically demanding season. Many lose muscle mass due to intense cardio, and this program provides a strategic strength progression to replenish and elevate baseline strength while maintaining optimal function and athleticism. Drawing on five years of insight and testing in the MTNTOUGH Lab, this comprehensive regimen helps athletes feel strong and healthy within its approach to traditional strength training. By intentionally focusing on lower-risk, high-reward movements like hip thrusts, heavy step-ups, and Bulgarian split squats, we prioritize resilience and reducing stress on the spine after a long season of carrying heavy loads. The program takes a step away from Barbell Back Squats and highlights Barbell Deadlifts as one of the primary compound lifts each week. Other primary lifts include Military Press, Weighted Dips, and Weighted Pull-ups. Whether you're a hunter or someone looking to build resilience, this 16-week program is designed to boost strength while keeping you healthy for long-term performance.
