Pack on muscle with MTNTOUGH Post Season Strength 2.0, a 16-week program designed for backcountry hunters and athletes recovering from a grueling season. Evolved from five years of MTNTOUGH Lab testing, it rebuilds strength and resilience through three phases and primal conditioning days, using lower-risk, high-reward movements like hip thrusts, heavy step-ups, and barbell deadlifts. Tailored for rugged terrain, it enhances functional strength and joint health with video demonstrations and supporting PDFs, ensuring long-term performance for hunters and non-hunters alike.

Ramp Up Week: Eases you into fundamental movements, focusing on range of motion, balance, and stability to assess your starting strength and conditioning level.

Phase 1 (Weeks 2-5): Reestablishes movement patterns using bodyweight, dumbbells, and bands, emphasizing joint health, balance, and stability with minimal barbell work and basic sled pushes/pulls.

Phase 2 (Weeks 6-14): Progresses through compound lifts (deadlifts, military press, weighted dips, pull-ups, hip thrusts) and isolateral movements (Bulgarian split squats, step-ups), increasing sled loads and shifting accessory movements, prehab exercises, and rep counts every three weeks for new stimuli.

Phase 3 (Weeks 15-16): Tests strength endurance with consistent primary lifts but varied rep schemes and higher volume for maximum challenge.

Primal & Conditioning Days: Weekly primal days with Turkish get-up progressions aid active recovery and mobility, while one weekly conditioning day tests mental toughness and grit.

Note: Not a beginner program. Complete “Gym Foundation” first in the MTNTOUGH+ app. Progress to “Spring Training Camp 2.0” or other advanced programs.

FORMAT: Follow along and self-guided workouts via supporting PDFs, accessible on any device via the MTNTOUGH+ app (other programs available in the app).

DURATION: Sixteen-week program with four workouts per week, split into three phases (Ramp Up, Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3).

WORKOUT LENGTHS: 60-90 minutes, including warmups, strength and conditioning circuits, and cool downs.

GEAR: Full gym setup—cardio machines (assault bike, rower, or treadmill), barbells, free weights, sandbags, sled, backpack, dumbbells, bands, pull-up bar (modifications available).
