As part of our ongoing series designed to prepare listeners for the fall deer hunting season, this episode of the Fair Chase podcast features a conversation with Todd Bumgardner.
A seasoned strength and conditioning coach, Todd gives us an insight into his 17-year-long career and how he is shaping hunters and outdoorsmen to meet the physical demands of their lifestyle.
In our deep dive, Todd shares his unique perspective on the intersection of physical fitness and hunting, dispelling the stereotype of the "unfit" hunter. As the owner of a gym in Northern Virginia and founder of the "Human Predator Pack Mule" program, he emphasizes on the need for fitness training that goes beyond traditional gym workouts.
From hinging (deadlifting) to squatting, pushing, pulling, and carrying, Todd outlines exercises that align closely with the real-world physical demands of hunting.
Learn about the common mobility deficiencies that Todd often notices among people due to sedentary lifestyles, and how flexibility and mobility enhancements can significantly improve a hunter's ability to remain hidden and silent during stalking scenarios.
