HERE'S THE DEAL
Forget the “every workout has to crush you” myth. That thinking wrecks your long-term progress and leaves you broken when it matters most.
We’ve built the first hunting fitness system designed for the long game — based on human physiology, backed by training science. Year-round, progressive training that builds the right physical qualities, in the right order, so you get results and keep them. Productive workouts that fit your real life. Coaching that keeps you on track. Progress you can measure.
Because the goal isn’t to survive the mountain
— it’s to thrive on every hunt.

Optimizing Hunting Performance
Step 1: sign up & assessment
The Core Elements: Work Capactiy, Strength, and Endurance
At the heart of the Human Predator Mulepack Program lies a strategic approach designed to elevate hunting prowess. Ouyourr programming revolves around enhancing your work capacity – the ability to sustain high effort over extended durations. This equation encompasses crucial physiological components.
Aerobic Capacity Training: Building the Foundation
This is low- to moderate-intensity type training (think heart rate Zones 1 to 3). It makes up the bulk of our conditioning because it has the biggest long-term, and short-term, impact. It also builds your recovery system so you can recovery from more intense training. Without sufficient aerobic capacity, you won’t recover from high intensity training.
Aerobic Power Training: Elevating Energy Efficiency
Pushes your aerobic energy system to its limits so that it learns to produce energy quickly. This saves you from relying on your anaerobic energy system, which is inefficient and causes you to quickly fatigue. For example, if you have a hard uphill climb, you want to rely on aerobic power to get you up the hill.
Relative Strength: Energy Conservation
Is the amount of force you can produce relative to your bodyweight. The stronger you are, the less each action costs you. So, being strong is an energy conservation strategy. Being strong also improves your resilience and resistance to injury.
Strenth Endurace Prolonged Performance
Allows you to use your strength over longer periods. Think of taking a break during a long pack out. Your pack tips the scales at 100 pounds. You sat down to have some water, now you have to get back up and carry on down the trail. If you don’t have sold strength endurance, getting up and going again will be harder than it should. And each step will cost you a lot more.

Packmule Training Block Layout
All of our training is planned in training blocks that
emphasize the development of these qualities.
Each block is between 8 and 16 weeks.
Our Off-season Training Block focuses on aerobic capacity and strength endurance. It lays the foundation for the rest of your training.
Our Max Strength and Aerobic Power Training Block focuses on aerobic power and relative strength. It trains you to raise the ceiling on your fitness.
Our Pre-season Training Block focuses on utilizing all of the qualities in hunting-specific ways and ramps up the intensity to get you in peak condition before hunting season.
Our In-season Training Block maintains all of your abilities so you don’t lose what you’ve gained during hunting season.
All of our training blocks are broken down into one-month training phases. Then, each training phase is broken into four training weeks. We wave volume and intensity so that you adapt to the training.
There are six planned training days during each training week. If you can do all six, great! But that doesn’t mean that you have to do all six. We guarantee results if you train for at least four days per week.
We’ll work with you based on your goals, schedule, and the outcome of your Backcountry Readiness Assessment to determine the right weekly training schedule for you.
Here’s an example training week from our
Off-Season Training block:
MONDAY: Eustress training
(builds strength endurance and mental skills)
TUESDAY: Zone 2 conditioning or Rucking
(each builds aerobic capacity)
WEDNESDAY: Tempo strength training
(builds strength endurance and grows slow-twitch muscle fibers)
THURSDAY: Blood Flow Restriction Conditioning or Rucking
(each builds aerobic capacity)
FRIDAY: High-intensity Continuous Training (HICT)
(builds strength endurance and trains the aerobic capacity of fast-twitch muscle fibers)
SATURDAY: Rucking
(builds aerobic capacity and efficiency under load)
