Howdy partners, I’m sending this list out just prior to packing for another backcountry hunt with my friends over at Cervicide.
This time I’m heading into an extension of the Allegheny National Forest for 5 days and have a few tags in-hand, including my first DMAP tag as well as with a bow and muzzleloader for deer and bear.
If you’re a hunter you may find this interesting, if not I don’t blame you. But what is undeniable here is that if you choose to consume animal proteins, hunting tops the list of ethical means of doing so.
Since I’m heading in with my friends from Cervicide, here are some links to podcasts that I’ve done with them.
Episode 073: A Hunting Diet and Nutrition with Ruthless Performance
Ep. 1 – Appearance on the Whitetail Theories Podcast [FROM THE ARCHIVES]
Now onto this week’s list… I was particularly interested in Mark Rippetoe’s Two-Factor Model of Sports Performance. This is definitely a concept that we’ve implemented at Ruthless Performance prior to seeing it spelled out in such a concise way.
Check ’em out below:

Five Home Gym Essentials
This new post on the Ruthless Performance blog was created in response to the realization that our Mobility & Fitness Studio–albeit a small space–is a damn near perfect set up for a home gym.
In this article I discuss a handful of basic pieces of gym equipment that could take any usable space at home and turn it into a highly functional gym.
Equipment manufacturers are likely to complicate the matter because of their interest in getting you to spend the most money. But you don’t need to spend all that much to get a solid workout in if you know what you’re doing.
There are so many different scenarios and different pieces of equipment that could change depending on your living situation, what space you have available, and more. But these suggestions are ones that I think can help at least 80% of the population get a better workout than they might be getting at a busy commercial setting.
There’s no specialized machines on this list but that’s the beauty of it. Everything is multi-purpose and that fact doesn’t take away from the utility of these suggestions.
