Thanks for the reply Andrew,
I’m currently training for mountain hunting for this coming September. I was at 8 hours last week and am finishing week 8 of my transition period. About to move into 8 weeks of max strength but being that I’m already relatively strong I was considering beginning a gym ME session midway into that period to prep for the later specific ME period. I’ve done ME for shorter periods in the past and am typically very sore for the 2 days after. I’m planning on doing more recovery with swimming but it just seemed I could possibly fit in more volume before i hit that doms period.
