I didn't not train when I was Riggin, but i would do recommend allot of free weight you know like single hand 70-100lbs dumbell lift (similar motion to pulling slips), Going up/down stairs w/ 50-100lbs (similar to packing mud), Squats to keep your legs strong, if you have access to Push & Pull Sleds, that would help keep your muscle memory (for Pushing collars ect) & last but not least, cardio for endurance.
I had this talk with my brother in law about a month ago, this is what we came up with.
Thanks!
Let me know if you do actually figure it out and how it works out for you. I can remember coming back from having my Rig racked was torture for the first week or so. Wish I was smart enough to keep in shape like you're planning to.Quote:
