The Rucking Bible: everything you need to know about RUCKING

[@demgphix]

I'm probably pushing myself a bit too hard, but I LOVE the feeling so much. I started rucking at the start of January with an added 40lbs, as of today I bumped it up to 60lbs and I'm feeling sore in muscles I didn't know I had 😂 I try to get in 20k steps per day, for 5 days a week. I'm already down 15lbs, so I'ma keep at it.

Don't over load it stay under 20% your body weight

[@theunvaccinatedcanadian3410]

How are your knees doing

[@GoingGreenMom]

Yikes! That sounds like a lot! I'm no where close to that at 12# and about 5000 steps 2-4 times a week July to October and am down 17 pounds.

I started rucking almost 4 weeks ago- doing 1 hour a day up and down a hill with a 450m (1476ft) incline. I started small with 5kgs (11 pounds) and have increased by 2.5kg each week. Now up to 12.5kg (27 pounds) which is just over 20% of my body weight (I am a woman). The fitness gains I’ve noticed from doing this each day is unlike anything I’ve ever tried. Spending time outside, in nature each day doing this has also been great for my mental health. I’m sure I’ll plateau at some stage, but I don’t plan on stopping.

I miss the Marine Corps. 4 years in the Infantry. I've been rucking lately. My first ruck was 6.75 miles on concrete with 20 lbs in my pack. My wife says I like to reward myself with punishment. My biggest lesson is to begin slowly and work up. That's hard to do because I like the pain. But I know too much pain will not allow me to bring more pain if I injure myself. Thanks for the tips bro.

Thank you for your service!! I’m going to start rucking with low weights when walking

[@raymondwade2433]

Sound advice. I’ve been rucking too long to remember; yeah, I’m that old. Going on 60 next year and I’ll be participating in a 65+ mile ruck run through the Florida Trail OCALA in January 2025. Time cap is 24 hours. I echo this advice to those new to rucking; start slow and light and gradually increase weight, mileage and pace. And don’t sell yourself short, put in the work and you’ll be amazed at what you’re capable of. 💪🏼 🎒

I ruck alot, as i live about 6 miles from the nearest town and dont drive (in cornwall, which has no flat bits). In general i walk 2-4 hours a day, and my backpack has a 6kg cat in it (i also carry my other crap in a shoulder bag, swapping sides often). This really adds to the workout as stimpy is a dynamic weight, he will shift position, sit on a shoulder, hang over the back. It really engages the core trying to balance. It also means if i do get tired my weight will walk itself (if he can be bothered).

[@CTGator99]

Stimpy! I love it❤

[@PrimalApexAcademy]

Hello, fellow Kernow lad! I had to ruck most of my life because having a back pack while living in small cornish villages and towns is essential IMHO.

[@toriwolf5978]

😂😂😂😂 love it

[@StayTrue1710]

Alot is not a word

[@topsysdad1]

I took a bunch of 17/18 year old to Tanzania in which we carried our gear on our backs. Did this for 24 days and loved it. Returned, and have continued rucking an hour a day with 25kg on my back. Doing this combined weight and callisthenics training to add to my regime.

[@ScottLittle-z1q]

Always good stuff james thanks

[@leodias3061]

Im now forced to ruck and run as my primary way of moving around because of financial problems... im also an amatour boxer. This september i moved myself 304km (probably a bit more), the earlier month 289km. My stamina for boxing has improved considerably, as my recovery speed and mental health as well.

[@harshadbhise8490]

Thank you Sir

[@jc4evur661]

Wish videos like this would mention the potential of disc compression on older (or even younger) ruckers. Best to see your chiro before taking rucking up if you're over 50.

[@chrisnaidu5553]

Great video, lots of good information. Listening I realized that I am not packing my weight correctly! I will fix it for tomorrow!

[@jiteshhada-ul2ou]

Impressive knowledge

While completing the Ranger Indoctrination Period in late 1980,s the timed 12 mile road March eliminated a lot of individuals in my class. It destroyed the bottom of my feet.

[@deb-kenjohnson9497]

RIP was a killer for those new to rucking. New jungle boots sucked too. 1/75th Sept Oct 1983 for me. Interrupted by Grenada then finished up. Unit we rucked harder but much better conditioned for it and the boots are broke in.

I use to love putting weights in My backpack 🎒 in my teens..I was bigger than my dad when he got out the pen.

[@nickbigdigger]

I do 80 lbs, 1 hr, 2-3 times a week at the moment.

Could I ruck while doing my farm and yard work? Would that be effective?

[@OldManStrength2112]

Your Viking training program calls for using Barbells, Dumbbells, and Kettlebells? The Viking didnt have any of this equipment.

They will outlaw rucking, because they cant control it.

[@oscarbear7498]

as a farmer a working animal such as a horse in good fitness should only be loaded max, 20% their weight safely. Humans have terrible spines on 2 legs. So pushing over 20% thinking your better than a horse is epically retarded. Never run over loaded as your muscles can take it, but your spine has disks that can not
