Any of you guys ruck/tab?How did you balance that with lifting weights and maintaining strength?
>>77213747rucking is for faggotst. ex seal
>>77213753When do you did it, how did you balance your training?
>>77213758just fucking go. if you want standards, ill tell you what I can remember. army grunts would ruck with 60-120lbs for miles and miles. really really funny seeing a 5'6" grunt with a 120lb ruck. they walk, crawl.rangers, same shit, they move faster.SF less weight, moving fasterseals, 45lb plate in the radio pouch of an alice pack and we ran. I mean we fucking RAN. The longest timed, ruck run ive done in training was 16 miles in the desert and soft sand. it was hot as fuck. i took second and got beat by a guy who ran distance in college and he ran it under two hours. I was a little over two, so roughly ~7.5 minute miles for sixteeen miles in rising heat with full kit + ruck. it fucking sucksyour gate can not stay the same. you have to adjust depending on how much your carrying, fatigue, running surface, shoes. If youre in the sand get on your toes and shorten your stepsThis is almost twenty years ago now...
>>77213777>gaitam retarded former zog-bot
>>77213747The only thing pack marching is good for, is breaking you over time.Honestly you're better off straping a light chest-rig on and doing some hill sprints.t. ex-grunt
>>77213758if you can't run sub 7 minute miles i would expect to be able to ruck sub 8 minute miles. Also, highly prone to injury. I wish I had some pictures of the chaff you suffer from this shit. your back, thighs, armpits will just turn to burger . some dudes have thicker skin but it don't matter>>77213791lol this guy knows
>>77213747only 10-15kg for a few months. lost fat as a walker but needed to walk for hours to feel something. walking with weight was the bridge to running
>>77213747I do a lot of backpacking and hiking. I don't do much for gym leg day except during cold months. Ex active fatty though so I have decent legs from carrying around 50lbs of ballast anyways
>>77213747No thanks from a former 11C in 10th Mountain. Id rather just wear a plate carrier and do 60/120's.
>>77213747Rucking is retarded. If you really want to do something similar just go backpacking in the mountains, way more fun and there's actually a point to it.
>>77213747If you've gotta ruck you gotta ruck but for the most part honestly just do like incline walking instead on a treadmill or something, it works similar muscles and doesn't crush your knees on your free time
>>77213777What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?
Just wear a vest or weighted backpack and start with low weight to save your knees from exploding
>>77213747just go to school if you want to carry backpacks with a bunch of textbooks in them lmao
>>77213747If carrying heavy groceries home count, then I ruck.
>>77213747Fuck that shit, I absolutely hated it and never saw any benefits to it. Only physical damage. One of my least favourite things I had to do in the infantry.
>>77214441i said youre a nigger and niggers tongue my anus, have a nice day
>>77213747The gayest form of training.
>>77215062>training

You already made this thread a year ago https://desuarchive.org/fit/thread/76186736/
Rucking is the worst form of "training." You should only do it if you're literally forced to. There are no gains to be made and you'll only end up damaging joints in your lower body until at least one breaks.Ask me how I know.
>>77214892I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.
>rucking isn't good for anythingIt's not the best way to train individual fitness, and it is highly injurious, but sometimes it's the only way to get some shit done. The armed forces wouldn't waste their fucking time with it if they didn't need to. Being able to carry shit is a good skill for man to have.>t. neverserved
>>77213753Based brother too bad all these pigs are gonna take our VA gibs soon
Why do so many ruckers and ruck groups absolutely LARP as military? They have the Velcro patches, give each other call signs, wear camo, have bags that clearly look like it came from a surplus store All to walk around their suburbia hellscapes. Very gay indeedYou’re better off just back country hiking with your gear and maybe learn to camp if you can
Rucking has no health benefits.As a former medic I’d ask my providers what they thought of Chiropractors and rucking. Fake and gay is pretty much the consensus.I worked with an FST, Family med, PT clinic, Docs, nurses, and PA’s and they all said the same thing.
>>77216724Because they were too shitty/scared to do the real thing. They’ve also never had to do it with chewed up feet, sleep deprivation, heat exhaustion, or any number of shitty things that generally seem to go along with the real-world application of rucking. I seriously hate rucking and am bewildered why anyone would do it
>>77216724The world is absolutely filled with fags who were scared to join the military but like to imagine themselves as tacticool tough guys. It's just another form of that.
