That’s incredibly impressive, CA.
Just curious….do you incorporate other exercises into your rucks?
I’m at the beginning of my rucking routine, and do the following:
— Put on weighted vest — started at 17 pounds, up to 23 now. I know you like the rucksack. I tried that, but prefer the vest due to a more even weight distribution.
— Do 33 pushups with the vest on
— Do 12 bicep curls with a 25-pound dumbbell in each hand
— Started at 2 miles rucking, up to 3.5 miles now at a 15 minute pace over some rolling ground.
— Do 33 more pushups at the halfway point.
— At the finish, 16 burpees wearing the vest
— End with 12 more bicep curls with the 25 pound dumbbells
Doing this every other day. So I’m nowhere near your regimen, but I ratchet up one of (a) distance, (b) number of exercise reps and (c) weight on the vest, roughly every five rucks.
Goal is 4 miles, 40 pushups x 2, 16 curls x 2, and 20 burpees, all wearing the vest weighted at 30 pounds. At the current rate, I‘d hit that sometime in May.
I’m pretty motivated right now, but it’s cool. We’ll see how the discipline holds up in heat.
