I am 73. My wife and I hike 6-7 miles a day on trails in the hills around our home. I have always carried a day pack for essentials, bear spray, clothes storage, micro spikes in the winter, water, etc. That pack weighed 8lbs on average. I get into zone 2 for maybe 8-10 minutes at a time on our hikes for maybe 5 times each hike. I just added a 10lb plate and I feel it in my shoulders (after the hike) and in my legs during, but not a major stretch so far. I plan to go with just one 10lb plate for about a month and then add another 10lb. My goal is to get to 30lb's of plates (for a total of about 38-40lbs on my back) within a year. Thanks to Dr. Attia and Jason for bringing Rucking into my program. A special thanks to Jason for your service to our country.

That's great that you're working on this at your age. (I'm not that far behind you, at 66.) Did you make that move up to 20 lbs. of plates, yet? Here's some food for thought: Why wait a full 30 days, and then suddenly double your weight? How about titrating the add-ons...? For example, you could add a 2 1/2-lb wt. each week, or so. If you have smaller weights, then your increases could be more frequent. I actually own a weight vest where the individual weights are only a little more than two ounces, each (7 of them make a pound). It came with 10 lbs., but will go up to about 34 lbs. I'm only adding about a quarter or half pound every week. (It's amazing to me that I can feel the difference, even with these small increments.) I like taking it gradually, and making sure my body has time to adjust. (I also do lots of hanging and pullups while wearing the vest, and that's where I'd really notice the difference if I were increasing the weight too quickly.)

@wsteele5864 2 месяца назад

@@jimreadey4837 That vest sounds great. I am at 20lbs (in addition to the weight of the new sturdier pack I bought brings me to 25 total) and did do the next increment in 5lb steps. I bought a couple of inexpensive 5lb bar plates on Amazon, since replaced with a 10lb square plate that fits a little better and plan to use the 5lb plates in my next increments. I definitely felt the 5lb increments each I added one, but I also feel like I am getting stronger. My wife and I recently did a 14mi loop trail with 2000’+ elevation gain (without the weighted pack, just our normal day packs and extra water) and while pleasantly tired, not all beaten up. I think we will stick with rucking for life.

@jimreadey4837 2 месяца назад

@@wsteele5864 Very impressive distances and weight (particularly where I've only added about half the amount you have). I'm feeling increasingly excited about this incredibly simple, primally-rooted exercise, and your story has just become part of my inspiration.

@leoneldelarosaibarria 5 месяцев назад

Exactly. Reduce the weight. Start light and gradually build up. I remember when 30 lbs. felt like a heavy carry and I had to move slower to reduce the risk of injury. After almost 2 years rucking somewhat consistently , I can now go hours long with 50 lbs. very comfortably. You notice how your ankles, knees, back, etc. start getting stronger. In the wise words of Jason McCarthy: “Rucking will be bigger than running” so get going folks. It is truly life-changing.

I do ~4 miles at 30 lbs twice a week, with a 3-day gym split as well. The walking is flat (coastal Florida) but on the whole it’s a fantastic moderate workout regimen that I can keep consistent every week. I often WANT to get up and hit the miles or the gym.

I'm a competitor in the Mammoth Sniper Challenge. Our load is 60+lbs. Trained for 9mo prior to the event and never had any issues. Came back from the event and continued training indoors with the same weight on the treadmill at 10% incline for 40min - that's when I developed achilles issues.

@PeterWolfe2012 22 дня назад

The old-fashioned "airborne shuffle" is criminally overlooked. Stretched out "running" is dangerous enough without trying to do it under weight, But . . . the airborne shuffle is less dangerous with reasonable weight AND it covers distance amazingly quickly.

The pack weights for elite military units such as MARSOC, Navy SEALs, Delta Force, and Air Force Pararescue (PJs) often amount to approximately one-third to one-half of an operator's body weight. Here's a more detailed look: ### Bodyweight to Pack Weight Ratio: 1. **MARSOC (Marine Raiders)** - **Typical Pack Weight**: 60 to 100 pounds. - **Estimated Body Weight**: 180 to 220 pounds. - **Ratio**: Approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of body weight. 2. **SEALs (Navy SEALs)** - **Typical Pack Weight**: 50 to 90 pounds. - **Estimated Body Weight**: 170 to 200 pounds. - **Ratio**: Approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of body weight. 3. **Delta Force (1st SFOD-D)** - **Typical Pack Weight**: 60 to 120 pounds. - **Estimated Body Weight**: 180 to 220 pounds. - **Ratio**: Approximately 1/3 to over 1/2 of body weight, especially for heavier loads. 4. **Air Force Pararescue (PJs)** - **Typical Pack Weight**: 50 to 120 pounds. - **Estimated Body Weight**: 170 to 200 pounds. - **Ratio**: Approximately 1/3 to over 1/2 of body weight, depending on the mission. ### Considerations: - **Physical Conditioning**: Operators in these units are highly trained and conditioned to carry heavy loads. Their training regimes include strength, endurance, and stamina exercises to prepare for carrying substantial weight. - **Gear and Equipment**: The specific contents of the packs vary, but typically include weapons, ammunition, body armor, medical supplies, food, water, communication devices, and mission-specific gear. - **Mission Requirements**: The weight of the pack can fluctuate significantly based on mission duration, environmental conditions, and the specific operational requirements. ### Example Breakdown: For an operator weighing 200 pounds: - **1/3 of body weight**: Approximately 67 pounds. - **1/2 of body weight**: Approximately 100 pounds. This comparison highlights that these elite military units are often required to carry packs weighing 60 to 120 pounds, which translates to about one-third to one-half of their body weight, ensuring they can sustain their operations effectively in various challenging environments.

@MrOccyc 3 дня назад

What a lot of people don’t hear in that assessment is “highly trained and conditioned”. They think they can go out cold and throw 50lbs on their back.

I don't want to sound like a whiny crybaby but I truly think I may have induced a Morton's neuroma in my left foot from first rucking in my xero minimal shoes, on concrete and focused mostly on going up and down hill. I really enjoyed the activity though. Felt good! My neuroma started right at the time I first began rucking. So, unsure if it was truly causal or just coincidental. I just have to wear cushioned shoes now. (Had been in minimal shoes for a couple years before the rucking and neuroma. So, everyone, learn from me. Consider wearing shoes with a bit of cushion if you're going up hills especially on concrete. Enjoy!

Not sure if this happened to anyone, I have a weighted vest and I started carring 20 lbs, I was at 10 with a cheaper vest but I wanted to get something heavier, so 5 days in and my stomach muscles feel like I did 100 sit ups. It is very painful and having a hard time walking. It's a little better this morning but still having trouble walking. Also I'm a 61 yr. Old female and have been walking for years. Just started with weights about a year ago.

@diamantimaths2135 5 месяцев назад

Does a weighted vest do the same as rucking?

@peter-robinson 5 месяцев назад

with rucking, depending on the type of pack, the weight can sit on your hips or hang from the shoulders. I think a weight vest just hangs off the shoulders, but I’ve not actually used one. The other key difference is the distribution of weight front/back can be quite different. So they affect posture differently and exercise some different muscles.

Rucking comes from the military when the soldiers had to march with their Ruck Sack on their backs. Typically these were pretty heavy. So the activity came to be known as “rucking.”
