Rucking and gaining weight
Anyone here lift weights at the gym on the days they aren’t rucking? What program do you follow? Do you eat in a calorie deficit? Maintain? Or a surplus?
I’m currently 65KG 25M and trying to gain weight. I really enjoy rucking. Since I started my gym has fallen off considerably and I don’t enjoy it much. I’d much rather go out hiking in the rain than go to the gym.
Problem is gym and rucking go hand in hand. Build muscles in the gym so you can carry the weight.
Another issue is my calorie burning during my ruck. I easily burn about 600+ calories on these which is about 1 meal worth. Whilst trying to gain weight that’s not good. I enjoy rucking to much to give it up but it’s also making me lose weight. Any advice?
Following on from my recent ruck I posted my traps are quite sore. Would I benefit from doing some shrugs in the gym or is it just a case of getting out on the hills more?
