▲ 6 r/Rucking
To Ruck or Row
Hi Everyone. I lift 3x a week and do cardio 3x a week. For cardio, I either row or ruck. For rowing, I do a 30 minute row with 3:50 steady and. 70 second sprint. I am dead after this usually and cool down on the eliptical.
For rucking, I am 5ft 8in 152-155 pounds. I ruck with a 55pd vest and do up hill stuff for 66minutes totaling 3.7ish miles. I work hard on this but it’s nowhere near as exhausting as the row and elliptical.
I was told not to ruck more than 1/3 your body weight. When I am not feeling it, I ruck.
My question is: what does next level rucking look like then? I feel like I have plateaued and don’t want to do something like increase weight when everyone seems to agree you shouldn’t do more than 1/3 your body weight.
