If you have a fetish for emulating roman legions and/or the military, then it's the exact type of fitness they engage in on a daily basis. Throw on a 60lb pack and march 20 miles every day until you reach legionnaire status.

homosexual you don't ruck for fun. That's why you're a homosexual. You ruck because your fricking life depends on it. Being able to move supplies and equipment in and out heavily obstructed areas.
Let me see you ruck. I'll give you a reason to run
It's a specific type of conditioning that is difficult to replicate without the actual movement. It's just as easy to do as easy to frick yourself up by putting too much weight on too quickly, or trying to be hardass. You can get a couple 10lb weights and put them in your backpack to get started, and then go for like a three mile walk.
I'm going bear hunting in a little over a month and while I'm okay at 5k feet cardio-wise, when I'm hiking at 12k feet, and have a lot of gear, and then oh hey by the way I have to haul a bloody carcass through the woods, I need to take some rest stops. I'll struggle hard if I don't condition myself appropriately, so rucking is the answer here.
It's a great workout and requires a different mindset. Like, doing 1k reps of a 5# dumbell is radically different than doing 10 reps with 45#.
Am 5’10 195lbs, I ruck 44lb 4-6 miles regularly and it genuinely feels better in my knees than even jogging at this point. Also get to admire nature while hazing yourself
I ruck 5 miles every other week. You burn more calories walking that running right? Well imagine walking with a extra 50 pounds on your back. It also works out your traps, back, and legs.
You do not burn more calories walking than running you fricking moron. Walking or running the same unit of distance requires roughly the same work which means equal calorie burn, but per unit of TIME running is obviously vastly superior to walking.
Please never post again. That shit was so moronic. Why would you even think that?
It's just walking. Which is a perfectly fine and healthy thing to do. Walking is the main reason the non-fat countries are non-fat.
The morons who post about doing it as if they're participating in some sort of alpha male SAS-SEAL grizzfest don't realise that in the military the weights are much higher than whatever websters fitness test they're looking at (I regularly carried >60kg/135lbs for weeks at a time, carried over 100kg/220lbs when shifting mortar shells and link) and that it's notorious for fricking your shit up. Not very alpha male to have arthritis at 40yo.
Easiest, most reliable way for anyone to get massive calves regardless of shit genetics. Other than being a calflet, joining the military, or I guess if you're homeless living out of a backpack, it's not worth the time.
Gay as frick
took the words right out of my mouth. And your wiener
A great way to wear down the cartilage in your knees

It's an inefficient exercise, unless youre planning to go to selection why would anyone do this? Lmao, swim Black folk swim, more bang for your time
>why would anyone do this?

what it says on the tin
You'll get really strong calves. You're also going to lose about an inch of height if you do it regularly for years.
its an excellent way to get in shape to ruck further carrying heavier shit
t. infantry

This is my go to plan for rucking
Military larpers gtfo. If you're a civ stay the frick away. You WILL get laughed at
So what's the difference between a long hike and "rucking"? Just how heavy my bag is?

Can you ruck to the burger king truck and grab me a whopper?

Beauty of American logistics
you sound very fragile. almost feminine.
Technically hiking with a pack is rucking but to go 'rucking' implies carrying the weight for the sake of carrying it not out of necessity.
Rucking = tacticool bag
Assault backpacks?
Who gives a frick? You don’t need a check from ZOG to fight for Israel to be allowed to wear a backpack pal.

Well it’s like walking, but worse in every conceivable way

Lmao
Care to, extrapolate?

good marketing to sell losers a $300 backpack
literally pointless unless you plan on going to a school that requires a good rucking time.

I was unironically thinking about getting a military style backpack since they seem convenient. This thread have convinced me otherwise.
