Thinking about giving the national guard a go in my old age (35). Just bought a goruck plate carrier to start practicing ruck marching. Got a 30 and 20 lb plate... I’m excited to give it a shot!
I'm 30 turning 31 this year I'm definitely enlisting next year around February. Let's do this bro
Don't think about it man, just do it. You'll enjoy it. I enjoyed my service time.
@@hybridramper-futurearmy1160 Good luck to you both!
Did you join yet? I just went through BCT this summer at 34. It really wasn't difficult. If you're thinking a combat arms MOS I would recommend rucking before hand to avoid an injury.
Hey proud of Warrior!
This will help getting my time down thanks i usually come in at 2hr 40min for 12 miles im striving for 2hr 20min for 12miles shorter people have to work a lit bit more harder than taller people.
So hard to find helpful advice on rucking. Thank you
Absolutely! Glad this helped!
When I did this good training. Always add a little weight! The standard is 35 pounds. Personally train at 45+pound. And do some running
Excellent video. This is a great series! If I could recommend a follow on video it would be how to properly fit an army ruck to your body. Too many soldiers just take their ruck from CIF, load it up and go.
Great idea!
Today I found the chest strap and I cannot believe that I didn't strap it down sooner! It feels so much more secure!
I have just started rucking. Your videos are really informative and motivational. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you for making these videos. Appreciate it. 👍
If struggling you can do sand bag carries on your shoulder(one side and switch) area lunges with the sand bag. Incline lunges with dumbells will also helps. Then also doing hip exercises.
I did exactly as you described, the interval trot/walk and up/down hill changes on 2 different 12 mile rucks. First one came in at 14:30 average pace and second one was 13:50 average pace. Very good advice to make it doable! 👍🏻
Great job! 🤘
I was looking for videos like the ones you have been posting. I just completed my spur ride a couple weeks ago (I guess cavalry version of EIB?) and honestly I feel like what killed me was not packing my ruck right so I’m going to definitely use these videos as a tool for future goals that I want to complete
🤘 tell your friends! 👍
Cavalry Version of EIB is ESB, not a spur ride.
I miss that route. lol. It was a good and challenging route.
This dude is jacked
💪 💪
Just started rucking again, using a 20lb plate. Whenever I take my dog for a walk I wear it but that is usually just for mileage not time. I try to do a longer timed ruck once or twice a week. I'm an old broken vet (42) but my splits are between 19 n 20 minutes.
Because I don't trust my right knee at the moment, my uphill times are 3 to 4 minutes faster than my downhill times.
The old not wearing a hip belt idea came from the ALICE pack days. For one, it interfered with the old LBE, and people had the idea it fatally slowed you down in dropping your ruck if you get into a TIC. I get the argument, but I always used the hip belt on the ALICE and MOLLE rucks. Granted, I'm also just a broken down old POG, so take it for what you will.
The shirt is awesome!! Thx for the great advice and your service!!
🤘
18:15 I really thought that pullup bar was gonna fall apart
Me too lol
Love the content. Really opens my eyes for the journey ahead in my career and gets me in the right mindset for not just school but day-to-day training as well.
Great video man, definitely keep them coming
Thanks. Will do! 💪
Excellent video posted to our ruck club group in NYC.
Nice thanks for that! I’m glad it’s useful to you! 💪
Hoping to get the Ranger pack! But to whoever wins it thats awesome! Good luck out there fellas!
Great stuff bud
That's definitely the Matta Mile, right by the 27th EN BN (south motorpool).
👌
@@GrittySoldier North of that location (past that Sapper St. & Gruber Rd. intersection), there's a spot called 1SG Christopher C. Rafferty Memorial Field which has the start point for a route we call the Engineer Trail which also has several small obstacles you can do along the way if you want. It's relatively short but it's something different to try if you haven't already.
So.. I got ALICE and my BLACK BOOTS out of the closet as per our earlier discussion, and I was surprised to find out she still loves me after almost 20 years! I've never humped a MOLLE though, and I notice the shoulder straps on it look... different. Wider maybe? I'm gonna keep ALICE, but how do those shoulder straps compare? They look like they might be more comfortable. Oh, and blisters on my feet not even once! God damn right.
ALL of US!!!!!!
When you say 35lb pack DRY for selection what does that mean exactly???
DRY refers to all weight minus food/water.
@@GrittySoldier understood, thank you my friend!!!
Try drinking pickle juice to help with leg cramps.
👆 this
Great video series. What do you do or recommend to keep your knees and ankles in good condition...as well as work through minor stuff like shin splints etc?...
You are my rucking sensei!!!!..lol
Thank you.
Absolutely brother.
Mott Lake ftw for rucking practice
Hell yeah 💪
I've learned a lot from watching your videos and applying it to my training. I'm in the Coast Guard at MSRT but attempting to lateral over to the Army. I've got about 10 rucks in so far, 6-7 done with a standard pack, no frame, and some weight. The last couple of rucks I've done I have used the USMC Filbe pack that I got from a surplus store near me. I've been meeting the qualifying standard for time on 4-5 mile rucks but the ruck hasn't felt quite right. Been having to adjust the pack too much. It feels as if the frame of the pack isn't laying against my back like there is free space between my ruck and the middle of my back. I read that I might need to disassemble the ruck to adjust it to my torso length (I'm just under 5'10). Any insight into the matter? Thanks in advance.
There is a video on TH-cam of how to reassemble the filbe pack to fit taller individuals. Check it out, it may be just the ticket
@@Prodigalson0078 Hey man thanks for the reply, I actually found that exact video about 3 weeks ago and made the adjustments. The long torso pack has made a significant difference on my rucks.
How do you feel about wearing civilian trail shoes (hiking boots) i.e. Columbia when trying to build up initial endurance?
Personally, I think you should ALWAYS train with what you will use on game day. So for me, that’s my army boots, and the army rucksack.
If you switch up your footwear frequently during training, it’s really just confusing your lower mechanisms, which would more likely hinder your overall performance in the long run. Train as you fight! 💪
Training for the Norwegian ruck happening in a little over a month, any tips for doing the 18.6 miles
While I apprecte this Rangers effortgs, I rucjed in Nam , of over 100lbs for year,,,,especilly in the Highlands.....A Sau Valley.....the mountains in 68 w/da 101st,,,
That is insane! Thank you for your service
Man, started rucking some time ago, I'm seeing good results, thanks! But don't you get swarmed by insects during your ruckings after eating and sweating sugar? At least that's my understanding
I miss rucking. With my jacked up back, herniated l4/l5 and l5/s1, is there anything that I can do to get back into rucking?
I’m not a doctor... so I wouldn’t want to give you advice on that matter... maybe start light?
@@GrittySoldier I'll ask my chiropractor and invest in some better equipment. Torqued it this past weekends on a 9miler with a smurf ruck. I think it was my equipment choice.
Been out a while so no high speed schools for me. Keep up the videos, I like them.
For me the hardest thing about all this stuff is the lack of hygiene and sleep which means Ill probably never be a Ranger. I know it shouldn't matter but do you guys suffer from athletes foot,fungus,smelly feet, ext. due to having constant wet feet? What about the skin, does all that lack of hygiene cause rashes or people to breakout with acne?
Well that’s only an issue during school. I’m a pretty clean guy now.... mostly. 😉
contested
Being short I have to shuffle the entire 12 miles.
there weren´t 1 Eanber trained w/ us.......just us Paratroopers
So rucking can improve your run times?
Absolutely it can!
Thanks for the reply! Can rowing also build your engine for running and ruckng? I know they are different exercises but it's cardio
Camp Bullis ?
Have you ever done one for the Norwegian ruck march?
What style sunglasses are those?
Where should I get a rucksack that is similar to the Army’s??
Looks like you can get one from Amazon! 👍
MT Military MOLLE 2 Large Rucksack with Frame, Army Tactical Backpack, Multicam - amzn.to/3wmEPwn
Ebay has all you need. Go with either a USMC FILBE ruck with an ALICE frame or a MOLLE II army issue
What are y'all's opinion on taping your feet before a ruck?
Not big into it personally, I fell like tape tends to bunch up and be a nuisance. Better to just toughen up the feet.
@@GrittySoldier thank you
is that Bragg BLVD near the old Gabriel Demonstration area?
maybe Yadkin or Chicken Rd?
I can't say for sure that winning a ranger pack will help my ruck time. But then again I can't say it won't
Foot Care
the ol camp mackall....
Do you recommend ruckingg with a 8 pound dumbell to replicate a rifle?
I think a sledge hammer is a good way to go for that! 👍
I bought an 8 pound weighted bar. The downside is that it’s about three feet long
This is NOT a Ranger Yoga. Dig, And, the first thing a any troop is taught is this: :;DON¨T GET CLOSE RO ANYONE...combat rules, it does happen even way.....
Roll heel to toe
You don't wear a hat?
Don't forget to nasal breathe
Cardio..back..and...feet..
