Rucker 4.0

I've been using goruck for months now. Usually I do 30 pounds but have gone up to 45 here and there. I started with a cheap frame ruck. It was alright. I know how to adjust weight in bags to make them comfortable. My father was army for 22 years and taught me how to. But the rucker 4.0 is virtually

I liked the Wild Gym better, but honestly I went back to my Lundhags Dovre 30 with plates or bricks for my daily rucks.I made a post about my thoughts and confusion on GORUCK some time ago. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to actually try the Rucker 4.0. It’s not as bad as I thought, but it’s bas

Unless you’re planning to throw your bag around on the ground and do CrossFit stuff, the GoRuck bags are completely unnecessary. GoRuck focuses on durability over comfort. I just ruck. I don’t do all that crazy stuff so I prefer comfort. Don’t get me wrong, WildGym bags are beasts too, but they are

I’m your exact age. A couple inches shorter. A year ago I was tipping the scales as high as 248. Tried to run. Too big, too old, too slow. Started rucking around the first of July.

I have a 25 liter GoRuck Rucker 4.0 and it is perfect for me. I’m not a GoRuck diehard or fanatic by any means. No hate or shame on any bag but here is why I like my bag. -I only use it for rucking and exercise. It has room for other things too which I use for a jump rope, a tension band specificall

I use a proper rucking pack. Weighted vests are generally not for breasted people especially if they have more although GoRuck has some that look decent. I bought a GoRuck Rucker 4.0 20L and am up to 30lbs in that. I also purchased an Evergoods Mountain Loader 22L that I carry a 20lb plate in. I'm p

I wouldn’t start at 50. Try 5 rucks @20lbs 5@25 5@30 Etc. This will let you get your kit dialed in and your body used to the frequency. The Osprey will work. Just like backpacking the advice is to get the weight high and close to your back. This will take some fiddling with a large pack like yours.

Shorter duration, incline if your trails allow it. Ankle weights for extra training for stability, lower core and abs. The shoulders will adjust. I use GoRuck 4.0. I've noticed significantly less back pain with it. But yes, even in 40° I break a sweat after about a mile.

I’m just shy of 6’3” and use the 25L Rucker 4.0. I bought it in March 2022 and it looks new minus a scratch from being accidentally dragged on concrete. I bought it with the hip belt and after a couple uses took it off. The pack sits high and tight like another person commented. I have a 25lb plate
