BEFORE.

No added weight.

Put 30lbs or 20lbs in your ruck. Depending on your fitness level, add more or use less. No ego in going down. No “hero awards” for going too heavy and moving poorly or getting hurt.

Go lighter or add more weight. Focus on your technique and positioning. Always move the weight as fast as possible.

Adjust the weight to your preference. No ego here.
