Ok. I'm going to have to get off my butt and start rucking or something. My weekends usually consist of getting some stuffed jalapenos in the over first thing in the morning, going outside and shooting until they are done and then opening a beer to have with my snacks. All while my wife is at the gym of course. Swampie you're making me feel like a lazy ***.
Dedicated for sure brother. Keep at it!
Richard.

I lowered to 35# myself as I have been putting in alot of volume and have thrown in some 20# "recovery" rucks. For jailbreak, I will go with the freighter pack with belt... so it shouldn't be nearly as tough as your GR0 loaded at 50. I debated pushing the rush 12 to 50# but just don't think it will work out... that is where having the plates would be handy.

Ok I need some help. I walk between 4-7 miles every day it is not raining. I lift as my primary exercise. My walks are not effective as they were a few months ago. I have a backpack I used for elk hunting which it an internal frame pack. Could I just use this pack and put bags of sand in it or would that kinda defeat the purpose with a hip balanced pack like that? If what I have works great but no sense in doing something and not gaining the benefit

How you wear your weight can have added benefit ( or detiment) to your body. This is where loading comes into play.
I am rucked up... I have different bags for different workouts. Lighter school bag for recovery rucks. External frame for heavy rucks (weight to hips) and a technical bag for midweight rucks.

Swamp- my main training is weightlifting. I am trying to just add some intensity to my walking. I’m trying to also get benefits from sustained elevated heart rates. I would think adding 40# 80# of weight to walk with would accomplish this just not sure what to expect. I’m 604” and 245#. I figure if I could add 10-15 to my heart rate walking the. My 90 minutes of walking would be more productive.

Adding heavy weight and increasing pace to develop cardio isn't as effecient and has, as others have pointed out... injury risk.
When I was a slave to my HRM... i rarely walked.
BTW... studies show that sex is good for the heart... but I am here to tell you that if you happened to look at your HRM data afterwards, you would be dissapointed.
